I copied and pasted this directly from VWVortex and changed everything that said MK4 to Maxima. Their thread for this over there has grown tremendously in a month and is pretty cool. They have this on G35 Driver too.
Ok guys, I saw this Game on a BMW forum and thought it was great so wanted to share it here. Basically its we take pictures of our cars in funny situation or in dares that we give eachother. The first one to get it right wins a point and then can give the next dare. Everyone can try to do the dare but the first one to get it done wins.
Example: Maxima in front of a McDonalds-You get it done (you must submit picture of YOUR car in it and it HAS to be taken after challenge has been requested). Then YOU say a picture of an old guy holding an Maxima.org sign on a piece of cardboard next to your car.
So I am on another forum where this turned into a pretty cool thread. Knowing some of the members here I'd imagine it could get pretty awesome pretty quickly.
Pick a person, place, or thing to take a picture with that has an Maxima in it. The first person who responds with the picture that satisfies the request gets to pick the next request.
Note: please try to make the requests do-able so that the game can continue.
RULES - PLEASE READ
1) No photochop or photoshop real photos only
2) Please only post pictures of YOUR Maxima this way you will actually have to go out and take a picture if necessary (or if you've got the time..which, judging by some of the posts counts here... I think some of us do. )
3)No duplicates - let's be creative.
4) If you are the poster who meets the picture challenge, please put your next request in a BOLD font so it's easy to find. For the sake of continuity, a challenge will not be considered completed unless a picture is posted for that challenge AND a new challenge is posted underneath it. In other words, if you just post a picture and no new challenge, it doesn't count and the challenge you posted the picture for is still open to be fulfilled by someone else.
5) IF the challenge isn't met within 2 days the person who put the challenge up then has 24 hours to complete the challenge themselves. If they cannot complete their own challenge, they are docked one point and then pick a new challenge.
6)No challenge is to be made that involves any of the following:
* illegal activities (this includes, but is not limited to: guns, drugs, street racing, thievery, and sexual activities involving minors).
* currency (the participants of this game will not be limited to those with immediate access to large amounts of funds. There is one thing that we each share, regardless of the size of our bank accounts - and that is the fact that we each drive some flavor of one of the greatest cars ever made.)
* Destruction of one's own property or any piece of public property
Once a challenge has been satisfied, the user who met the challenge should post the picture in the Maxima Picture Game Thread
Again, as a forum of enthusiasts, this list of rules is growing and becoming more clear as time goes on. Please let me know if there are additional changes that the community feels would be beneficial to keeping this game going.
Mods - I feel like this is more of a general discussion/participation thing so I didn't put it in member rides. If you disagree, feel free to move.
so, the first request (and starting as easy as possible!):
A Maxima in a Driveway
Here is the list of challenges that have already been completed for reference thanks to 2brosgixxer (this is going up to post 1339):

Update featuring new competition involving signatures for monthly winners from Chris Gregg:
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:
I mentioned several weeks ago I would look into there being an award/prize system for the Picture Game. Waxima and I spoke about several options and I believe we have got something set up everyone can enjoy and keep things simple!!
We have decided there will be a monthly award/prize. The award will be a custom signature done by one of three members. They are Tigersharkdude, Showdown, and Dee.signs, major thanks to the three of them who are volunteering time for the Maxima forums and this thread.
I will be calculating points for the current winner and expect to have them posted tomorrow, no later than Wednesday.
- In order to determine a monthly winner, points will begin to be calculated a little differently. At the next point count, total points will be updated. However, I will place in brackets, only the number of points accrued for that 30 day period. Only the points for that 30 days will determine the winner.
This does two things. First it maintains the total points for those guys who have been playing from the beginning. Second, it equalizes the playing field for new guys so that everyone has the same opportunity each month to win.
- I strongly suggest that the winner utilize one of their images from that 30 day period to use in their award signature. I of course cannot mandate this, but this would make the signature more as a trophy for the winner. I also hope this will encourage guys to get more creative with their photography! Additionally, for guys who might win more than once, this changes up their signature, so it's still an award/prize for them.
The only thing I ask is that the signature artist put something into the signature like: "January Maxima Picture Game Winner!" The month would only represent which win it is (for approximately which 30 day period it is)....again, just part of making it a trophy for the winner.
- After approximately every 30 days (I'm human, it might be 31 days) the winner will be informed who to contact in order to have their signature made. Before making the announcement, I will of course contact which ever artist is in rotation for that 30 days, so they know who to be expecting an IM from.
This is just mine and Waxima's way of trying to keep things interesting and fun for everyone! I welcome any thoughts and feedback
How about this, new rule that a challenge is not considered completed unless a picture is posted for that challenge AND a new challenge is posted underneath it. In other words, if you just post a picture and no new challenge, it doesn't count and the challenge you posted the picture for is still open to be fulfilled by someone else.
For the sake of continuity, I'll make the next challenge:
So is the next challenge still a fast food restaurant?
Yes, and I suppose bonus points if it's a KFC since the last person to complete the challenge chimed in. I'll have this one if no one gets it before tomorrow. KFC is the last fast food restaurant standing in my town because of last month's flooding.
