    My Maxima has stood the test of time very well. I've owned it about eight months now and am very happy with it's performance. It has about 140,000 miles on it. Good fuel economy, absolutely no symptoms of problems, and hail-free body. It had always been garaged. Everything works on it with the exception of the "Loud" button on the radio (which I rigged to stay down). Oh well! :) It sports 1984(?) 300ZX Wheels, and Pirelli tires. I believe, don't hold me to it, that the previous owner had these wheels mounted on it because it was a cheap alternative to a higher rim offset. Meaning a wider wheelbase and better road holding capabilities. I have added a K&N factory replacement air filter, a pair of tweeters, a pair of 10" subs and an amp, tinted windows, and dual fog/driving lamps. I also have a bra, and a GTS Windflector for the sunroof. Not shown in the pictures are the removed "Nissan" badge on the grille and the "Stillen" stickers (placed on the black trim on the doors just behind the front wheels. More info and pictures coming soon!.
