R.I.P. 2001 GLE :(
I was on the way to work today, driving my girlfriend's 2001 GLE (she took my '97 GLE to get detailed by her job). A 2006 Ford F150 Crew Cab pulled out in front of me and...well, it was too late to stop. The first 5 pics are below; if you'd like to see the rest, click on the links below... R.I.P. 5th gen Maxi-pad - you were beautiful and you will be missed.

That looks like a HARD impact to cause so much damage, lucky you're ok(at least I hope you are).

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yeah, I'm OK - I was going 50-55 MPH and t-boned the truck head-on. I'm absolutely amazed how well the car took the damage. From the inside, you couldn't even tell the car was involved in an accident. Maximas are great cars, no doubt about it.

Hahaha, yeah... She's not a big 4th gen fan, anyway. Not only that, but she's not too into modded cars.

The F150 was pretty banged up. It was the extended cab without the 4 doors. I hit it almost directly in the middle of the passenger side, so the door and the quarter panel were molded inward in the shape of a 2001 Maxima front end. I'm pretty sure there was some frame damage. It WAS a pretty nice pickup - not anymore.

Ouch, glad you lived through it. Look at the bright side, if it's totaled, maybe it will join a pick and pull, then it will help many other 5th gens live on!
