Who dropped this 6th gen from the sky?

Was on the way to Vermont (for some skiing) and saw this nice red maxima... well except for the fact that it looks as if somebody drove it off a cliff backwards or dropped it off a truck.

Other than that it looks pretty mint lol

the trailer looks just as bad as the car it's hauling. What's going on here?

It's photoshopped. Not supposed to post license plate on internet for privacy reasons.

Pretty sure its not photoshopped, unless someone did a good job of putting a "fake piece that is actually behind the plate".


It's possible this could've fallen off a delivery truck going to a dealership. I've heard of such happening to brand new cars.

+1 to guessing what happened. I say the guy went into a slide and the rear driver's side wheel smacked a curb nice and hard, tipping the car over and landing it on the roof.

I didn't know that Maximas had Super HICAS?

According to the timeline, it's about time that Nissan came out with HoverCars. Too bad this one couldn't completely convert to hovercar mode before getting smashed.

One of the most iconic flying cars is the De Lorean from the film Back to the Future Part II, which underwent "hover conversion" while time-traveling in the future. In the film, "hover-converted" cars have become popular by the year 2015. In the Back to the Future films, the hovercars are capable of sustained flight. The Back to the Future series also features a "hoverboard", which resembles a skateboard in the same way that a hovercar resembles an automobile, and a steam locomotive which also undergoes a hover conversion.

I don't see why it wouldn't. From that pic it you can't really tell but unless something happen to the engine then I would imagine that the powertrain would be just fine.

I thought the spoiler was the propeller on this 'HooverMax'. Kind of reminded me of a wind up toy.

My guess was a slip and slide show on ice. Tree branch just caught the spoiler? :dunno:

I was thinking someone hit the passenger side quarter panel, slamming the car into a curb, causing the wheel to buckle.

Anyone else notice that the transporter ran the chain THROUGH one of the spokes on the broken hub side?

Why oh why???

Let's not use the hook these cars came with, made specifically for transporting,.... "let's just run it through this right here rim. You know, the busted one?!"

Looks like the car came from an auction from the writing on the car.

Rear window is broke along with the passenger tail light. So that car was hit on the passenger causing the car to slide into a curb or something bending the suspension on the drivers side.

Wow thats amazing, every time that moron slows down all the tension is on that f-ed up rear wheel, you not suppose to transport cars like that

My guess as to what happened was it was on a lift at a dealer for something minor when one of the legs that hold the car was not locked in properly and when the weight of the car shifted it slipped off and landed at an angle on that rear driver side wheel and then the rest of the weight came down on top of it, really unsure as to what the power train has suffered, your not suppose to drop an engine and with those 18 there is not much absorbing the impact from a 6foot drop if it did come off a lift, if anyone owns a lawn mower or snow blower it says in the owners manual that the engine is not covered if you drop it off the back of a truck

an alien space craft came and beamed it up. after realizing what they had obtained, they freaked out and shot it with their superior hammer guns. thinking the beast dead, they quickly beamed it back down to earth. in their haste, they accidentally placed it back about 2feet above the ground at an angle.
poor bastards, prolly got used to beaming up hondas and just freaked.
