Is that a Maxima?!

asma123 · 11-01-2009, 07:08 PM

looks like a 2k maxima. never seen this video though

zidave · 11-01-2009, 07:11 PM

Sad video....almost made me cry.

Skunk83 · 11-01-2009, 07:12 PM

That is what I thought too! Shaw!

Revs2Hard · 11-01-2009, 07:23 PM

Has anyone noticed the badgeless grill? (real good shot at 15 sec)

They didnt get permission to use the nissan name so they had to take it off. I E-mailed them to ask what junk yard it went to, so I could get the grill. They E-Mailed me back, they didnt know but there prity sure the car was crushed. Sad day for the 5spd SE base model with the best 5th gen grill ever.

poor thing, it would have had a much better purpose in the hands of a good owner and a part of our family =[

I like how it has hubcaps when hes cruising along then he gets hit he has the se wheels. lol

*DrunkieTheBear* · 11-01-2009, 09:23 PM

oh well...its a commercial...its just car.

and the grille was probably video editing.

Rhyno02 · 11-01-2009, 09:49 PM

You can get that grill on E-bay (for the 02-03's anyway), it may not be exact but it's close. I just searched for "maxima jdm grill" Here's the link, hope it works...

yeah no...

02-03 grilles do not fit in the 00-01 bumpers

In most of the all state commercials they crashed like 3 different Nissans. 1 Maxx 1 Altima 1 Pathfinder.. Whats up with that?

1997MAXZ · 11-02-2009, 06:17 AM

I saw that video this week end on tv, he got blasted, glad ive never got in a crash that bad , knock on wood.

bigpopaj369 · 11-02-2009, 07:23 AM

when i see it i get mad they wasted a good car! i was yelling dibbs on parts haha

nzelinsky · 11-02-2009, 05:19 PM

LOL I guess alstate has something against nissan if they like to wreck them so much... such a waste, why wouldnt they just crash a civic or something worth killing?

We have a show called Canada's worst driver... In the first episode of this season they let these morons drive a RR through an obstacle course of steel rims... it started in mint condition and was a heap of scrab after those people were through with it... I had a tear in my eye for sure watching that

denny_1986 · 11-02-2009, 05:37 PM

is the color majestic blue?
i thought 2ks and 2k1s didn't come with that color

edit: nvm looking at the sigs above, i am obviously wrong

Grand_hustle17 · 11-02-2009, 05:54 PM

dibs on the whole car

NS2_95MAX · 11-09-2009, 01:21 PM

its like faces of death for cars, skunk you trying to make people sick??

TeH BawNeY · 11-10-2009, 08:40 AM

What a waste of a good car. I would have traded them my auto for their 5 speed and they can crush my car. That way everyone wins! =]

Could also be painted tape. (Black and silver placed appropriately to give the appearance of having no emblem.)

Sometimes for these uses, the car will be FUBAR before they ever buy it with intent to crash it. (i.e. theft recovery / flood damaged and declared a total loss by insurance). They just clean it up a little. Or it's already wrecked on the side you can't see. I suspect either of those reasons is the case (which is why you see two different Maximas with different wheels in the commercial...it's because one doesn't run.)

Saves them a lot of money and the car might be headed to a scrapyard anyway. They rarely use a perfect car.

very true

FanaticMadMax · 11-11-2009, 08:24 AM

OY, another helpless nissan Maxima, why do they always pick the car to crush? they could have went with Accord or put the worse car out there, let say.....KIA
