I got a call last night from one of my friends who said he saw my car driving on the freeway. Turns out it was my White Maxima that got totalled back in December. It had the clear signals, my white TFS sticker and the 5% tint on it. It even had the same license plate. He said the car didn't look like it was in a wreck at all. It must have been repaired recently if they were still driving around with my sticker on it. Needless to say it was kind of weird. I feel sorry to whoever got that car, it had $12,500 worth of damage to it when they totaled it out.

some body shops can work magic...it probably looks like the way when you first got it...

i got into a little scrape in december and you can't tell it was worked on...it looks even better because they took some little dents and scratches out that were there before the accident!

Ever wonder where those crash test cars go after their tested? To your local showroom floor...well not exactly. They get sold on the auction block and are usually repaired by a body shop and resold...almost brand new...sorta...
