Black 4th gen spotted in Knoxville,TN

I was at Dick's Sporting Goods with my family and I saw a Black 4th gen with black rims (possibly 19's) and red/clears parked at Brother's Bedding. Anyone on the .org?

No idea, but there are soooo many modded Maximas in the Knoxville area. The few owners that I've actually talked to in person had never even heard of the .Org.

I always figured that if they had red/clears instead of euro's they were part of the .org (or past owners were). My stereotyping has failed me

I think I have seen the black w/black rims on lovell road a couple times.

I believe I have seen at least one black 4th gen on Lovell a while back and I swear it had retro-fitted projectors which really surprised me.

There are quite a few modded Maximas around town a lot more now then there ever has been, while I still don't see many very often it is more often than before in years past. Most I believe are not on the ORG though unfortunately . I would like to have a decent size meet ONE day. Hang out, cruise or something.

I'm sure most haven't heard of this site on here, but maybe you have. It's a local site mostly of Z/Gs, but it's open for ANY car. www.sportscarfrenzy.com It's rather dead over there it could really use more people. They go on a lot of cruises, lately the events have been AutoXing. I went on a cruise with them to the Devil's Triangle and it was quite a blast. I think this is one way we could get some Maximas together with other fellow Nissans, and other car enthusiasts and such.

Didn't really mean to take this off-topic a bit, but I would like to meet some of the people on here. I have met Ryan I have actually seen both your cars Silver and Meta. I was up on top of the Stadium during the WBHS AutoX so I never got to see who you were Silver. Meta saw your car at Pep Boys way back when but never saw you.

My car is currently down but should be back up in the next month or so. If any of you are up for a little get together I was thinking Foothills Mall Car show in Maryville. Happens every Friday as long as the rain doesn't show. We could chat, talk about the rides, and check out all the other great cars there as well. Maybe get a bite to eat at Roadhouse or something. I know there are at least a few others on this site from KnoxVegas maybe they will see this thread and chime in.

Once again didn't mean to take it off-topic but I think a meet is in order and needs to happen not fall through like other times.

When? It couldn't have been anytime since June 1st... I drove to Wallops Island, VA, for an internship and I've been here ever sine then!

I've seen Meta driving around town, and a few others. I need to get on SCF, I think I may have registered, but never posted anything!

I'd be up for a meet, but I won't be back in KnoxVegas before August 9. And, Yes, I will be at PSTCC on Sunday the 10th... I'm actually about to walk out the door and drive up to DC. I've got a free room and intend to AX with the DC Region tomorrow. It'll be interesting!

I was going to do the PSTCC event tomorrow, but every time I look at the weather the chance of rain keeps increasing. So I'm going to sit this one out, I'll be there though on the 10th as long as there is no rain.

I've been to the Foothills car show a couple times. lot's of people with new corvettes or mustangs.

Andrew: Are you going to the drive-in on Friday with the guys at sprotscarfrenzy.com? Sounds like fun, but I'd be too embarrassed to go with all this popping I've got going on, haha. I'm going to try a few things this week to fix it, including complete disassembly and relube if I have too.

yup got some rain, though I was asleep through all of it, working nights does that to you. I did wake up around 10AM and could hear it just gushing like crazy.

Ryan: Don't know yet, I think I may head up to Foothills, don't know though. Me and my buddy Taylor (guy that was there for moral support lol) maybe out all day looking for some supplies we're looking into starting a mobile detail business on the side. Also the Mall car show has a lot of domestics and old school muscle, but anybody is welcome its a good time could actually use some more imports .

Andrew: When you get your detailing service up and running, I'm sure that my mom and I wouldn't have a problem hiring you to detail ours.

If you decide to go to the drive-in let me know, and I'll join you. I got off of work at 7, so I would be a little late though.

I almost got rid of the popping, but apparently popping makes the steering wheel go out of alignment...who knew.

at 411 dragway they don't care what day as long as people show up. Saturday is usually outlaw days and shootouts. They have cut outlaw nobody shows up there maybe a shootout this weekend. I have gone on Saturdays and ran my car before as a tnt.

I know for a time if they were getting enough demand they'd open on Sundays. I think they've been open on Sundays for a while now, that's when a lot of the people go on the local board.
