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

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 ******..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.

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.

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.

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 God for letting me see many more days.

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