Is it just me or are there more Maxima misfortunes this month compared to any other time?
My accident happened on the 2nd... and then it seems like every other day I see posted stories of Maxima carjacks, vandals and near-accidents on the org. I thought I was the only one until Medic noticed the disturbing pattern. What's goin' on?

 

I'm being VERY cautious.

 

amen.

Well, if you think about it, August 2001 does have the dubious distinction of having a Monday the 13th! Hmmm...

I think the best thing we can all do to stay safe out there is to drive a little slower and be more alert. You can prevent accidents caused by your own inattentive driving, but you cannot prevent things such as the carelessness of other drivers, or whether your car gets stolen. So peeps, keep it real and enjoy the ride!

 

I know... I'm getting worried. Maybe I should rent a car for the remainder of the month.

 

Drive defensively, make wise decisions, keep your doors locked, and remember that your Maxima might be mean the world to you, but it isn't worth your life. I'd rather see that you got carjacked than never seeing you post again. Stay safe.

 

my sweet 95 SE (white) was totaled from behind in early July, I think it's just been a bad summer. Thank God I replaced it with a 96 GLE (pebble beige) w/new timing chain, complements of me.

 

Lady rearended me because she was trying to light her cig. Man when you are in a car...drive the car....

To top it off, I was completely stopped at a RED light. This makes me so mad....my car is just 6 months old....AUUUUGGGG

 

I've hit a dog, got backed into, hit a buzzard and had a tire re-tread off an 18 wheeler hit the front of my car. Three of the four was last august.

 

is that a CVA-1005? where's the DVD player?

 

I'm scared now... 300 mile drive tonight or tomorrow. Uh oh... I'm going to wrap my car in pillows just to be safe.

 

this august.. alternator went caput, and some ******* opened thier door into my rear quarter panel.

 

Blew out two tires, causing a rim to crack..My struts blew out in the front, and my car is steering all over the place and no one knows what is going on with it...
Hell of a month...

 

Well nothing has happened too bad to my car yet this month, but i haven't used the 100shot of nos yet. so there is still time. although my shocks finally took a hike. they are totalled, but the toks are in the mail.

 

yes its the 1005. The dvd is in the glove box along with the changer. Actually its not an alpine dvd player but i run it through the av inputs in the motherboard.

 

Uggghhhhh....dont remind me.

Its still dragging.

 

that's it...



i am taking vacation for the rest of the month...

 

Sheesh, no kidding, my Alternator went out too, I was out of a car for a week. Got it back though with a new Alternator. And I have a trip to Houston this weekend... I'm getting scared.

 

Does this mean we can't pick up hitchhikers?

 

My maxima is fine.. as long as i talk nice to it and say "please" and "thank you" it never complains

112K miles and going strong, car takes a whippin every day and keeps on tickin

Ant

 

i hear that man.

 

yea this is true.......we have almost made it through the month......ummm.....well not really but over the half mark. hoepfully no more posts with bad news.

btw, thanks for recommending basslink maxgurl, im pretty happy with it.

 

Alright! Play around with the tuning, maybe you can tweek it to your taste more. Were you able to secure the mounting brackets?

 

yea, sorta kinda. my friend did it for me. its not as steady as it prob should be. im gona have to play around with it a bit but the hard part of connecting it and all is all done thanks to whitymax.

 

my max was broken into for the second time in a month. That makes not only August a bad month but the third month in a row: someone hit me in June, it was broken into in July and again this month.

FYI, for those in the NY area: our beloved max is third on the list of most stolen. Do what you can but be smart

 

i have been riding my bike

 

Hey, if you want maybe we could meet up! I live in H-Town so let me know.

 

good luck to everyone out there drive safely

 

I got so scared i ran away to taiwan and left my max in the garage!

 

not just maximas...i hate auguest

 

I hit a deer with my 91GXE last night $1500 in damage is estimated.

I got a ticket for racing, along with two other Maxima.org members. AUGUST SUCKS!

 

but its not maxima related.

my dad just bougt my older brother an Acura Integra GS 4 Door and less than 10 minutes from the dealer we got rear ended. There was huge white bumper right in the middle of the highway (had construction with barricades on both sides, very narrow), we were on the right lane and the left lane had traffic coming so we couldn't dodge it so we had to slow down. the Tahoe behind us slowed down too, then i looked in the rearview and saw the Tahoe surge forward and hit us. A ford Tempo hit the Tahoe into us. Man the Tahoe was scratchless. I don't know how! the Tempo was f00ked. It had antifreeze going everywhere. Our spankin new integra had a bump not too deep and slightly bent trunk.

 

ya, hope court goes well, i have to work on friday, at night. i want to hear the results.

 

I saw a burgundy Maxima (3rd generation?) on I-5 North (in Washington state) today that was getting towed away because it was involved in an accident. It was around mile marker 180-185 or something. Sucky, sucky, sucky!

 

How much is a an alternator going to cost me? I see that a lot of you guys recently got one.
