Looks like your original max was hit by a semi. What happened?

maxspeed96CT Mar 12, 2004 04:58 PM

wow man, how did you make out money wise, did you lose alot or come off good sence you used the parts?

nupe500 Mar 12, 2004 05:09 PM

turdlett: I was run off the road by a maniac driver who never even stopped to make sure we were ok...still haven't caught the fooker..but my eyes are pealed

maxspeed96ct: I obviously lost money on the deal, but that was nothing considering that I walked out of the accident unscathed...the new max cost me $2500...thank goodness for AAA for towing of both cars.

The rest was pretty much labor...I prolly shelled out another $500 in other parts and food and traveling to where the cars where...about 80 miles away.

BLaZin 2k MaX Mar 12, 2004 07:42 PM

are those gt rims on your old max?

maxima98vspec Mar 12, 2004 08:54 PM

tooo bad for the old car, what parts do u have that u can sell me????.....for a sec i thought all thoes black body pieces were carbon fiber lol.......

FanaticMadMax Mar 12, 2004 11:13 PM

WHOA. That is serious damage. Luckily you walked away without injuries. I wonder how did the other person still driving away considering how much damage he/she caused your car yet, I'm sure the other person have even more damage.

DoGGy Mar 12, 2004 11:19 PM

lots of props. i remember u postin about this long time ago. now all u need is a new paint and ur set. rims look nice too :)

DAVE Sz Mar 13, 2004 10:48 AM

Hasn't your car been in that multi-color stage for months now?

R5a7B Mar 13, 2004 11:27 AM

I remember you posting about the accident. Glad to see how far you've come with the new one. Get that paint on quick! It'll look even better.

nupe500 Mar 14, 2004 08:02 AM

The other driver ran me off the road, and it was the off-roading that killed the car, but hey...we move on..

The car HAS been multi-color for some time...since I completed it in September, but the paint is coming soon....so are new rims...;) And some other cool stuff.

Thanx for the props peoples....just felt it was necessary to post this thread to let people know my color scheme is not intentional...even though some like it...lol

As for those asking about parts...I've got just a couple of little things left from the other car...Tan Headrests...and some other stuff...gotta go check the basement...PM me.

Maxima95Tuner Mar 14, 2004 08:24 AM

Hey man, it's good to see that you are taking it with an open mind and continuing to mod. Can't wait to see it painted.

CCx Mar 14, 2004 09:00 AM

your car looks funny.... :wall: :D

metallic97gxe Mar 15, 2004 03:07 AM

coming along nicely bud..................

nupe500 Mar 15, 2004 04:41 AM

johnnyo319- The accident was right by Adams Ave...thats near where I live...yup...and you probably did see me on Sat...I was PIMPing...on the LOW!...LOL

Xugg- I'm thinking that I'm gonna paint it an offshoot of pebble beige or maybe just go stock...not decided yet...but I don't wanna have to repaint the jambs..

Thanks Will...u know how we do...BMM

I was just looking through your cardomain page the other day. I was trying to think what could have possibly happened to you in the accident.. Wow that must have been one crazy ordeal.

Crazy is not the word...I had just dropped off my body kit to get painted about 15 min earlier and was on the way to breakfast...needless to say...my whole DAY was foooked. But I :bowdown: God for letting me see many more days.

plus I learned a crap load about the maxima in the process...so its all good. :D

Jeff92se Mar 15, 2004 10:12 PM
