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...

Be careful where you park

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.

that's why i don't get attached, everyone knows that i love my car and if an ex even touched my car i'd kill her plain and simple. it's easier being a playa anyway.

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.

Yeah, perfectly. This was in the middle of a Buffalo snow storm...I saw one run across the road, so slowed way down. Saw the second one pop out but just couldn't stop in time. The dear didn't even fall down. I just bumped it and it kept on going. I think it caught my foglight with its foot.

I hit something and my airbag went off.

The little things I had stuck to my steering wheel shot into my chest and cut my heart in half. So, I died from hitting a bush...

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
