I was talking to my wife the other day about how amazed I am at the number of miles you've traveled according to your log. She then suprised me with a factoid of her own. In 8 months of owning our Maxima, we've put over 20,000 miles on it. Remember that the furthest we drive on a daily basis is a bit over 10 miles, but we've let others borrow it for maybe 5,000 of those miles. I guess there's just something about driving a car designed to ride like a Buick but take off and sound like a race car.
Of course, the sound may have to do with the large glass pack that replaced the OEM muffler when the rust monster got a bit frisky. It sounds great at moderate throttle but barely rumbles at cruise, and isn't alll that loud either. That and it's not one of those silly mufflers that are made to sound like a high revving engine, but rather like the sound of a low revving v-8.
