This is my 2000 Nissan Maxima. I got it on March 5, 2001. It had a little under 34K miles on it when I got it. It is a Sunlight Sand GXE with the Comfort and Convinience Package. Although it is an automatic, I still love the power of this baby! It is powered by the award winning VQ engine, a 3.0 twin cam V6. One of Ward's "Ten Best Engines," seven years in a row.

UPDATES:

2-22-03 I can't believe that you are gone. And of all people why you. I wish you were here. I feel bad for all the times that I got angry at you and went off on you. Yet you were always forgiving and I never ever seen you mad. I know that I apologized and I know that I told you that I wish I was like you in that you don't get mad and let things get to you. Last time I saw you, was when me and you had a picture taken as I thought it would be my last days at work. Now I am afraid to get those pictures developed. Today I walked into work and things felt weird. Then I heard you were gone and through out the day I thought I saw you a few times, so it didn't seem real to me that you are gone. I know we never hung out, and I never really thought of you as a friend, but I promise that I won't forget you and that you and your family will be in my prayers. I only wish I had told you that you are a good person more often but more than anything I wish you were still here. Rest in Peace Ryan Gurnick.
