I was watching the Suns game last night. About 10 minutes after it ended there was a knock at the door, my buddy opens the door and there is this guy, obviously stoned. He stares at us, says oops sorry wrong house.

I hear a car starting, a loud bang, my car alarm and there I was. The guy had pulled into our driveway and since my roommate had friends over I had to park opposite my driveway and the guy backed right into my car. Of course by the time I went outside he already went around the corner so I couldn't see his car... just lovely

 

Oh my gosh dude, your luck is awsome. lol

 

Ouch! Man, I love your car, esp. w/ the 19" Rays. Thats so damn retarded. I absolutely hate it when people don't take responsibility for their mistakes. That's life I guess.

 

Is that custom?







j/k, hope you get it fixed soon. At least it's limited to one panel.

 

rims loooks sick bro sorry about your door

 

At least the paint isn't scratched. you could pop that right out, good as new...

 

shoulda waited for the lakers games wouldnt have been an issue then sorry to see it bro. that is a beautiful car, hope it comes out alright

 

that isnt cool, hey rare mod though

 

reason #2,373 of why my Infiniti stays in the garage!

sorry about your car bud. im assuming you have insurance?

 

That sucks, but seriously, those G rims look mint on your i35! I love it! (white rules as well)

 

That's when jump in the car, fly down the street, catch their asses, a beating ensues, then you call the cops. And tell the cops they were bloody when you found them

 

aww man, sorry to hear, i know how you feel man... just get a new door... i know that hurts bad

 

They should be able to buff that out.

 

Damn that sucks, F"ing high/drunk creep. You can't have nothing now a days....... Man make sure you find a good place to match that paint since your car is Pearl White! Or try Car-part.com as they may have a door in your color someplace for sale.

 

put a band-aid on it!

 

Nope, liability only. I'm a good driver haha. I'm only 22 so geico quoted me $1600 for full coverage / six months


yeah I figured getting a white one that's in decent condition and doing some touch up work is WAY cheaper than prepping and spraying that stupid tri-coat.

Haha they didn't have one big enough, so I debated just dynomatting the entire outside of it. Shiny shiny hahaha

 

1600....those insurance companies are for high risk drivers that can't get it anywhere else.

Mine was 600 for 6 months full coverage in my early 20s...

 

oh wow...thats horrible-gl getting it straightened out..

actually the might buff out

 

Nice rims bad luck same thing happen to my driver side fender on my block came back out white paint across the whole shi* some fool made a close u turn and banged it the paint came of with so remover but fender still dented

 

If you find him and wanna go halvsies on my plane ticket from OH, I'll gladly come help him "remember" what happened that night and make things rightLOL

 

Yeowch!

Well it appears the damage is limited to the door so that hopefully (fingers crossed) that's all that needs fixing...

PS....hopefully lol

 

you said he was looking for a house in your neighborhood............. look for that azzes car with the big scratch on it!!!!

 

McSteve, you have my sympathy, and a healthy dose of respect for the way you're handling this misfortune with humor. If it were me, I'd be in a deep depression for weeks. It's not just a car, it's your hobby and it's personal.

Best of luck to you on the repairs.

 

I would be livid.

 

Terrible luck, it's too bad some people are dishonest.

no biggy

 

Man, you're taking this incredably well. I'd be sick for a week. Even looking @ the pic is disheartening.

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

I bought a door from a junkyard and man does the color mismatch!!!!
Maybe I'll take my old one to be straightened out and touched up.

After fixing i also noticed a couple issues on the inside. It seems from 2001 to 2002 they changed a couple connectors at the window regulator harness. I can't open and close my passenger window and can't lock the car using the lock button. The buttons also don't illuminate.

 

Sorry to see that happen to you man.I hope you get everything straightened out.Atleast the Suns are up big in the series.

 

Wow, that was fast!

Your Infiniti is pearl white, right? That color tends to deepen and darken over time, looking more shell-like over the years. It looks like your junkyard door was sitting on the shelf or out of the sun for a long time... very white, closer to the original color.

I had a 99 Maxima in pearl white, and had a similar mismatch after painting the rear bumper. It's a really difficult color to match.

 

Of course they are different. 01 Doesn't have auto up and down window for driver and passanger side.

 

Mine has it on both sides for both driver and passenger sides.

 

You mean to say that your passanger side windows button, If you press it one time down it rolls down automatic and you don't have to hold it down. I don't think so buddy.

 

I press it one time down and let go... it rolls all the way down.

I press it one time up and let go... it rolls all the way up.

I can do it from the passenger seat or the driver seat. I can take a pic if you want. Or better yet a video.

 

Yeah I would like to see it. Because my friend has I30 and it doesn't do that.

 

I can do it from the driver's door also.

 

Damn.. You are right. I wonder why would they left it out on his car. Of course it is not fully loaded. Was that an option or something??

 

I have no idea, but mine is far from fully loaded. It's not even an i30-t. Every other 00-01 i30 i've been in had auto up and down on both sides too.

 

maybe your friend has maxima doors on it? I mean they are the same doors. It even says AUTO on the buttons....

also the new door had body color door handles, mine had chrome, so maybe those were all options.

 

Wow I am truely sorry for your misfortune. I love your car though. I only looked at the picture breifly but if I am not mistaken you have a I35. A good looking one at that. I just got an I35 and anyone who has one I would deffinatly appreciate some advice on making my car "awesome".
