10 years and not a scratch or dent until today, I was probably better off going over the ladder 😕

still running like a.champ, the tire scrapes and the trunk is hard to close had to slam it real hard..

ahhh.... the guardrail. It Could have been way worse Running over it though, so don't Overthink it. File a Claim and Pick a Color..

Ive done this, I hate to admit it, Nothing you can do sometimes though. The rear Glass didn't break, So this is easily Fixable these days..

Although the whole incident is terribly unfortunate, the cost of repairs so far seems reasonable and IMO, well worth it.

I’m glad to see you’re going to this trouble … I’d do the same thing and my ‘99 has been mine since it sat on the dealer’s showroom floor.

Was the rear wheel damaged? I see it's been swapped out.

People steal side marker lights?

I put the narrower Murano wheel on the wrecked side cause the 350Z touring wheel was rubbing bad


side markers pry right off, i had to replace the back one 3 times...
