Moment Of Silence Please...

Ended up in an accident with my Max last night... I'm okay, but
not sure about the Max tho...

I had to switch lanes from a car pulling out in front of me and there
was a car in the other lane waiting for a car to turn left and there
was nothing I could do... it was raining and I almost swear I actually
picked up speed when I applied the brakes.

I ended up rear ending the car in front of me... albeit I hit the car
at only 5-10MPH, there is still quite a bit of damage.

The front end of my car was nose diving so it didn't hit the bumper
except just to scratch the top of it so the unibody frame rails are
okay, but I will be needing quite a few parts (grill, right headlight,
both headlight buckets, center support, right fender, hood, hood
latch, radiator, right side marker light, & condenseser, whew!).

I'll have to remove most of the front sheet metal, cut & weld in a
replacement front radiator support, then reassemble the car.

Just what I needed!

Yeah, but on a positive note, the tail lights look (and work) really great!

hahahhaha...good, let me know if you need anything else. The two wagons at the junk yard are grey in color. If for some reason you do decide to get rid of the car then I would like to call dibs on the stanza TB.

Well, it looks like we will be selling the Maxima...

My father-in-law gave us one of his cars, a 91 Mercury Sable
wagon... yes, a Mercury wagon!

There's less than 5K miles on the engine and tranny and for
all the headache with the Nissan repair, I just don't have the
time to mess with it right now.

So, I will have a few parts up for sale either here or Ebay...

I just picked up six new injectors from Ebay that haven't even
arrived yet... if anyone's interested, $75 + shipping (it's what
I have in them).

More parts to come...
