Maxima saved my life!
Well org members I was headed to work this morning and a Chevy S10 hits me after side swiping the car in front of me. I am doing OK I have 2 broken bones in my lower back, seat belt rash, and very very sore. I will be looking for a new Max soon!

My family thanks you Nissan for making a safe car.

Man, glad to see you're okay...well alive is more like it! Broken bones in your back is not such good news. Hopefully you'll recover alright. Is that the S10 that hit you beside the car?

Glad to hear you weren't too seriously hurt and that our cars can take a hard hit like that if they have to.

Glad to hear you are somewhat ok. Good luck with the recovery and have fun with the new car shopping. Make sure you get some additional compensation from their insurance company for the pain and hassle, and to help you upgrade your new ride

Wow. Just... wow. Thank god you made it out alive.

Of course you loved your Maxima, but now you've got an opportunity! I keep telling my wife all those test-drives are to prep for the situation where you have to replace your car after it gets trashed.

Good luck, man.

Dibs on your battery.


J/K, glad you are still ticking. Don't settle with the insurance company. Get a lawyer and get some serious money for your injuries, no kidding.

Yup, that S-10 is completely demolished too. Almost looks like the same color as your car.

Glad your okay man, for a minute I thought you were the guy I saw last night at about 10 o'clock... He went head on into a speeding Cavalier, The Maxima driver walked away clean Cavalier + Drinking = Stretcher....get well soon dude...

Sidenote: Do Maximas attract Chevys or something, I was sideswiped by an 89 Camaro come to find out 3 months after the fact...
