(Words and Photos: Bryan McTaggart) – While sorting through scores of car pictures I have taken over the years, I found this. I found this poor Nissan Maxima in a hotel parking lot in Carbondale, Illinois while I was visiting relatives for the holiday season. I wasn’t sure what to make of it then, and as I look at the pictures now I still don’t get it. If he’s making fun of people who buy the tacky stick-on crap in the ricer aisle at the local car-parts shop, then job well done. If he’s trying to be cool, then it’s an outright failure. I’m sure it’s a riot when he drives the car to a church or school. All I know is that Nissan wasn’t expecting this. What say you?
(So we’d argue tat there’s no such thing as a “Good” Maxima, but holy smokes does this thing peg the crap meter – Ed.)
That’s a Maxima
I have corrected that grievous error!
That’s a Maxima crap.
I wonder if 3M sends him a Christmas card every year. Does Pep Boys call him every time they get a new shipment of goofy chrome skulls? That’s a lot of skulls, he must be a total badass. Or maybe a pirate?
Distracting Mr Garland name
Wow I failed. Disgracing Mr Garlits name
um…he’s stuck things to the rear side glass, thus making it impossible to open… I know theres multitudes of crap going on here but that stands above the crappiness as the crappiest aspect of this vehicle – every other stick on bit may be utterly useless but the window thing has an added feature of screwing up something that at least used to do something…
He could get a bazillion YouTube hits making a video of what happens when he tries to roll the rear windows down, though. I’d watch for sure.
Don’t know why y’all are calling a Maxima crap, this one may well be but I’ve got an ’04 6 speed with exhaust and a few suspension and brake mods that will hang with most anything you wanna bring my way and get 28 mpg doing it. It’s been a damn solid car.
true story: their alternator evolving saved 5 million other makes and models allt he way back to the 70s. Sideways and v6, blah with the go fast stories, but someone in ricer land is trying to do something nice no doubt.
***spelling error…..should read BIG DOODY
Needs the Caterpillar 797B drive-by!!!
Ha! So true.
what?! no fake, stick-on, Buick port-holes on the fenders (or stuck somewhere) to go with all the rest of the ‘happy-crappy?’
Very impressive.
Wow, this is beautiful beyond any description.
Amazingly beautiful.
Wow.
.
Even snow won’t go near that thing…
Don’t go to hard on him. Don’t y’all know all that stuff it worth an extra 5mph a piece? He now has the second fastest car on the planet.
Mexima.
This is your brain on drugs !
