I'm in VA, near Dulles airport out on route 50. I swear I drive by at least 50 2.5 Altimas everyday. Only the occasional 3.5's.

 

Good to see someone else in the area. Damn, this has been sitting here for so long and it took long to get support. I think I'm going to add this thread or forum section to my signature.

 

I never visit this forum. Saw it that day and figured I should represent.

 

LOL. Yes this place tends to be dead. I just added it to my signature, hopefully we can drum up folks on here that lurk, but don't post.

I'm cool with the Altima, but then I started to think of this MR16DDT that is in the Juke and what it would be like in a nicely modded Versa with an Impul kit. Hell I love the VQ, it would be nice if someone could shoehorn that bastard in a Versa LOL...

 

Blacksburg, Va...kinda far from the D.C. crew. But there is a silver Se-r that lives a building down from me. I swear I've seen on these forums but I can't seem to remember his name. It is dropped and has black rims with a red lip. I thought that was kinda exciting since no members ever live within a good distance to me and i just moved to a college apartment where this guy lives one building over. I'll try to get more details on his car without being too suspicious or stalkerish.

 

Hey Ankit, now I've got to use Google maps to figure out where Blacksburg, Va is located. I've driven to TN by way of Route 66 and then 81, sounds familiar. Just took a look at Google maps, sure did pass by there. Damn, that is far

 

Roll call fellas! Spoonie is in the house!

 

What's going on Newalt08? Which part of DC?

 

Ankit, I'm a fellow Hokie myself. Graduated 2005. I used to live in Terrace View and Shawnee. Man I miss college...

 

Thats whats up...I live in Foxridge. Lived in Pritchard the first year they allowed girls to live there. Apparently it had a nasty reputation before they did that (you probably know all about that).

 

I'm from southeast dc. What about you?

 

Greenbelt MD (10-15 minutes from DC) by 295-New York Ave. I do drive through DC on occasion, but I don't work down there anymore.

 

I lived in Pritchard before it was coed. Largest all male dorm on the east coast. I can't believe they made it co-ed, considering the girl to guy ratio at VT is so bad any way. Would have definitely loved having the Altima down there. Some pretty nice roads to drive on. Check out Mountain Lake Rd. Sometime. Definitely a nice road to test the SE suspension out on. It's down 460W. Be careful, brakes warm up real quick coming back down the mountain.

 

Well you see, I brought 2006 Bmw 330i down to Blacksburg last semester and went down some backroads with a couple of other Bimmers. Twas fun but I don't know the exact road names we were on.

I can bet you don't see that many Altimas too. Any pictures of your ride, what do you have done?

NOPE! Nothing that has the slightest modification at all. I don't put pics up b.c. it is stock. Don't have money to put into the car other than maintenance (which is why I'm on the forum...keep this car running for as long as possible/entertainment). Priorities are other places at the moment but as soon as I can afford it I want a bmw e30-restored, dropped, tinted, exhaust and that it (or that what the plan is atleast).

I just don't see myself spending money on modifying the Altima.

 

Spoonie, I think it is pronounced souffeast.

Kev, I can't believe you don't know where Virginia Tech is. After Mike Vick taking us to the championship against FSU w/ Peter Warrick in 2000 and the shootings back in 2006. We were on the map like crazy. And pretty much 60-70% of the students at VT are from NoVa. I know I sport a VT Alumni license plate holder, and I drive by about 40 cars a day with a VT magnet or something on it. There's some students with some pretty rich parents down there. Not unlikely to see a few Altimas around campus. I wouldn't be surprised to see a student driving a GTR down there.

What's your major Ankit? Mine was Mechanical Engineering.

By the way, I'm about to rep this thread in my signature to get some other people. I know I've seen other from the DMV on here.

I remember all of that LOL, but never realized it was in Blacksburg, VA. Shame shame shame. I remember how University of Maryland reacted after the shootings and started sending out massive emails and creating alert services to students, faculty and staff.

Yes, pleas rep. this thread, it's in my signature too. On my way to drop my daughter off in the mornings, I pretty much alway spot a white Altima coupe with rims going in the opposite direction, they have the Stillen front fascia installed; looks very nice!

