Totaled my 2002
I was coming home from school on the 3rd and I was broadsided (my fault) by an old lady in a Oldsmobile tank, hit me dead center on my side. there is over $15,000.00 in damage so the insurance agent totaled it. 
I was really looking forward to modding but I only got as far as a stereo, Injen CAI, and AE door sills. Maybe I'll get another one, maybe I'll go all out and get the 350Z. Thanks for all the info everyone! Maybe I'll post some pictures of the carnage if I find a digital camera. I hope I don't cross over to "the dark side" and get a Civic!

Sorry to hear that, but from the way you drive, I would suggest you get some slower cars like Civic!

Re: Re: Totaled my 2002
AE sills on the whole drivers side of the car are probably fused in one huge mass of crap. I used to have two seats up front now it's just one and a half seats. Injen intake is in the above condition, I may have some guys at work that want to buy it... I'm not familiar with this but what's the story with all the stereo equipment in the car? I have an extensive stereo in there now, do I have to replace all the factory stuff? Or can I just take out my stereo and put the original stereo in the car somewhere? The car isn't paid off, I'm still waiting to hear what they are going to give me for it. My dad says I need to get my audio guys to go to the body shop take out my stuff and reinstall the factory stuff, does that sound right?? And as for my driving limsandy, I've taken the same way home since High School it was just one of those freak accidents...

I smashed my '99 max more than a year ago with full audio system and I was able to remove everything and replace it with stock. Even other mods I was able to take off. Dont give the insurance company anything aftermarket, well thats unless you dont have the stock part to replace it with.

Sorry to hear about your Max, but glad that you're ok.
I'll tell ya one thing, old geezers, semis, and minivan drivers can't drive for squat (minivan drivers are just slow, period, no offense).
Good luck on whatever you get & keep us updated

I know how that feels man..
I had my 2k2 for only 7 months... and then look
www.pbase.com/minirx7/2k2_accident
But now i bought 2k3... Nothing out there on the market that appealed to me..
UNTIL NOW:
2k4 maxima is so sweet, if you can afford it, go for it.
If not, give the Acura TSX a consideration.
I got my 2k3 because they got me sweet deals on it.

I've been looking at a 2002,3,4 Maxima, an Infinity G35 Coupe, and a 350Z... those are the strongest contenders. also looking at the new Mazda RX-8, Toyota MR2 Spyder, Audi TT, Honda S2000. Anyone hear anything about the Cadillac XLR?
Anyway back on topic, so what's up with this stereo install people?? Do I have pay the guy to reinstall the factory stereo so that it works? Or can I get by with just putting it in the car? I'll have to get some pictures so we can compare. Did your car catch on fire?? I was pretty lucky, I wasn't even wearing my seatbelt (stupid I know) I just hit my head on something everything seems noRmaL
so far....

Thats quite a wide selection u got there, I say g35 6spd coupe if u got enough $ layin around. I peronally think the 04 max is ugly, 02-3 is good. The Z is nice but Id want a 4seater thats why I say the G35 coupe.

As far as the stereo, you should be able to remove it and not put the factory back in. If you tell the ins company you want to keep the stereo, they will probably remove a couple hundred bux from their portion. Of course, you can always go to the junk yard and remove it yourself and simply stick the factory HU back in there. Nobody will really care....
