Tabarnaque!

He must have really rolled it. Note in pic 5 that the driver air bag is not blown and it does not look like the passengers is either. (it's all controled off one controler, right?)

I put a few bucks saying that VQ still runs like a pup! (and I think Don would like it to experiment on it!)

here's what i think happened...

driver was driving down an open road and saw a cat on the road, started to swirve, ran over a family of slugs and the front wheels slipped, car went off the road and side impacted a grazing cow and rolled into the watering hole.

or,

a ****ed off GIANT buffalo came over and did his business in the car.

i think thats flood damage

or maybe this guy was sitting at a stoplight behind a semi truck carrying manure when he is rear ended by another semi and pushed into the manure truck in which case the manure trucks rear doors break open and dump manure (pun?) all over the outside and inside of the max...the outside has just been cleaned up

but look at the bright side...the passengers side front hubcap looks ok

Re: Re: EXPLAIN THIS ONE!!!!

Is Nissan trying to make some sort of Maxima pickup truck?

Nice crumple zone though.

These pix make me feel pretty good. The cabins survived really well from what seems to have been catastrophic collisions.

Ya, i was just about to say that... I frequent copartfinder.com to look at cars... and the Max looks really safe... I could SO see how this person could have survived what was apparently a really bad accident.. (the passenger compartment looks intact)


Heh, looking at the first pic, I couldn't tell it was a max by the exterior... only by the engine... ->(perhaps a semi ran over him.... REPEATEDLY, before he was stampeded by a hoarde of rabid elephants, and pushed down a steep bank into a swamp full of PO'd locusts?)

Looking at pictures of civics, however, is a totally different story... you could tell that a good portion of those drivers could NOT have possibly survived..

Drive safely,
Tom z.

Clear Tails?

This gives you a good idea of what the clear tails might look like.

Yes it does. I had the displeasure of putting a 205/65R15 in there this winter. That tire is taller than 225/50R17.

umm...the 1 time i had to change my flat the stock 17" tires do fit into the hole, but since it is so much wider than the spare, it sticks out quite a bit higher than the spare tire normally would...it probably sits up 2" or so higher than the hole
