@RegularCars please do a review on the 2017-2019 Fusion Sport, they are pretty badass unknown sleepers (the equivalent of a baby Taurus SHO) they are AWD twin turbo V6 from the factory and make 325hp and 380ftlbs stock with a 6 speed auto and electronic dampening suspension they are pretty loaded for the price. The suspension literally firms up in Sport mode electronically and the handle capabilities basically double, less body roll, less front end nose dive under hard braking, and at high speeds on a bumpy road it makes the car alot more controllable! Just trying to get one of my favorite overlooked cars out there so they can be appreciated. The reason I'd say they are pretty unknown is they only made them for 3 years and made less than 28,000 of them all together even though they were faster than the Taurus SHO they were kind of over looked I'd say cause the SHO was produced twice as long as had 40 more HP, but here is the kicker though the Fusion makes 40ftlbs more torque!

My Altima accident experience was a couple years back when a woman in one rear ended me, she hit me hard enough she was not able to flee in the car. She had to opt for the flee on foot route. She successfully dodged a truck only a few steps later to run directly into the path of a guy on a bicycle. This new accident she caused ended up breaking her leg and one of his arms. And I kid you not when the first officer arrived his first words to her were " YOU AGAIN?! "

When you said “You drive a Nissan Altima, MORGAN” I choked because my friend Morgan drives an Altima 😭 one time I got in her car and her cupholders were filled to the brim with orange Gatorade. When she saw how confused I was, she just said “I don’t know how to get it out of there” Owning a Versa is a similar experience but worse. At 12k a pop, my dad kept buying them for the family. It feels like driving in a small Rubbermaid tub. My first one got totaled (not my fault), and my second one, like the harbinger of bad luck cheap Nissans are, had a tree fall on it four days after I got it. I determined I do not have Big Altima Energy, and as such, gave mine to my sibling in lieu of a 1989 Volvo 240, a sweet bastion of safety and predictability. Miraculously, both my sibling and mom’s Versas haven’t had the CVTs fall out of them yet. Knock on wood.

My father in law has a 2018 Altima and he got honked at exactly 6 times while we followed his car on an 11 hour drive to North Carolina. One of those moments forced an oncoming driver onto his brakes and his horn as this man took a left turn into 5 lane traffic while looking strictly right and slamming on the accelerator. I’ve joked on his hilariously unsafe driving for years, and seeing all of these big Altima energy memes come out of the woodwork has brought me so much joy

[@eggbiscuit5890]

Literally just four days after this video went up a Nissan Altima going twice the speed limit, with a driver who was on their phone, would rear end me totaling both cars. Gotta love it.

Altima Story: My mother owned a 3rd gen Altima. Considering that it was her first new car (the last car was a Ford Taurus with a broken transmission that couldn't go in reverse), she thought that she bought a car that could last me and anything else that was thrown at our family. Well, that didn't work out, as when she was at the OB/GYN while pregnant with my little brother, it caught on fire. After the fire department put the heap of poo out and the insurance wrote it off, she took the insurance money and went out and bought an Accord.

We have a 2013 Altima. The headlights are wear items. The interior coating on the projectors only lasts five years before it burns off and the headlights stop projecting light. We replaced them with OEM for several hundred a side but most owners either drive on the fog lights (that are nearly useless) or the high beams (blinding everyone).

[@coloradorc]

I want to tell you about this spray painted Altima. It was spray painted matte black and it had a MASSIVE spoiler on it. It also had a baby on board sticker. This Altima also had a massive off road bumper on the front. I'm pretty sure I also had 3 alloy wheels and one steel wheel. It had a 2 foot long metal rod poorly mig welded as a shift knob. It had a guage cluster from a different car just poorly shoved on the dashboard. It had a big metal knob attached to the steering wheel. It had a 5 point racing seatbelt that was only attached to the headrest. All the dashboard controls were removed and were sitting on the passenger seat with extended wires attached to them. It had a propane tank for a BBQ grill sitting in the back seat with a hose connecting it to the engine for "more power". All the electronics on the center console were just ripped out and were laying on the back seat next to the propane tank.

The only thing worse than buying a new Altima is getting an older ultra-base model rented to you via Payless car rentals (the car rental company that rents you a vision of living in a studio apartment while your divorce remains pending), complete with a discovery of fake eyelashes at the bottom of the cup holder. And yes, that is a true story.

Being cut off by them. Hearing failing CVTs. Having a coworker who drives one. The bumper is partially detached, the paint is in absolutely horrible shape, and if I remember correctly, it's the left turn signal that's out. Almost every Altima in this area has at minimum one dent, or massive paint damage. BIG. ALTIMA. ENERGY.
