Those altimas are suprising quick. i had a high school buddy with a basically stock 2000 something 3.5 and he ran a 13.2 at our 4500ft elevation.

I wanna go to that track cause my Mustang will flirt with 10s. Some tracks are known to be off on their time s. That's about a full second faster than an Altima should be....and that's with a good launch and driving the snot out of it.

See this is the problem, this is why I never rev sitting still. That's the thought..that I have to show off. What if I just like revving my motor? :hick:
At big city-wide car events where there's people cruising around, it's fun when you can get a bunch of people revving at each other. MADNESS!!!!!!!!

And the sickest part about me is I'm the ONE GUY that if someone with a loud V8 constantly woke me up in the middle of the night...yeah it would suck but at work I'd be tired, telling people I couldn't sleep but I got to hear someone else besides ME out raising hell for once! Sometimes I wish I lived on a main road, I'd get more exposure to the other hopped-up cars in town. I'm sure I'd frighten them...I'd be jumping out of bed, running outside heckling them to do a burnout. MORE BURNOUTS!!!!

I'm in a nice neighborhood but there is one kid with an 02-ish Nissan Altima with clearly NO exhaust. Makes me giggle every time it goes by. I keep thinking "Come on, how much longer is this guy gonna put up with his beater, how much more pain is he gonna take?"

Yeah I used to be more fun. Now I just want to get my sleep!!

Kids. They make you enjoy sleep more than you ever did before. At least that's what my friends who have kids say.

Sometimes I wake up after 5 hours of sleep feeling better than times I slept in for 9+ hours.
Most of the time...I need 8. 7-7.5 very least. But I usually can't do my job right unless I'm rested up.

Stacks, go on an altima forum. Most guys are running 15s with them. A few 14s. 13s are modified. Google it.

I get to talk to the law probably once every 3 years, but I got to meet the nicest officer last week. Seriously, I wish all of them did their job this well.

I was speeding. Probably 95 in a 75 - I wasn't paying any attention. He was set up with a speed trap behind a bridge, and as soon as I saw him light them up, I pulled over - no reason pretending I didn't see him.

Him: "Running late?"
Me: "Yep, headed to the airport - point to my suitcase."
Him: "I'll make this as quick as possible, but I need your license."
Me: "Okay"
He then stands by the car and writes the ticket, asks a few things into his chest CB/microphone thingy...
Him: "If you sign this and agree to comply with the ticket, I'll give you your license back so you have your photo ID at the airport."
Me: "Cool."
Him: "Try to keep it under 90 for the rest of the trip. I hope you make your flight."

Start to finish, probably 3 minutes. None of this "why did I pull you over?" nonsense. Just a very efficient and nice guy. He knew I was in a hurry, I knew I was guilty, so we didn't try to banter with each other. I looked at the ticket, 88mph, which means that I can take driving school and get the points off my record!

Awesome experience. I wish they were all that easy. I should probably look up his precinct and let them know that the guy does his job well.

I am a Christian, but my right foot is the last thing on my body that will be sanctified.

For what it's worth, our cars meet the definition of "custom cars" according to Illinois 625 ILCS 5/1-113 and are exempt from testing and anti-exhaust tampering laws, if you want to fight it.

That used to happen to me quite often in a variety of vehicles. No ticket, no warning, no repair order. Just excuses to justify the harassment. No just cause, let alone crime. Then a closer look still reveals nothing. If I keep typing, it'll get all political about the laws and their enforcement. A job that is a moral dilemma. I have known since a kid I would never do.

I have no need to fight anything. No ticket was issued just a verbal "warning".
