2K2 Maxima - ROAD TO DEATH!
My 2k2 Maxima went through hell and back. 5 flat tires, mechanical/electrical problems, etc. etc. Until finally it was crashed after 7 months of ownership.
Flat Tire Incident
When my car was new, for some reason, some prick decided to deflate my passenger side tires. Boy I was pissed. Fortunately, they let the air out, and not slashed. Had her towed to the gas station, filled her back up, no problems.

DEATH OF MY 2K2 MAXIMA!!
Well, I owned the car from May 2002 to January 30, 2003 (My FREAKIN BIRTHDAY). Car only had 32,000kms, and it was written off by the insurance company, with damages estimated @ 17,000 CDN.
This is what happened:
Accelerated from a light, reached about 90km/h (speed limit 80km/h) in the left lane of a two lane road. I see in a distance, a truck making a left in front of me, well he inches up but does not make the turn as he sees me coming. Well he waits and waits, and as I am going to pass him, he proceeds to make a turn in front. I tried to move to the right lane, however some lady made a right turn into that lane, so my choices were limited, so i decided to hit the truck. Airbags DID not deploy as the trucks frame was higher than the bumper. I walked away clean, no injuries (impact speed about 80km/h). Car was still running, and driveable, but later died as a result of harness being hacked. Insurance deemed it not my fault, therefore my premiums did not increase. So I bought a new 2k3 Nissan Maxima! Worked out perfect!
