so i got an 02 nissan maxima on friday. No pics yet but its nice.

its white (dont know the specific color) w/ a pearl in it (nothing crazy, but it sparkles)

3.5 v6 (that romps... i dont know what hte hp is though.. i think its 240 but i could be wrong, although on a AEM intake dyno it stocked at 198 @ wheels and 212 w/ the intake so its pretty close)

4 door (obviously)... usual power shit. nothing extra special. Came w/ HID's though which is cool. I think the coolest feature on the damn thing is that the arm rest has a button that lifts it up another 6 inches which is very convienent, and it has a garage door opener thing right in the visor (which i still have to figure out how to work and program cause my garage door opener is from like 1985 or some shit...its like a 5"x3"x2"). Its got all the radio controls on the steering wheel, but it was a bitch to figure out how they all worked (no i didnt read the manual, i am a man remember). It also has auto down and UP windows up front, incase i ever have to pinch someone's face in the window and door and dont wanna hold the button...lol

downsides - the cup holders up front suck ass.. its like forcing me to only get medium sized value meals (although as fat as i am i really dont need fast food period...lol). I dont like how much im going to have to spend for new tires cause they are 245/45/17. And gas is going to be a bitch. bout 20-23 mpg, but it requires 91 minimum (which there isnt really a lot of stations round here that have that so its 93 for me). The body roll is rediculous so the first thing going in is a full suspension upgrade w/ coilovers so i can slam it in the summer and ride like a truck in the winter.

I posted at a maxima-specific forum and they all hate the ga... oh well cant impress everyone i guess, but i still need to be a member to find out information about the car, so whateva

i'll post pics up next week when i get round to taking them.
