flew around a 90 degree curve at 47 miles an hour and the back end of the car came out a little more than the front and just ever so slightly kissed the curb....
Guy sideswiped me and took off, me having to chase his azz down and run him off the road...
(not really, but I ended up catching him and doing $12,000 in damage. I should have let him get away...

Came out from a club, drove off, heard a wierd clunking noise from the left rear wheelwell, parked it, walked outside, said "holy **** that's a big $300 dent in my rear quarter panel. Walked round the back to check it out, and came to see this:

Damn Jury Duty
I did my duty as any normal citizen would do and went to jury duty. Parked at the courthouse and was released for lunch about noon. Got back from lunch and within a 15 min span they released us. Came out of the courthouse - walked to the parking lot and saw a dimple on my back right side. I thought it was the glare from the sun. As I got closer I realized someone hit my car. Threw my purse down... and I started to look around for any white cars that were parked in the area cause there was some white scrapes on the paint. Ended up getting it fixed out of pocket and thankfully the bodyshop was able to save my bumper cover....

lol...know what you mean. I had a similar experience. I still stuck with the date though even though I wanted to just leave, but in the end, I had to tell her she wasn't my type.

the time i bent my hood on a subaru...and two days ago when i hit a hard right curve at about 60, coulda made it ok but tires were covered in dirt, slid out the back, the car went / \ / \ then back to straight after nearly clipping an oncoming caddy, the guy behind me was like what the heck happened and the guy in front of me was like i saw you losing control like crazy and wondering what the heck you were doing, scared the crap outta me and coulda been very expensive

I was driving in my 96 5spd, going to wash the car, I was going uphill about 40-45 mph when the truck going really slow on my right decided to make a U-turn right in front of me... totaled my car and his truck... I had the car for less than a year, and only got to drive it for 2 months...

the only time we had snow this winter, hit a curb with my right front (bent lower conrol arm), then 2 hours later slid into another curb with left front (bent lower control arm). peanuts. early may - 2 smokked-out @$$holes in a stolen legend (damn hondas!!! 
) hit my front left, taking out the headlight, mingling my bumper, bumper support, and hood. last week, 98 eclipse hits me in left rear in a slow moving traffic, messing up the rear real good (left rear door stuck shot, left rear tire cant turn, had to be towed on a flatbed). i only had the car for 6 months! it must be cursed! but hey, i walked away from it all without any serious injury.

Installed my AGX's and went to a buddies house to show him how "TIGHT" the suspension is.
He proceded to push down really hard on my right front fender..... leaving both of his thumb impressions indented on the top of my fender
Thanks to Dent Wizard and $125 bucks later, my car was perfect again.

Taking it to Nissan service
for a rattling sound in center vent. They gouged the vent, dash, Bose head system, scratched my AE (after market) shift ****, and scratched the shift bezel, and hosed down the right rear door in silicon. All within 2 visits.
They fought me on the Bose, as you can only replace the head as a unit not just the plate (they tried to pry it out and left pry marks on the dash AND the face plate), and tried to have a plastic repair do it. We both (plastic guy and I) looked at it and each other and he said "there is no way I could do this and youll be happy right?"...then he told them there was no way he could fix. Then they tried to "give" me my 15K and 30K service for free....um no...you dont do anything anyway... just "checks". And like I need to babysit to make sure its done correctly....sorry..no trust there.
So in the end they ordered a Bose (they installed), shift bezel, **** and center vent. I put in the last three because every time I go in something get messed up. Plus they ordered the **** based on VIN and had the wrong one. I told them they messed up a AE version. Much more...they were not happy.
I also found that while installing the shift bezel and "changing" my air cleaners...found I did not have any...period. SOooooo either they were not installed by service for my car delivery when I bought it or they were not re-installed by service while they were trouble shooting the center vent noise. Either way I was an unhappy camper.
Still cracks me up getting the "Oil change reminders" or We have missed you get xx% off of a so and so service....HA HA HA

Had the car for 2 weeks and someone bounced a ball or something off of my roof. It had a big crease in it. A week Later, I'm driving down the street in the right lane and some guy decides he's going to take a right turn from the left lane without signaling or looking to see if anyone was in the right lane. I hit him but still one the case.

it was drizzling and i was headed to work. the road has a wide left turn and in the middle of that left is a 90 degree right turn into the parking lot of my workplace. i was going about 15-20 mph when i made the turn (or tried to make it) into the parking lot....hydroplaned....so my wheels turned, but the car didnt, kept going straight, over the curb and into a STOP sign. luckily since i went over the curb, my car was pointing slightly upwards as i hit the sign and that resulted in the sign bending backwards away from my car rather than onto my car. only damage was a shattered license plate frame and a bent license plate.
i no longer own that Max, and i take an alternate entrance to the parking lot in my new Max
