I havent driven my maxima in a couple of weeks and decided to take it out. Went through some back road curves and have almost forgotten how fun the Max could be to drive. Should be a req. to hit some back roads every week.

 

Sounds nice to me. Going out of town later today though not in the max.

 

I hit every curve every day like it's a backroad!!! 2 weeks without driving the Max? Are you koo koo???

 

Redls1,

I'm not sure, but if you aren't lowered (didn't see it in your sig), lower it. It handles remarkable well once lowered. You think it is a rush to drive now, And boy do I know it as well, it will be substantially noticeable when you drop her.

 

how....do you go two weeks....without driving the Maxima? I go two days without driving it and I find myself staring at it..looking at it at all angles..cleaning it..etc. Not driving my Maxima is like not breathing. I really cant stand it..i've driven 3 maximas a total of 145,000 miles combined and I haven't gotten one bit tired or bored of it. Maybe I'm crazy but....

 

Well my fun came to an abrupt end yesterday when I hit a tree. Will see how bad it is tomorrow.

 

Is it drivable, or was it towed home

 

oh thats not good...at least you are ok. how bad is damage?

 

Front end is pretty screwed. I was wearing my seat belt. Air bags were deployed. My side and back are pretty sore.

 

wow..well again im really glad your ok..never want to hear about anyone getting severly hurt or killed in an accident.. bring it to a shop yet? and I know your still probably hurting on it but do you have any photos of the damage?

 

Dont have a shop yet, guess Ill get it towed to nissan. No photos yet.

 

try to make sure ur ins. company doesnt want to try and use aftermarket parts..insist on OEM and dont let them make u choose one of their shops..sorry for goin off topic...if u have any questions on the whole repair process or ins company let me know..worked in a bodyshop for awhile now I pretty much know it a-z

 

Not sure how to post pics. Think its totaled?

im going to go out on a limb, no pun intended and say that you are correct. Looks like its to the bone. Sorry bro. Hope you get another and stick around.

 

looks really bad but not totaled, if the wheel was pushed back and it tweaked the axles going into the trans then you would have costly damage, and it's hard to see whats actually pushed back except the radiator, the trans and engine look like they should be somewhat fine

what fluids leaked or should I say poured out of it

 

Seriously, with the way this thread started I had a bad feeling about it.

I'm sorry this happened, did you get sited for failure to control? Damn, glad you are ok. Metal and plastic, not the most precious things in the world. Take care.

 

Still had fluids and wheels are fine. It the undercarriage and stuff that was bad the tow driver said.

 

it looks totalled ..and if its not i would tell the shop i drop it off at to make it look a lil worst to total it get the money and buy a new one ... its not gona be the same!! but hey if not make sure they do excellent body work!!

 

I dont think they will total that..i mean its brand new. a new front section of the frame...front end..rad and support..headlight(s) maybe some exhaust and doesnt look like much else got damaged. cant see under the hood to see the engine. but if no damage..doubt they will total it.
