You believe what you wanna believe, we will believe what we wanna believe. don't hassle someone else for believing in God.

 

oh I am...

 

 

Maxima racer,

Have you decided/told us what vehicles your kicking around? You may have mentioned it and I may have missed it, but I am definately curious. What's next for you, besides recovering?

 

wow, Glad your alright

 

Sickse,

Pm sent to you.

 

AMEN! Thank God you are alive bro!

 

WOW, that car is trashed. Glad you're ok man. What an experience huh? Take care bro.

 

I have no comment - what a stunning photo. Insane. You are ok. Even more insane. Very, very glad for you man.

damn, that looks nasty...glad you made it out ok. cars can be replaced, people can't.

it's been raining here all week...and i have balding tires... i better new rubber asap...

 

Dziadek by ci dupe skopal jak by wiedzial ze w boga nie wierzysz

LOL, i had to throw that in there. HAHAHAHA, o korwa ale zarty tutaj lataja.

ain't that some shi-t. wow, glad you're OK. When agreeing on settlement, get quotes from 3 dealers as to how much it would cost for a replacement in same condition with same mileage.

 

I think the insurance is most likely going to pay the cost of the car. So if they pay the amount instead of replacing it than next option for me is a new G37 or a used corvette. So lets see what happens. Even if they decide to give me a car with same mileage(21000ish) i'd be happy. What a weekend. This kind of things surly changes your mind about life.

 

lol I was mainly agreeing with the Matts 3rd comment. I DO believe in God, but I'm not one to think that EVERYTHING happens for a reason, even though I kind of do.

 

Man, glad your ok. It was not your day to cross over.

Some credit should also go to Nissan for building a cabin that can withstand so much. No praise to Goodyear for trying so hard to kill its customers.

I hope you are getting a full checkup. You don't want back or neck trouble to show up later on. And don't hesitate to see a specialist if you feel an emotional burden you can't shake.

Whatever your beliefs are, you owe somebody a big thank you and a big favor.

 

wow thats crazy man, glad your ok and that the max held up enough to keep you safe. any pics of the car afterwards now?

 

Kam you got me rolling on the floor, dude. ahahahhahahha thats was a good one and cought me by surprise in this serious thread.

 

im looking more at the pic, and reading the thread again, i dont think the maxima held up so well, as lucky as he is for being virtually unharmed. I remember seeing crash tests of the 6gen and they said the front end holds up great but the side was weaker and didnt hold up so well. my only comparison would be that i work for a bodyshop and have seen a lot of cars up close that have been in bad accidents. we had a new bmw 328 that hit a pole at about 90 mph..flipped twice landed on the roof and caught on fire, weigh essentially the same as a maxima and the roof barely caved in at all.

 

Interesting you said this because a couple weeks back I attended the new 08 C Class MBZ event and they were touting the fact that their left and right side roof supports can (individually?) hold the entire weight of the car on top of it.

 

s klass, im not surprised those german cars are built so well, i work for bmw and i see how these cars are put together structurally, and looking at some japanese and american cars, sadly, dont have the same structual soundness. and ill repost working pics later

 

glad ur okay and no one else was else was hurt...i remember seeing your car at san jac around the beginning of august and thinking to my self what a clean looking ride you had. best of luck to ya

 

yep that was me..

 

Wow. That hurts to look at. Make my accident look like nothing. Glad to hear your okay tho.

 

And yours ^^^^^^ Makes mine look like nothing.

Is it possible for reports on crash test to be way off? I've seen quite a few beaten and battered Maxes, and yet, the owners walked!

 

Glad you are okay, better see you in church sunday!

 

as everyone else has already said, that is crazy, and it's a good thing you walked away. it always sucks to see a destroyed max but hey, at least it wasn't a third gen

haha, just playin man.


edit: i flipped (just a flip, not a roll. landed on the roof) a 92 max at 75mph, destroyed the suspension on the drivers side and pretty much everything else on that side.....

then i flipped another 92 at 15MPH! F-I-F-T-E-E-N--M-P-H.......that time it rolled twice and didn't have a spot on the body that wasn't touched.....but it still ran fine. ;x

walked away from both, not even a scratch....

 

Jesus, Mary & Joesph

 

Any new pics of the car righted?

 

no not yet i will have some tomorrow since i gotta break the trunk open to remove some of my stuff before the insurance company takes the car.

 

Dang KC I drool at those rims every time I see your sig.

 

They are different type of impacts. The E46 in your pics rolled, where MaximaRacer's car flipped and LANDED on the roof.

 

Just saw this thread. Dang, that is crazy. Glad to hear you're okay.

 

Son of a *****

Glad to hear you are OK!

I've flipped racecars but never a street car. I hope I never flip a street car.

 

You can count you're blessings that you are alright! You are probabaly going to be different now....it might even be strange driving another car for a while. An accident no matter how bad has a dramatic impact on a persons mind from a psychological perspective. I used to have a 2002 Maxima GLE with a spoiler...In December 2003 I was hit by an eighty year old man who went straight through a traffic light at 50 mph without even hitting the brakes. I think he fell asleep at the wheel. After hitting my car like a top and rotating it 180 he continued straight in to an angled side of a building! It was 1 am about 2 weeks before Xmas. This guy was most probably driving back from a Xmas party as he was dressed up. He had a passenger with him who was wheel chair bound....an elderly man who ended up hitting the windshield and was bleeding from his forehead!. I nearly flipped out when I saw the driver get out of the car....he had trouble walking and used a cane! How do they let people like that even drive? There is no way that this guy could react quickly enough with his foot to stop in an emergency situation! The car he was driving was an Acura EL which is sold only in Canada I believe...it's basically a dressed up Honda Civic. My car was a write off as the engine bay was basically "gone". My front air bag went off and the smell got me out of the car in a hurry...lots of white powdery stuff. I was also very lucky as I did not even have a scratch. The old bast*** got off without a breathalizer as the cops took too long to get the the scene....the fire department got to the scene first followed by an ambulance followed by a cop who claimed he was off duty and only "filling in" and thus did not have the authority to administer a breathalizer! Finally when the right cops got there it was too late to do anything as these guys were on oxygen in the back of an ambulance. Today and always I will remeber that accident...I was very lucky to walk away...It took me a few months before I felt relaxed behind the wheel again....Just a normal process....

I hope that what ever healing period that you go through just remember during those "ups & downs" that you're ok and you will move on!

 

Yep... even though I was knocked unconscious and have absolutely no recollection of this accident:

(http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...6&postcount=21)

it does make you think a bit differently when you escape one of these. For me, it made me think about how quickly and easily I could have been killed "without ever knowing what hit me", as the saying goes. One minute driving home from work to the family, next minute...

I still occasionally drive past the spot where the dumbåss lady ran the stop sign and spun me into a concrete light pole... the pole still has the scars on it - at least mine have healed.

 

Damn dude, you are lucky to be on this forum right now!

 

heres a picture of car on wheels

 

Holy Cow!!!!!!

That's insane. I hope to never see that side of my car.

I really am amazed that you walked out of that.

What's your next step?

 

Hard to imagine that you ended up in that crushed down back seat yet were unhurt... somebody was looking out for you!

 

Wating for insurance company to get back to me. But I'm thinking of getting a G-35 sports sedan.
