Went to Home Depot tonight to get some shelves and when I came out of the store, THIS



was waiting for me. No witnesses of course. I was hoping that HomeDepot had a security camera in their parking lot, but no such luck. Filed a police report, but all he can do was sympathize with me. Better scraunge up some money for my deductable..

Damn!!! I would be crying too if I saw that happen to my car. This August has definitely been a biatch for Maximas. My mom's car got nailed too (some dip$hit wasn't paying attention at a stop sign and hit her), had to replace the rear bumper. What's the damage count on your car? Oh yeah, if I'm not mistaken I think your tires are flat too.

Dude, that sucks...

Hope the SC isn't damaged. I remember your previous accident...getting rear-ended...bad luck.

Does this mean you won't be making the meet?

Well, I can't make it to the meet anyway. My wife has invited several friends over for dinner on the 8th. So unless the meet is during the day, I won't be able to attend.

I'm really sorry to see that happent to such a pretty car. I came a 1/4 of an inch away from being a victim of August last night. Some old guy with a few to many in him started going in reverse instead of going straight out of his parking spot. Since I was in the parking lot I started running over and screaming at him until he slammed on his brakes, put it in drive and took off.

That sux I feel for you.. I feel for all the damaged Maximas in August alone. My Max is still sitting at the shop, waiting for the bodykit and doors to come in. This August has proven to be a depressing and an expensive one.

damn, that doesn't look good...

same thing happened to me, i went to circuit city with a friend, and when i came out, he walked around the car to get to the passenger side and said, "when did this happen? i never noticed this dent before!", i was like, "WTF!!!!", and sure enough, there was a dent on the right hand side of the rear bumper. its awful, probably some punk kid that doesn't want to get in trouble with the parents or someone with a crappy car that doesn't care. either way i was ****ed, if i had a digi cam or something, i would have posted pics. sorry about what happened.

The meet's at night; too bad we'll be missing the area's most "maxed-out" Max.
Whoa..I don't remembr you being married or having the body kit when we had our first meet. Congrats.

Sorry man

similar story here but the damage isn't as bad. Friday night while at the culbs here in Atlanta someone hit my car. Looks like 3 times becasue there are 3 similar marks. 2 in the driver door and 1 in the rear door. I didn't notice it until Saturday afternoon. Not much paint missing just big dents. Well, one more thing to add to the list.

August SUCKS!

In my case, there wasn't anyone standing around and no one reported to the police. So the full responsibility falls to my insurance and my deductable. At least I have a full coverage with a rental car clause.
