Default Is this a Maxima in disguise?

Guys,

Was in LA this past weekend and came across this



Sorry the quality sucks, it was taken with my camera phone.

Skyline?? SE-R?? WTF? Did I miss something??

i think the funny part is that it is both SE and SE-R emblems on it, and the fact that the owner even put the skyline badge on it too, ppl just don't know what they r doing with their cars.

To be honest, that's not a bad car. My aunt has an 03 and it's a blast to drive. It's pretty nice considering the money for it. Nice luxury features for a basic car.

This... is disgraceful. That's almost as bad as that yellow & green ES300 that I'm sure most of us have seen
