Flipped the max wednesday night

Wear your seatbelts! We pretty much walked away from it. No injuries or even a scratch really. These cars must be built pretty well.

And for the question that has yet to be answered.......... How did this mishap happen? Inattention? an animal? DWI? Some other a-hole cross into your lane? speeding? etc? We all want to learn from this! Glad you're still to talk about it though.

Yeah, dido on the second part of your statement. It seems like for alot of people, that all they care about is how they may benefit from someone elses misfortune. The poor guy could be in the hospital hanging for his life, ( fortunately he's not ), and some people in their replys ask first if they can have something off your car BEFORE asking if you're okay..... Cold............

I'm not being a jerk or anything, it was just a question. Also if hes posting on the board hes probaly okay. It was only a question. He had a pretty nice max.

Wow.... glad you are ok. How'd it happen? Seems like you were in the air when it flipped, the roof of the car is spotless. Glad to see you are still with us.

Almost looks like someone rear-ended you hard causing you to lose control. Just a guess. Back end of the car is smashing in quite a bit.

That's some wreck. Glad you're OK.

And as for the parting out... I don't think it's that cold to ask... the car is obviously totalled... why not help him make a few bucks off of an otherwise useless car. What else can he possibly do with it other than part it out.

It hurts to see a maxima looking like that. Seeing something, that someone has put so much time and attention into, totalled in an instant is painful. I feel for you. (BTW, my first concern is always for the person, but since we know your ok I felt it safe to show my pain for your ride.) ~jeff

bump to hear what happened that caused this. By the way, did you do a 5 speed conversion? In the video, it sounds like your driving an automatic.

I agree with you, some of the comments are pretty weird, and are more centric to the vehicle. But that's the internet I guess.

Glad this person and passenger(s) were ok, I can't imagine end-over-end.

A friend of mine flipped his integra last summer too. He was able to walk away with just a bump on his head. The passenger had some glass stuck in the top of his head from the sunroof i think. In both cases it is amazing that the occupants walked away.

The thing to do now is(if you still have you licence) to force yourself to get behind the wheel again. My friend was afraid to touch a car after his wreck. He drives a lot more cautiously now, no more 80 mph down hill runs. *rolls eyes* He probably wouldn'd be driving now if his family forced him the get back behind the wheel.

Any ideas on what you're going to get with your insurance money? another max?

add my sympathies to the rest, and your blessed to have been able to walk away from that. That looks like some scary **** indeed, man I would have gotten out the car and been shaking like

based on the pics is looks very wet out (or is that when you went back to take photos?) and I'm guessing you lost control, tried to get back control and ended up flipping?

Keep your spirits up, you still alive to talk about it, and enjoy the good things in life.
