"I have owned this car since 2005 and it has treated me very well. Everything that has ever been done to the car was strictly done be me and me alone. I put a lot of heart and passion into making my maxima different from all the others. It might not be crazy performance wise or have the suspension like others but it suits who I am and what I want from my car. This whole journey has been all about being different in a way that will inspire others to step out of our bubble and dream big. My maxima is my pride and joy and has transformed many times but I couldn’t have done it without the ORG. I have learned so much from so many people and I really want to say if it wasn’t for the org I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thanks for everything!"

I bought my Maxima 4 years ago only knowing that I wanted a manual transmission. Then I found the ORG and went from not knowing what an intake is to making my own BBMAF and tuning it. I think my car should be MOTQ because I stepped out of the box and am taking the road less traveled when it comes to modding a VQ30.
I'm nominating 95 Maxed and his '95 Maxima GLE. The car is an great work of art. Not that motified but I know that this car should be the MOTQ Location: Denver Colorado Contact: Via email or PM.

What Ive been through:
I am currently 18 years old and a freshman at the U of Denver. My father bought this car new back in 1995, the production date on it is July 94' so its one of the first 4th gens.
He gave me this car in May 2010, completely stock. It was a clean slate. Over the past two years I worked to make it my own. It started with just a strut bar, then came exhaust, then I did the suspension. It took me until October of 2010 to just get those 3 mods done. Ever since then, I would save up for the next mod.
By the end of my senior year in high school, 2011, I had decided to tackle a retrofit project. I texted ChrisMan non stop during the month it took to make them, he guided me through the build.
I love my car because it always gets looks and compliments. I love the fact that the hard work I put in to it make it mine and the fact that a 17 year old car can still get stared at daily by new people.
Now that I'm in college, I have stopped modding it to save money. It sits with the mod list. I drive it every Saturday to go snowboarding and wash it every Sunday. I love being able to walk into the parking garage and see it being the only well taken care of car. Simply going for a 5 minute drive in it will always put a smile on my face no matter Pics:

"This is my Merlot 2k3 SE. Daily driven, it's seen me through a lot. Carried my daughters to school, me on a whirlwind nationwide move thanks to Uncle Sam, and has settled into the local Max scene quite nicely. This is currently one the highest HP N/A Maximas (Auto5.5's) on the board with 267hp tuned by Hills Garage in MD. I personally do the majority of my work, but when help is needed GhostMax301, JayPee, DatDude, and AJCool are local and have helped a lot. I pretty much have touched every aspect of the car trying to make my daily keep up with the rest of the MDMAX crew 6spds and look decent doing it. They're serious about their speed here lol. Thanks Chris for the nomination. I've been on here a looooooong time. This is my second Max, but i love it more than my 4th Gen
