Car

Ever since my former supervisor let me drive her Maxima, I have been dead set on buying one. I say it’s a sports car with 4 doors. Being a Nissan fan, my Nissan garage would be a Maxima, Murano & Z (350-Z).

I was looking and test driving for around 6 months until one day an eBay auction caught my eye. Maxima for $3000?? Naturally, added it to my watch list and bought it soon after the price went to $7600. Everyday she brings a smile to my face.
