I just got back from a Vacation in my 2002 Altima 3.5se. The Car was a dream. I took it in for some service before I went which included fresh oil new wipe blades, break pads, and tires. 1800 miles, lots of interstates/highways, and more construction zones than I can count later and the Altima handled it like a pro.
On the way home we ran into a really bad thunderstorm in which it was raining so hard that I could barely see the road. It got real scary on the way home. There was standing water on the interstate and cars started hydroplaning I used the brakes and steered clear of one car that was spinning. A van plowed into another car and sent it into my lane directly in front of me. I was able to steer between it and the van and accelerate out of the mess. There was no way to stop because of all the traffic coming up from behind. A semi stopped taking up the far right lanes. We then called 911 to report the mess and got off the interstate and got a room for the night to wait out the storm. I have to say the my Altima combined with my good driving skills, some luck, and some divine intervention kept us safe through it all.
Here are a few pics of my Altima on our trip.
