Damn sorry bout the loss. It'll definitely be missed.

 

you are a lucky man that your baby wasnt in the car...and i would be cryn soo much if i crashed a s/c'd car but anyway you will be alright and good luck with everything...

 

If he had your top of the line brake system he would have been find. On second though with all that braking power he maybe would have gotten rear ended.

 

Glad you are ok mam. max looked good too.

 

GTFO! You're making Darwin roll around in his grave. I had a BBK. I don't care how top of the line your BBK is, it wouldn't make a damn difference because BBK don't stop you from being an idiot, or putting yourself in stupid situations like I did here.

Happy to read that you are in 1 piece. Lesson learned. Much respect for handling it responsibly.

 

Hind sight is 20/20, just be glad you walked away and are gonna be there for your child. Blaming yourself won't help...you were put in a tight situation (not sure I would've reacted any differently), the max sacrificed its life for your own. Count you blessings!

 

so sorry to see that glad ur ok but u made a DEFINITE point let it go or let go of your life in some cases it doesnt pay in the end to show if u can pull ahead but glad to know ur son still has his father MAY GOD PROTECT US ALL!!

 

if you woulda had NawZZZ man you woulda been able to launch yourself right outta that tight spot yo!

lol...idiots.

 

Does anyone remember the old Knight Rider? TURBO BOOST KITT!

 

ABS might have helped a bit.

 

I sure do wish I had it. The way I braked would of been perfect if I had ABS.

 

damn dude. . .glad that your okay, it could have been worse..

 

he still has it, though now it's a rustang chassis.

 

 

man that sucks. Hard to see a nice Max go down, but glad ur ok, hopefully the evil ******* insurance compaines that we pay dozens of thousands for does something unlike what mine did with a little fender bender....


also.. it looks like ur Charger could be fine. You parting it out now? lol

 

ABS would of just kept you in a more control straight line. It wouldn't of stopped you any better, but you would of had a lot more control and prob miss the pole.

 

sorry about your lost, well i think the telephone pole had the fault it shouldnt have been there in the first place.

Maxima Totalled of the month?

 

no it wouldnt.

 

sorry to see man, at least you are okay for the most part

 

Just out of curiosity, what happened to the groceries?

 

If he locked the wheels, then yes it would have stopped him better. Most people panic when they lock the brakes and just mash the pedal and hope for the best.

 

I lost a dozen eggs. Some of the packaging for a lot of it got dented up or crushed. They still made it home though. My wife came to the scene and we moved everything but the eggs, to the blue car. The eggs went into a trash can.

Didn't say I would of stopped any better...just saying the way I braked was perfect for abs. Very firm foot on the pedal, not pumping.

S

 

Well at least all the groceries were not lost!

 

Hope you are feeling better now Sarin, I wish I had a chance to ride in it. I hope everything works out with your new plans. I wouldn't mind seeing a rosewood s/c 4th gen at one of the meets. If not you at least need to boost the 5th gen. Once I got the turbo on the car I realized it had some more power and especially having kids I always consider something going wrong if I tried something and they were in the car, so I don't do it. I also drive a box truck for work so I'm used to idiots cutting me off and trying to cut me off, you get used to it, and knowing I have the power to blast past them in the max I just let it go. Hind sight is always 20/20. It also ackward if you overtake someone and end up the first one to sit at the red light.

 

(Withholding terribly inappropriate yet hilarious question)


Psst...It never gets old..lol

 

Mostly, I'm glad Sarin is OK. Dumbass wouldn't go to the ER until I forced him to that night.

It does suck because I spent thousands of dollars and years and years working on that car. It's how I learned how to work on cars, mechanical theory, and all that.

Sarin was about the only person who really loved the car as much as I did, and thus why I decided to sell it to him. It will always have a place in my heart. More important than that - Sarin - I'm glad you're OK.

Friends > Cars.

But if I ever see you driving like an *** again though, I'm going to punch you in the face.....And your penance is what is below in my Sig from now on.....

 

lol thanks Ian. I'll be sure to return the favor.

Let the Partout begin:

http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...-part-out.html

 

Glad to see you are ok Sarin. Sorry to see the car go but glad you are still here man.

 

i am sorry for your loss...i know how you feel i got pissed at some one for doing the same thing to me and i ended up with two tickets from a **** cop and the second time the stupid little girl hit my back end and spun me out i almost hit a tree at 50 i missed by about 2 feet or lessand slid back onto the road and my car had about 900 in damage to the back driver side

 

Let's just say that we have all learned a good lesson @ Sarin's expense.
Let's hope that next time we get p1$$ed off @ someone, we'll remeber his loss and chill.

 

man that must hurt.... at least you are ok. like you said, could have been worse and i guess i shall let people cut me off from now on.....

 

Man that's horrible, but at least you're ok...this definately will make me think about it the next time someone tries to cut me off.

 

That is horrible, sorry to hear it.

 

Well there is some positives from this. One, I get to mod my 5th gen from stock out. I've always love doing this...build a car from the ground up. Granted this one will not be nearly as extensive...or as powerful, I still get to have an ongoing project. Two, the S/C gets passed on to another local ethusiast. Which means I still get to work on a boosted car, and it won't cost me a single dime!

 

I ALWAYS ADMIRED THAT CAR...

 

Sorry to hear about that. At least you have a backup vehicle.

 

man road rage is just not worth it and road rage is costly
