You're right; I have checked the stats.  He may have meant that it
has a "large" engine compared with my beloved little 4-cyl Corolla
(RIP)

Whatever...I'm stuck with it now; still have a lot to pay off, and
who's going to buy a 99 luxury V6 in these times!

I wish I could find one of those little street-legal gizmos that
the parking cops ride around in!  I would use it for around town
and use the Maxima for freeway.

Anybody got a clue where they can be bought?
