Not 'maxing out' - just the intr.v. 'maxing', as in:
"Every moment fronting and maxing,
chilling in the car they spent all day waxing;
Leanin to the side but you can't spead through,
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you."
- Summertime
So what exactly does it mean Ebonics experts?

Found through Max's reference page:

Perhaps, one day, it might mean "finding through Max's reference page".

chilling in the car they spent all day waxing;
This might be a reference to waxing one's surf board, were this a Californian ode.
Or it might be a reference to waxing eloquent, but one doubts it.
Or it might be a reference to applying and removing bikini wax, but surely this is not done in the car.

> According to this glossary, it means "having great fun"
That's kinda what I figured, though I'm thinking in means to enjoy oneself in a relaxed way - kicking back "maxin'" rather than "buggin' out".
