Got New Max!

Thanksgiving night I totalled my white 97SE by driving it into a ditch/tree after swirving off the road to miss someone that pulled right out in front of me on a 2 lane road, & I just got another one this week almost just like it. The old one had tan interior and was an autotragic, but the new one is (finally) black interior w/ 5spd. The wreck dislocated my right hip when my leg hit the dash & got my new intake, Optima battery, could not get the front 2 brand new tires off, front doors wouldn't open so I couldn't even get my amp wires out or my stereo, and I had just filled the tank up that night

Oh well, I got a new ride now so I guess it's time to start modding it. I should have pics of my wrecked max and the new one in a few days.

Soo...did you get a new Max or is your thread title misleading?

Did the person that pulled out in front of you stop or keep going?

Yes... I said I got a BETTER maxima.

No, the person that pulled in front of me didn't even stop when he saw me fly into the ditch. I could not even find my cell phone(it had fallen down by the gas pedal) so I had to wait until someone else called the police/ambulance & yes I got a careless driving ticket that I will be taking to court.

I even fell off the top of my car after I crawled out of the sunroof with my hip out of place so bad my right kneecap was turned almost facing my left leg!

Ouch..glad to hear you are OK. Why the heck would the police give you a careless driving ticket? They didn't believe somone pulled out in front of you?

Congrats on the new Max by the way.

Wow, sorry to hear about your accident and that ridiculous ticket. Congratulations on your new Max though! Is the new one a 97 as well?

people like that that just drive off should be shot in my opinion or at least have their license taken away and car sold for being cold heartless dic*heads. And the latter portion is getting off easy in my opinion.