@Newalt08: You work in DC as well? Pretty much bone stock with the car?

 

Not far from me at all.

 

NOVA resident here, I got to this thread from KEVQ35's signature.

Used to live in the State of the Free (MD) and now I've been in the State of the Nazis (VA) since 02. Just been driving since 08, and go to George Mason now.

 

Glad the signature is working Not too far away at all. Which part of NOVA specifically?

 

Yeah, bone stock for the most part. Just a few cosmetic things I've changed, such as LED tail lights, LED interior lights, Aftermarket iPod interface from USAspec. I like the way it looks from the factory to be honest. As far as work, I work in Rockville.

 

I guess the CVT is good for this horrible traffic. I take it you take G/W Parkway to 495 and come up that side?

My commute is only 15 minutes--instead of headers I have high flow cats--no cams, but pretty much everything else that you can bolt-on. There are still quite a few upgrades I could do, but right now I am more focused on that little girl in my avatar.

 

I live in fairfax county(Reston) but I used to live in greenbelt Md

I'm probably 30 min from DC

 

A few more people in here and it's starting to look like we could possibly have a mini meet somewhere before it gets too cold. Any performance mods nintendo5? VQ or QR?

 

Yeah most def.

My 06 just had cold air intake and exhaust but had to be traded due to transmission issues

Now I got an 02 which I'm trying to last till I graduate college next year. So no more mods, no speed demon driving just a 20 year old driving like a 80 year old ahaha

Edit: Both were 2.5S

 

I hear you. That's what it is for me, but it seems like when I have the baby in the car, everyone just drives extra crazy. More than enough times, I appreciate having the extra power, that gets me out of a dicey situation.

Oh yeah, that's exactly the way I get there. The CVT is great, especially when I throw it into manual mode, it responds pretty quick in response for my needs. My friend says that I should have just gone with the manual, but with most of the traffic I know I couldn't deal with it. lol

Yeah that's the way I would go too, rather than going all the way around or trying to cut through the city. Traffic here seems to be getting worse and worse each year. I drive a 5MT; love hate relationship here. I try to avoid stop and go as much as possible, I use side streets if possible to avoid two major roadways where traffic usually piles up.

Well I'm definitely down for a meet up, maybe D&B in Rockville, MD or somewhere in VA. Just need a few more heads in here, as people tend to flake out on occasion--it makes it harder having extra responsibilities (baby or babies).

Keep me posted about a meet. When I was a Maxima owner there was talk about one, and they had one, but I couldn't go because of work. Plus most of the guys at the meet would be young kids who were more into mods than the overall love of the car and the brand.

 

Well, just so you know, I'm an old fart around here, 37 years old, going on 38, next year in March.

 

I'm 30! Not too much difference there. lol

 

I must say this is about the most posting I have seen representing our DMV area. Anyway, if you can, please add it to your signature, so others can be aware that we exist.

 

dont mean to thread jack but you guys should come up north for our end of the year meet in nov.. theres no thread yet but we always have them in november in nj..

 

Not a bad idea, when in November? Gotta be on a weekend for me.

 

That's gonna be a no go for me, I drive too much as is and i perosnally hate driving up north (ny area)

If u guys decide to have one in Md I can drive, I got family there.

 

I'm still down for having one here in the DMV area, but who's gonna help get it together?

 

We all just need to basically PICK A SPOT. That's all it takes, somewhere with food is fine, preferably a mall to start out with. Since it isn't going to be more than 10 of us; I'm being optimistic with the two digits

 

lol Cool, hell we can meet up at Haines Point in DC

 

I'm being biased cuz im in VA but what about Dulles Town center? I see car meets there all the time.

There better be more 5 than people or I'm not gonna attend lol

 

That is why I was saying that we need more people in here, before we commit to a meet with only 2-3 people showing up.

 

Well I'm game for it!

 

Ooh ooh im in the DMV! Fairfax here

 

Another one!!!! Great, this is getting better, slowly but surely we'll have 10 folks in here and maybe 5 will show up to a meet.

Hey dubya, add this thread to your signature so we can get the word out even more. I know there are tons of folks from DC/MD/VA on this site.
