I went to Super Target to get some groceries and on the way home... [b][red]BAM![/red][/b]
This is the second time this car has been rear ended and I think it's a sign that I should get rid of it. I just got this car out of the shop for multiple problems and it has since developed more problems. Maybe we should take it to ETH's farm and sacrifice it to the Gods of Smokeless Powder.

After reading the title of this post and knowing your sense of humor and "yo mad photoshopping skilz", I must say, I am disappointed. [:(]
On topic though, I just went through the same thing, crash after crash in the same vehicle. It must be sacrificed. |

It is a sign, Bunghole. Get the insurance money, sell this car, and get a new one. |
|
I think I'm going to use the insurance money to get a motorcycle since I still have the truck (upper right in pic).

I had a car like that in 1988. Got hit head on once and T-boned once. After getting fixed the second time, I sold it. Not another wreck until about a year ago when I got T-boned again by a pickup that ran a red light.

I thought for sure this was a new Pam Anderson home video or maybe a story of the time someone got a free overnight stay in the county jail.

bunghole
My wife and I went to Ft Worth yesterday, We saw 6 wrecks on our trip. All of them were on I-635. 2 on the way there. on the way back. We were stuck in traffic coming up on a wreck involving a tanker truck and BAM, I heard some commotion and see a jeep spinning 6 TIMES and come to a stop. They were ok, we see them get out. Get closer to home and see the other two. Dallas area drivers suck. Glad your ok. |

Take it from a mechanic, Bunger, that car is financial suicide waiting to happen. The Altima is one of the worst cars out there.

Hey, I know the feeling! Totaled my service van last month and just did settle with the insurance company.
Seems like every 3 years I've got to do some kind of major damage to a vehicle. Atleast you don't have a car like my brother had once. It was a possessed Mazda. The accelerator would go to the floor when he'd come to a stop sign or a red light. Then one day, he was going down the freeway and started feeling drowsy all of a sudden and realized he was getting CO inside the car. Had electric windows and when he went to roll them down...nothing! So he pulled over to get out of the car...and couldn't get the electric locks to open. Finally had to kick the windows out. When I asked him why he didn't just unlock the doors manually he said, "Man, I was so F-ed up I didn't even think about it. I just wanted to get the hell out of that car before it killed me!" Good luck with your next car! |

[:D] glad you're ok, did you get checked? For whiplash? you know, your neck? aw heck, forget it, I can't help but screw this up...... |

I'm fine. The kid that hit me was in a Ford Ranger and he hit me at about 5 mph. He didn't have any damage to his truck. The reason my car got so fucked up is probably because it was lowered 1.75". The truck bumper rode right over mine.
Hey Sweep, the first time I got rear ended was in Hot Springs AR (boyhood home of Bill Clinton). It did alot more damage than todays accident. When it was running exhaust fumes would come in through the trunk. I had to drive all the way back to Ft Worth with all of the windows down and the sunroof open. That sucked! |

Doesn't look too bad. Tailight, a new bumber and hood. You're good to go. Of course with those plastic Jap cars you might have frame damage.

Someone in a little Nissen once challenged my Ford F-150. His car was totaled with the whole driver's side caved in, mine had a scuffed bumper guard and a nasty scratch on the chrome trim around the wheel well.

View Quote Have you heard all the crapola about how people with trucks should pay more because the chintzy lightweight compacts get damaged more when they hit a real vehicle? |

Quoted: I agree, buy American you jap Commie. Bunghole got cornholed. View Quote I'm confused. Do you mean buy American cars with parts made in foriegn countries, or foriegn cars made here in America? |

Bad Day For Nissan Altimas!
While both backing out of parking spaces, we both "Rear Ended" each other... The Nissan was almost brand new, and I was driving a POS 1990 Chevy S10 Rustbucket... What a coincidence! I stopped backing up to check if a child was no longer on my left side, and took my eyes off my back bumper for only 1 second, and felt a *BUMP*. However, in retrospect, I think that I am more glad that I checked to watch for the little boy first... |

It's not the fact that it's Japanese. It's not even the fact that it's a Nissan. But it's an ALTIMA. [V]
The line between foreign and domestic cars has blurred considerably, so buy whatever you want to replace it. Why aren't all you dorks yelling commie over on that other thread where everyone's going "BUY GERMAN!!" [rolleyes] |
