Damn drunk ran up over a curb to run a red light and hit my car. Lucky I got stopped enough he hit the front fender instead of the passenger door where my son was sitting.







The drunk



His truck

 

 

Drunk getting arrested:

 

Yeah, that is a total. Wow, you were very lucky to get hit by an F250 4x4 that sits that high and not get nailed inside. Glad you and your son were OK.

Just replacing the airbags and related modules is about $2200 in parts alone, and one Xenon headlight is what, about $1000?

 

HOLY ****! When you see that a big *** truck gets ****ed up too you know it's bad.

**** the car, thank god you and your son are okay.

 

Wow sorry to hear that about the car, glad he got caught I have no remorse for drunken idiots who decide to drive, my buddy got killed in front of me by a guy who ran a light, and we were both just leaving work. I have never done it before and when he died in my arms and had to tell his parents I swore I would never do it at all. Glad to hear you and your little guy are okay

 

Damn.

Glad you two are alright. Things could've been a lot worse...especially with a big truck like that.

Sorry to hear about the car, too. I can tell by the things you posted around the forum that you took good care of her.

In hindsight, though, at least it's the car and not you and your son. How many times have you seen drunk drivers take out a car full of people, and walk away without a scratch on themselves?

How are you, yourself, feeling? Did y'all make a trip to the ER just incase?

 

He's 23

Sorry about your friend, that had to be rough.

 

My son's neck is sore, knee is bruised up. I am fine so far, but it was damn hard hit.

 

Wow thats really bad! Cant believe the maxima took the damage that well. Hope yourr okay

 

On the positive side, your passenger's side front wheel might be Hellaflush approved now.



Someone had to say it.

 

that won't buff out

nah glad you guys are ok. maximas are good at taking hits and saving the people inside

 

Makes me want to get another one, at least I know it can take a hit.

 

Sorry to hear about your car Scott. Good to hear you're ok.

Fukcing drunk driving Republic Services employees.. That guy needs to burn in hell..

 

Oh yeah, the airbags stink when they go off, nasty burnt odor. But...at least they want off and kept both of us from possibly face planting on the dash. Seatbelts locked up tight too.

 

Glad to see your alright. Looks like it held up pretty good considering what you got hit by. Seems like lots of 5th gens are going down lately.

 

Damn, another clean max down. How are we going to prove how long they last if these dip ****s in POS vehicles keep totaling them? >

 

Driving is one of the most risky things we do as human beings.

Even if you, yourself are a good, responsible driver, it doesn't stop other people from being total morons.

If I could go out on a limb, I'd dare to say that about 60% of the U.S. population probably isn't fit to operate a motor vehicle.

 

Glad to hear you and your son are ok. Your car looked so nice too. If you need to detail a Max while you're waiting to replace that one, mine is a short drive south. Too soon?

 

I think you're being very conservative.

 

damn man, sorry for your loss but thankfully you and your son are okay
sucks seeing a beautiful car having to be put away like this

 

I was trying to be nice.

 

Oh man, sorry to hear about your accident. You really put a lot of work into your Max too. Glad to hear you and your son are ok though. Have you started talking to your insurance company yet?

Lost my Max today too, but for a different reason.

 

Wow i can't believe this. Your max was soo clean too. Glad you and your son are ok.

 

The charges that set off the airbags are basically shotgun shells.
That smell is the same smell you get at a shooting range.

The seatbelt tensioners also need to be replaced after the airbags deploy, I think they are only good for one use.

 

Damn thats some damage...glad to hear that you and your son are ok...

Did your A pillar or roof buckle at all?

To hell with that drunk...hope your insurance company takes him for as much as possible...

 

Thankfully you guys are okay, the car can always be replaced, she looked so clean too

 

Roof didn't buckled and neither did the A pillar (subject to closer inspection when it is morning), passenger front door is a bit wavey though.

 

I'm so sorry to see that happen to your car. You should enjoy every cent of that drunk's money when you buy a new car. And it is awesome no body got hurt, but you should claim a few neck injuries because we all know money cures everything.

I am surprised at resilient our Maxima's are, when I saw that truck and how damaged it was and how your fenders are; it makes me feel that much safer to drive my Maxima too.

 

If there is one thing that everyone on here overlooks about our cars and totally takes for granted, it's how damn safe they are.

Your car got hit by and F-250 and from the looks of it, took the impact like a champ. It's definitely totaled but with the way it held up, hell, I'm willing to bet it still runs and idles just fine.

The fact that you walked away from an accident like this is really incredible. Like someone else said, it almost always seems like the scenario is that the drunk driver walks away unscathed while two or three people die in the car they hit.

Glad to hear you're OK and to hell with the drunk. Go after him for the money you deserve for all this crap you have to go through. Don't be afraid to make a trip to the doctor, a lot of times you don't feel the worst of the aftermath of the impact until a few days later. Best of luck with getting everything sorted out.

 

Glad you and junior are ok, very sorry about your car. Might be worth a visit to the doc to get checked out, or treat yourself to a couple of good massages. I was on adrenaline after my accident in September, as you likely were after this one, and thought I was ok aside from a stiff neck. I ended up having some very painful back issues crop up a month later. Things get out of whack when you take a good hit.

 

lost my sister to a drunk driverr, sorry your going through it, but glad you made it out alright man...be blessed.

 

i'm glad neither you or your son were seriously injured....am pretty sure about the car being totalled also...get your son checked out just to be on the safe side

i was in a similar situation last year when a drunk driver came flying outta nowhere at a traffic light...fortunately the traffic light pole took most of the impact from the hit and i was able to drive away with only a broken headlight+cracked bumper....smh, people are so reckless nowadays it's just crazy

 

I went out to remove the rest of the stuff in the car (passenger door won't close completely but alarm still works) and when I looked up under the back of the hood, I could see the FSTB was bent upwards several inches. Strut tower on the passenger side definitely not where it used to be.

 

Really sorry to hear about the car, glad you and your son are ok

 

Ouch. That must have been a hard jolt when the car got hit. But good thing evrybody is okay.

So whats next?

 

damn dude when i saw the vehicle that hit you i was thoroughly amazed that the damage wasnt any more extensive than it is. glad you and your son are ok man.

Stay positive man!

 

Damn dude. I know how it feels. Glad you're alright though. The car does look totaled for sure. My adjuster said it would cost at least 3500 just to replace the airbags alone, never mind the body work.

 

I wonder how fast that motard was going?
