View Poll Results: Where to have Washington Maxima Meet?
I've seen some people posting about meeting up and I think I'd be cool to do a meet soon! Not sure what is the most convenient place for everyone but if you guys are up for it lets get somethin going. Whenever I see the NYC Maximas im like shoot we need that tight knit Maxima community here lol.
Thats true! We will see if people are up to it. I think id be cool for a bunch of maximas to roll up to Stance Wars (in Bellevue) or Tailored Seattle this summer!
Not sure Stance Wars was on July 7th and Tailored Seattle was on August 6th I believe. But ya thad be something fun to go to and get all the Northwest Maximas together for!
Post this on nwnissaninfiniti.com and see who else is interested.
I repeat...post this interest on nwnissaninfiniti.com. That's were the majority of maxima guys lurk. They aren't that active anymore, but still check out that site. If I were in Wa, I'd be up for it too.
Haven't had a meet in a long time. Hopefully, in the next couple of months I will get my Max back on the road. I might be able to roll up to Seattle depending on the circumstances.
Just for reference, Sunday is usually the best day to have meets. There are rarely ever traffic problems or big events in a city and most people are free. It's OK to skip church once in a while to do something, IMO.
Ya it only takes me about 3 hours to drive from seattle to portland without stopping so I would be down for a Portland meet if its big and not just a handful of cars depending on the date which is decided. But ya Stance Wars and Tailored Seattle will be something fun that we should all try and plan for and its way off in the summer time lol Sunday's could work for me too.
I will lay down with the Continental DWS tire I have. Did really well on the ice and snow. Only slide a little when making really hard turns
hehe that's all good, the aforementioned Subaru AWD belongs to the wifey anyhow. Damn, son, Subaru AWD and studded tires, FTMFW! Puts my GA with normal allseasons to SHAME!
but when I get me a max, I will be getting the Continental DWS tires put on it. Everything I read is stellar.
I see your studded tires, and RAISE you Subaru AWD!
Ha!
I have a BMW AWD with Toyo Observe Garit snow tires designed for sports cars. It also has hill descent control and the cold weather package (heated seats, pass through ski bag, headlight washers).
actually, I preferred the Nokian studded tires I had on my FX35, but I got a good deal on these Toyos. Next set will be Nokians for sure. Best snow tires I have ever used.
If it makes you feel better, it is an e46 BMW with 120k miles, so it's not really an expensive car. I bought it with 101k for $12k and now it's worth maybe $9k? I think you could buy a killer 5.5 gen for that.
I was going to buy a 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon, but the local dealership would not budge on a trade in value for my FX35. The trade-in KBB was $18,500. They offered me $16k. I refused to take anything less than $18k and I ended up walking out. I put the FX35 on craigslist the following day and sold it four days later for $20,500.
So, I talked with MrGone about his e46 AWD and decided I would take a shot at one. I have been happy with it so far.
I don't know whos assuming I can let folks know, its not like my two best friends, dad and sister all drive fourth gens also lol.... But I will see what they can do, dads is still down, as is mine until I finish this damn 5 speed swap and get my steering fixed.

So what your saying is that you are still driving the truck that leaks. Hurry up and finish that swap, it has been how many months?

I would be down for a meet in Portland. My Max is falling apart now. Ir has gotten so beat up. I would love to see some Maxes that are nicer.
I had so many plans that 2 kids don't really allow for anymore.
If you guys have it in portland, I will it make it for sure rain/shine. I have another guy at work that just low miles 00GLE MAX so I can take him along also.
I too am down for a Portland meet. Hopefully something can get solidified. I have been to some really good meets at some of the McMenamin's like Edgefield or the Kennedy School. On my end is the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. Just a thought... I would like to meet some other Maxima owners. I am really enjoying my 20th Ann.
