Holy crap...that looks worse than my gf's Mustang after she fell asleep, hit the center divider at about 50 mpg, and rolled three times. She came out of it ok too..just a cut and really sore. Good to see you are still with us.

GLAD to see you survived. I had a bad accident too in 2000. But why are you posting this now? did you just find maxima.org?

BTW I LOVE your Legend...I've always liked those cars...6spd, 230hp, cant beat it for such an old car

Incredible that you survived... I hate to say it but it looks more like pure luck that you made it than anything the car did. Beautiful Legend also, I've always wanted one of those cars.

P.S. - the mesh-style rims look better.

I had a buddy wreck 1 of my cars that looked much worse than that. How he survived is he got ejected from the car through the closed passenger window before the car hit an oak tree 12 feet off the ground at at least 80mph. He limped out of the hospital the next day.
It's real simple, this type of thing is called devine intervention.

If he was ejected it's because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt???

He's better get down on those kneews and pray to his god every day for the rest of his second life.

Yup. If he was wearing it he'd be dead.

This incident actually killed our friendship as a result. I had just got my 96 Max and instead of trading my old car in on the Max for $1500-2000 I sold it to him for $500 to help him out. He was living with me at the time. I never saw a dime for it either. He got the car on Wednesday and that Friday night it was toast. Everything was still in my name. He was driving home drunk and thought he was back in Chicago, I live in Atlanta now, he passed my house and a mile down the road slid through a stop sign then into a ditch. He came out of the ditch airborne and hit a 3-foot sewer pipe that hadn't been buried yet which was about 10 feet beyond the ditch. This shot the car up into the air endowing for about 20 yards where it hit the tree 12 feet off the ground on the passenger side. He was ejected while the car was endowing before it hit the tree. The car was a Subaru XT. Most of the dash was also ejected from the car and part of a branch was driven through the plastic bumper & radiator at an upward angle where it ripped the intake manifold right off the engine. I found glass and other parts over 150 feet down range. There were 4 of those big a$$ sewer pipes, they're like 20 feet long, laying side by side. They had been moved about 5 feet.

Thank God no one else was in the car with him or another car going through the intersection when he got there...
Oh yea this happened on Friday October 13th 1995 at between 12 and 1:00am.
