[AltimateCarDriver]

When I first got my Altima about three months ago, it felt so good being one of the few in town. I felt special when I saw the tons of Camry, Accords, Taurus and even 2nd gen Altimas. Now it's starting to change....Today, in a span of 5min I saw 6 '02 Altys -3Silvers and 1 each of Black, Seascape and Pewter. I knew this day would come, but didn't expect it to be so soon...
Well, if my car is going to be 'just another one of them', it's good knowing that it's just another Altima, the best-looking non-luxury sedan around......

Buy rims, get body kit, side markers, take emblems off, problem solved.

Thats what I was thinking.... Everywhere I look I see Sheer Silver...
Time to do some mods and look different. Hopefully my wife won't notice them.....

guess I'm still lucky ... I still have ppl coming up to me and asking me about my car ... a lady with a 99 accord wanted to know what it was, and a guy with a 97 altima asked .... "is THAT an Altima???" I've not seen more than 5 different ones on the road here ... I'm STILL special

I know how you feel,I got my 02 Alty back in early October when nobody had them. Now I at least see about 8 others a day and they are all driven by women, very few guys.(what's up with that?) Am I driving a chick car? However I do get a smile on my face when I pull up to a BMW 325 and the driver can't stop staring!

Originally intended for JRC (He has Silver too)

I knew that the 2002 Altima was going to be an EXTREMELY popular car - but listen to this - I'm driving on 95/495/270 ( approx 25 minutes on the highway) - interconnected highways here in MD - heading towards the Shady Grove area. On the highway - I saw a total of 5 Altimas - two 3.5SE, three 2.5S models. But can you believe one thing - THEY WERE ALL SILVER. I didn't even see Ruby, White, Opal Blue, or Black. Damn - maybe I should have gotten the Ruby - I have only seen that color ONCE... I'm still in shock - its like an infestation - but then again I saw two BMW 330 series models driving beside one another and they were both Silver.

I've realized that at one point in time - the Champagne color was the color to get - now it is Silver for newer cars - car manufacturers will soon find some new flashy color that everyone wants.

ALTIMAS WILL BECOME POPULAR LIKE ACCORDS (a dime a dozen) - then there won't be anymore GOOD choices for me to stand out... Damn Nissan! Hmmm 350Z is looking REALLY good right now. Time for me to get different rims & a tint - WISH I COULD GET A PAINT JOB - same blue color as the new Z will be available in.

PS JRC - CLEAR YOUR PM BOX!!!

yea i seem alot of 02 atlima around, but maybe very few of them are 3.5, im going to be one of them lucky me

In the Twin Cities we're starting to see more and more Altimas.

At least you're not driving a Explorer or Dodge mini van. In the parking lot where I work you see at least 20 Explorers and 30+ Caravans. Even the Volo XC has a stronger presence with between 5 - 7 on any given day.

only 2 other Altimas and both have the 2.5

I still only see 1 Audi S4...

 

[ThaiBruin]

can you believe, in LA where people are whores for cars (I see NOTHING but BMW 3 series, 75% of which are silver), I've only seen a total of 2 other silver Altimas?

There are a bunch of Altimas in the Atlanta area- I saw a sea scape 3.5 on dubs yesterday, all i could say was whoa. Anyway most of the altimas around here are owned by older folks w/ 2.5's (no spoiler, no sunroof etc.) so they look more "sedanish" than sporty like mine- so I still feel special.
