Ode To "Maxine"
1997 Nissan Maxima



The story of my Maxima begins with me looking at the vast ocean of Maximas on autotrader and then I stumbled upon this:

It was beautiful. The flawless black paint and the white SE sport guages. The next day I drove out to the middle of nowhere and I was greeted for the first time with my baby.





After some haggling, my dad and I brought the price down to 6800. The dealer promised to do some minor work on the car and a few weeks later, I drove my first car home. I parked it, pulled out my camera and started documenting what was the happiest day of my life.

The itch to modify took over and after a a few hundred dollars, my car was just slightly different from all the other Maxes on the road.
