My stepson needs a good car, so I decided to give him my Maxima. My wife found this to replace it...











It's a 2004, has 30k miles, factory warrenty for another 2 years, manumatic, and is super badass. It has just about every option other than navigation. I also insisted on new tires and new brakes. The originals weren't worn, but wanted new.

It's a good autotragic, especially compared to the Maxima. And YES, I am really lucky to have her.

Be more like "My husband died when the dog ran by the car, pulled out the jackstand, and then mysteriously the jack itself failed crushing my husband who was tightening the last bolt for some damn performance parts on the G, That I'm going out in tonight"

I think that since I have slept less than 8 hours in the last few days, and can not sleep tonight, I am considering myself "on top of the world with happiness". So most upgrades will wait a while.

Greg, hit me up on AIM...

you should swap the transmission as your first mod.

Seriously, i was let down enough when i found out the max was automatic, but then i see you get a new car, and its a G. I figure "sweet, he probably got stick this time" but NOPE!

I got a really good deal on it... like good enough that I am okay with the autotragic. Not my 1st pick, but like I said, the deal was way too sweet to pass up.

I think the step-son got pretty lucky in the step-dad department also.
