A very close friend of mine asked that i post this, so it may just slow one person down. He had a 2003 White Maxima, wrecked at 100 mph and these are pictures of the car at the wreck yard.






He was going down an exit ramp, that went under an overpass. He his the wall of the overpass, where one person was ejected, and the car rolled to the center median, where it caught fire, and stopped.




No drugs or alcohol was a part of this,... just a guy like you and i having fun in the maxima and lost control.

 

no deaths hopefully ..

 

no, both died

 

D'amn, that sucks. Sorry to hear about the loss.

 

That headlight looks like it's in decent condition, though...anyone call dibs on it, yet?

 

you're kidding right?

RIP

 

Wow... just wow.

 

 

He must have been flying, as in the second picture middle right it looks like the cam shaft out of the motor, or out put pinon shaft out of the transmisson, so the impact was total destruction of the car. Car crushers/grinders don't do it that good at the junk yard.

It just goes to show you even though it is made of metal, speed will kill.

 

That'll buff right out.

 

thats just disturbing... id hate to die that way

 

It's a differential.

 

if you look closely, he was running on the stock RE-92's....i'm not saying those did it, because it's very easy to lose control at those speeds, but with my experiance, those tires didn't help the outcome...sad to see, and let this be a lesson to us all.

 

no i wasn't. she said "my friend sent these" so I first fiigured it was the friend that was driving ... didn't mention deaths, so i asked.

there's always hope.

 

Just Tragic. That is deeply sadening.

 

wow.....thats uh....damn....

 

thats too bad too, i would have gladly taken parts from the car or even the whole car, they didnt need to wreck it like that

 

Sad






















a 3rd gen would have made it

 

(insert Phasta link)

RIMP. sorry to hear about your loss. a good friend of mine died a few years ago from injuries aquired in the passenger seat of his own car. some drunken illegal alien was driving the car for some reason, blew stop sign and was t-boned on the passenger side by a tow truck. of course that's where my friend was sitting. pretty messed up. the alien got like 6 years in prison.

 

my deepest and sincerest condolences

 

OMG!!!

That's just sad....

 

Is this an appropriate smiley for this?

 

RIP... makes you think twice about speeding in the off ramp.

 

thats godawful

going to make me think twice about speeding.. but inevitably, I'll speed, and nothing will happen.. so I'll assume I'm invincible and go faster

 

Knowing the limits of your car its a matter of life and death......

RIP...

 

Ill say its real allright


Mandy Moore - So Real music song lyric




Innocence is what i've got
It'll take true love to hit the spot
can't control my every move
When we're together We're in the groove
don't care about your other girls
I'm the only one who rocks your world
Gonna have to keep me satisfied
Cause my innocence won't be denied

CHORUS
Baby it's real So so real
That I just can't explain the way That it's making me feel
So so real Baby it's real
I just can't let you go Baby,oh, baby it's real
keeps me hanginn' on Baby it's real


My heart is under lock and key
Together we can set it free
Ain't no mountain that we can't climb
All you got to do is take your time
I said I'm giving you my all and all
Be careful that you don't slip and fall
It's my innocence that make you yearn
For that perfect gift that you can't return


CHORUS


Baby you know that it's real
The way that your making me feel
You know that baby, baby, it's real
That I just can't explain the way
That it's making me feel
So, so real


Baby it's real
So so real
That I just can't explain the way
That it's making me feel
So so real
Baby it's real
I just can't let you go
Baby,oh, baby it's real
It keeps me hanging on
Baby it's real

 

 

The fact that you're quoting Mandy Moore leads me to believe you have a tendency to be homoerotic

As for the original thread, it's sad that people lost loved ones, but it's the price to pay for such idiocy. This is one of the many daily reminders that life is precious.

 

I thought the lady would like it, considering the realness

 

Ouch!

.......

 

 

A terrible tragedy indeed. I second the observation about the RE92s if it happened in the rain, but otherwise it can simply be a matter of debris/dirt on the road and too much speed. You can never be too careful on hard corners, especially with a stock suspension. There's a reason so many of us spend so much time setting up our own "perfect suspension" - because it can be a lifesaver.

as opposed to the drunken legal US citizens, who are much better drivers Relevancy of residency: 404 Not Found.

 

If he was driving like a maniac around a corner, it wouldnt matter if it was an F1 racecar.

 

Just plain sad...

 

Rip...........................god Bless There Souls!

 

whats the point of this??

we all know speed kills..i dont understand what this is supposed to show...that a Maxima cant withstand a 100mph collision??? id like to see a factory vehicle that can

sorry for your loss, and best wishes to the victim's families

 

I think it is to pump some reality into this place, where there is alot of idle talk about reckless driving habits and alot of these younger guys have a false sense of security and invincibility when driving......

 

True. A friend of mine (more so friend by association..) recently lost his life flying around a curve on a highway in his buddy's Integra. He lost control slammed into the exit sign, wasn't wearing his seatbelt, went flying out the window, was hit by his car which continued to roll over his body before comming to a full stop upon his mangled body. It's a F'ed up situation but in my heart I don't feel sorry for him because he was being a dumba$$ and always had a habit of being a dumba$$. There were 2 others in the car who survived thanks to thier seatbelts. Oh wait, lets not forget to mention he was drinking and getting high all day. I sure he would have gotten owned n the road with or without the drugs.

Sad but true story

 

Atleast that idiot didnt end up killing innocent people

 

Wow, that is crazy.
