This is what happens....!!!!


As of today still in the shop with parts on backorder. The autobody shop said its repairable but that is not all of the news. I just got laid off. Ok what else can go wrong.

More sadness...

 

i definately hope ur wife is alrite... your car should be totalled.. i was told that if the B pillar is damaged then the insurance has to total the car or something of that sort.. even if you do repair it i wouldn't recomend keeping it.

 

wow. im assuming the missus is doing ok. how did that happen? whose fault?

 

That sucks. My sympathies to you and your wife - but more importantly, your car...

 

What's a B pillar?

 

holy mother of god!!!

 

what did she do?

 

B Pillar is the pillar between the front and rear doors. The front doors shut against it, and the rear doors are hinged on it. On a coupe the B pillar is in the same place (right behind the front doors), except that there are no rear doors.

Hope your wife's okay, guchi.

 

Hope everyone is O.K.

Any details you want to share??

 

hope your wife is ok... Regrets on the car and your JOB. but look on the bright side tommorrow is another day. Maybe the Maxima God will smile upon you and grant u a new car... . It could happen...

 

I am just going to anwser your question "what else could go wrong"..that is a simple answer, you wife could have been seriously hurt/killed. A car can be replaced..I think sometimes people lose sight of priorities (not saying you did guchi)

 

It look like it's not your wifes fault, unless she ran a stop sign or red light. Oviously someone sideswiped her!

 

...Dude, is your wife ok? That is what is important... This is why we have insurance. No insurance can replace your loved ones... I would take a sledgehammer to my car for a full 8 hours before I would allow a scratch on my wife...

 

not just when our spouse drives........it could be any car too. if some idiot runs a red light...it wouldn't matter. be thankful your wife is o.k., she is o.k. right? waking up the next morning, priceless.......

 

Everyone gets laid off... The economy is not doing any better. Ever since Bush became the president, the economy is declining and now, he is taking more vacations and declaring wars with Iraq, who is not even bothering anyone just yet...

 

...Uh, where are the off-topic popos when you need them???

 

ever since bush beame a president? nevermind.. let's not get into to this issue....

 

Sorry to hear about the car...what exactly happened?

 

i agree with the other guys about the wifey subject. i hope she is ok

 

Hope your wife and everyone is doing alright! Hang in there...you can find a new job and replace the car...but you cannot substitute a life.

 

She's ok, no physical bodily harm. Just a few tense muscles. {Thank God}

The situation as she explained it to me...she was pulling out from her work place parking lot, a van parked right next to her blocked her view of the road {25mph street}, so she inched forward and determined the street clear. As she pulled out, a early model 4 door toyota slammed into her. Now, no way in h3ll, the other vehicle was driving 25mph to do this type of damage. But, no matter it was her fault since she entered oncoming traffic.

I'm blessed she didn't get physically hurt or worse. At least one silver lining in the clouds.

 

Now don't go blaming the economy on Bush. Obviously the only reason the economy was so good when Slick ***** was in office is because all the corporations were following his immoral examples and screwing with the books. Now those executives are all going to jail which is where Clinton should be going. The main reason the economy is the way it is now is because of 9/11 and the ongoing conflict.

and since Iraq very possibly has nuclear weapons aimed at us right now I would say they are bothering us.

....anyway I think this thread can officially be moved to OT now!

 

That looks like a 25mph crash or less. Have you seen the front quarter crash tests? The whole car's front end is smashed, and yours is just crushed in; plus it's from the side. Anyways, I hope your car is in good condition after all is done.

 

Oh and sorry about the spouse I hope the accident did not cause her much phyical/emotional harm
And as said once before, Cars can be replaced, but someone you love can never be.

 

this is what happens when wife drives also......

 

That is freaking disgusting. I suggest you take that picture off.

 

Tim, please check the other forum. Thanks.

 

I did some checking, that pic was not supposed to be there. its not really Maxima06071's fault. He linked a Norman Rockwell photoshop off of somethingawful.com

somethingawful.com is like fark or any of those other satircal humor sites, its not a **** site. *BUT* in order to make people stop linking to their site (as they do have some funny pictures), the image is redirected to the nastiest **** ever. As you can see it works.

Apologies to all that had to have that image burned into their memory. thanks for getting it reported quickly.

Maxima06071, I wont push for your ban.. Please be careful with that, you owe some people an apology as well, it was pretty gross..

 

Sorry man,
I didn't think it would ruffle so many feathers.
You all have my deep apologies.
I'm sorry.

 

My GOD what Did I post?
I linked it to a picture of Pres Bush scooping Ice cream!
I just posted and went off to work.
Oh I am soooo sorry, I really didn't mean to offend anyone.
Very very sorry,
Jeff Catt

 

You wouldn't want to know what it was a picture of.

If you do, try posting that link again and click "Preview Post"

Don't submit the post though.

 

I always preview my post!
When I previewed it, it just showed happy little George W scooping ice cream; NOT what apparently came up....
I am so shamed, I have dishonored the Maxima community.
I will probably not be posting anything for a while.
Goodbye,
Jeff" stupid idiot fool moron" Catt
P.S It was fun while it lasted.

 

no no.. heh, yes embarrasing.. Seriously it wasnt your fault. Luckily, I remembered seeing someone who got banned on fark.com for that very same thing... In fact I think that's mostly why SA started that, to rib the fark.com posters.

Really, it was an honest mistake. lesson learned.. it's really ok.

 

I would title this thread to "Glad my wife is ok!"

car can be fixed or replaced, but certain injury can be permanent.

 

I would not be surprised if the car that hit yours was only doing 25 mph. 25 mph is pretty fast when you think about it. And it hit near the middle of your car, and cars don't like to slide sideways, so the energy was mostly absorbed by the door. I'm so glad your wife was okay!!!!

Hey guchi, glad to hear that the wife is okay. BTW, where in Hawaii are you from? I've had a few close calls this summer too, one in Pearl City and the other by Market City. Some people just don't know how to drive here. Not at all implying that it was your wifes fault, but just a generalization. I mean, there are a few blind places that I've encountered where it's hard to tell when cars are coming.

If you're interested, check out www.maximage.org. That's all of the Hawaii Maxima Enthusiasts from Maui to the Big Island. Take care.

 

Perhaps you should be a little thankful for all that pushed-in sheetmetal. Any energy dissipated doing that was kept from slamming your wife around inside the passenger compartment any more than she was. Glad to hear she's OK, though she can expect to be a little stiff & sore for a few days.

If the van was the least bit illegally parked you probably have a case of partial responsibility (or something like that) against its operator (for causing an unsafe condition to exist). And although the Toyota's speed at impact was probably under 25 mph, its speed on approach almost certainly was not. Unless Toyota driver never touched the brakes. Get photos of the accident site.

On the other subtopic, layoffs happen. I'm in the same situation right now, and yesterday I ran into a guy I worked with a dozen years or so ago and found out that he's in the same boat. My suggestion here is to avoid tying your self-image too closely to your job if you work for somebody else. (It must be cosmic coincidence that Todd Rundgren's "Bang The Drum" is playing on the radio as I'm typing this, it goes something like this: "I don't wanna work, Wanna bang on the drum all day . . .", and I can't help grinning)

That is pretty much what my car looked like with the damage being primarily to the right rear door. I too thought (hoped) it would be totalled, but they said it was worse than it looked. Over $6,000.00 later, you cant tell. Take it to a quality shop though.

 

darn i didn't see no pix.

 

Believe me...you do not want to know about the goatse.


Nobody does. You won't be able to look at human beings the same way again.
