I just bought my Maxima. My 09 Altima was just totaled out by my insurance company. I was pissed, but I like the Max's power

Before my first maxima I owned a 85 Buick regal.
Then I got my 91 se maxima.
Then I traded in for a 99 gxe maxima.
Then there was the 83 Buick regal t-type which is now sold.
I also own a 87 Oldsmobile cutlass - yes I like my g bodies. Still own this car.
Then I traded in the 99 gxe for a 07 altima hybrid.

Before my I30 I had a '99 Acura 3.0CL. It was a gift from my grandmother (17th birthday). Unfortunately, after a year of owning it I lost control on the Garden State Parkway at highway speeds (roads must have been kinda wet but new pavement made it weird to tell the difference, and the rear wheels lost traction following a curve) and the car was totaled. Loved the car but I'm still glad that it was made in a way that saved my life.

I was going about 45 just before dawn with a ridiculous amount of fog. I was just trying to make sure I stayed in my lane. Damn thing came out of nowhere - literally.

94 f-250 with the most useless 460 in the world. Hooray for 8mpg!

I pretty much hate Hondas, yet I bought 2 of them like an idiot. 3 days into owning a 95 gle, I'm hating my hondas even more. Thank you meth head car thief who stole my car, and then let me catch you trying to part it in a housing development, I got my maxima as a replacement.

I've had something like 30~ cars in my life. I traded a 2011 MINI Cooper S turbo for the Maxima. I only had it for 3 months and it was in the shop 4x. I got pissed off and traded it. Paid $26,500 for that car and got $24,500 on trade. Coulda been worse...

I bought my Titan 1 week before the Maxima. Traded a 2010 Xterra for that. Nothing wrong with the Xterra, but the Titans are going for so cheap I traded keys and an extra $20/month in payment for a truck worth $10,000 more than the Xterra MSRP.

First was a 97 Outback wagon 5-Speed 4 Cyl 2.5L. Head gaskets went and it had a lot of structural rust damage...and I was offered the Max for nothing, so that's what I've got now.

I'm looking at 2005 and later Outbacks now to replace the Max with. Apparently the turbo 2.5 they put in those puts out 250 HP and torque...not bad. Plus, the AWD and ground clearance is awesome...especially in the winter.
