The Maxima is Totaled, Part II
The Maxima is Totaled, Part II
Last week I started a thread telling how I totaled our cars last week. I was finally able to get to the car and take some pics. So here they are below. Insurance has deemed it 'totaled' but the details are still being worked out.

With a crashing halt my 2005 onyx Nissan Maxima SE venture came to an end. Only three months to the day and five thousand miles would make the car that brought me anxiously to this forum last.
In an unavoidable collision, I slammed into the back of an SUV on I-405. The kicker is, my wife was in her car behind me and was unable to avoid the crash as well. Both of our cars, totaled.
This is all such a huge catastrophe. Just Friday I ordered my SE-R aluminum pedals and was anxious to post pics of them installed.
So it is for now that I take my (temporary) leave from the Org. I anticipate insurance will afford the opportunity for a new car. I already have my eye on a ’06 onyx SE – hello Bluetooth! I am also tempted to buy a 20th Anniversary Max I saw for sale today, too. A car I have always admired. The options are endless.
I will keep you all posted.

I think we for sure get another Maxima, a 2006 SE. As for the second car, we may buy a Pathfinder.

I can't believe an Escort did that to the trunk!! I thought our cars were better made than that. 
I does look like your front bumper dipped under the SUV in front of you, that's why the bags didn't deploy. Glad you could walk away from it. Any word on who got cited for the crash?
You won't be disappointed with a new Pathfinder either. I love our LE with DVD, no Nav. It is refined enough yet doesn't let you forget you are in a mans SUV, not a numbed down RX330.

As far as the parts...Sorry, guys, I think it all belongs to insurance now. I was dying to strip it. All I got out of it was the mats and the grille (it was unscathed). I was dying for those wheels and tires. They'd sell nice and the new Maxima I am looking at has those factory chrome rims which I don't care for...
