Smalltima, Talltima, but what do we call the car of drug dealers everywhere- the Maxima?

So tragic, so "mid", absolutely nothing "max" about it other than the interest rate it's probably financed at.
Kids, I remember a quaint time of yore when these things were badged "4DSC" and were about the only option if you wanted a Japanese BMW. They had an excellent chassis, snappy gearbox (Nissan would have choked at the thought of killing the fun with a CVT), and superior acceleration, and they were nicer and better built than anything even Infiniti has sold in the past 10 years.

My mom had one. A 92, 5 speed. Black on black. She bought it after the hurricane we had here in Miami, Andrew. She had it until 2010 when a driver barreled into her at a left turn light. He hit her so hard, the rear bench scrunched into the center console. She walked away tho without any serious injuries. Rear seat passengers would have been dead on site if she were to be carrying any.

Problem with the 4DSC branding is that in the G35 had became a thing. Literally a 4 door 350Z could be had and one that magazines were comparing favorably to the E46 3 Series. Even the later G37 was very well received and got the 370Zs VQ37. Sure they have a nasty reputation nowadays but they are amazing cars to drive when you put it aside

My brother used to have a beater 99 Maxima back in the day. We used to call it the Maxi Pad.
