welcome to the club! i've seen a lot of maxima's tastefully done. got any pics of yours? They are very good cars for DD, IMO. Congrats on making the switch. There's lots of vehicles for sale in the marketplace bout 2/3 of the way down the main forum page. hope you find what you're looking for. enjoy the site!

Thanks for the quick reply to the post, looks like this site has lots of great members like yourself, no pics of the maxima, probably cuz im too poor to afford a digital cam. Im tryin to sell it, but since i have no pics im just usin a For Sale sign from true value in the rear window, lol.

hey whatever works, right? That's how I sold my trucks. And I ended up selling them for more than I bought them for. LOL

anyway yeah you'll find a lot of cool guys to talk with on this board. lots of other forums I have been on are full of idiots, but by far this one is definetely my favorite. check out the regional sections at the bottom too, you can probably find other guys to chill with if you are so inclined. seeya round man!

Welcome to the forum. I'm in the same boat as your right now, looking for a Lxx car. Although I was never a ricer.

This forum has a huge amount of good info about these cars, and lots of helpful people.
