if it was yours, get a better color than white next time.
that is a shame though, less than 1K miles. They are arguabley the best looking sedans on the road today. freakin beautiful.... just throw a MF ing 6 spd tranny in there.

Damn, it looks like a Mack truck plowed into it going 50mph. Maybe the car parked or wasn't turned on when the accident happened, disabling the airbags... It did hold up well though.

As of yesterday, Carlos was still driving his nice Icelandic Pearl (similar to Frost White) '03 SE (which he just finished paying off), and it looked to be in mint condition. He was planning on going in for an oil change, and worried he might be overly tempted by the '09. This wrecked '09 may be sitting on his dealer's back lot.
As for the air bags, unless there is a serious front or rear impact, the front airbags should not deploy. From the angle these photos were taken,it is difficult to see if the seat and curtain airbags on the right side of the car deployed. They certainly should have. The purpose in only deploying the bags the sensors indicate are needed is to reduce the chance of injury from the forceful deployment of bags that would probably serve no real purpose in that particular accident, and because each unneeded bag that deploys adds a ton of money to the repair bill (which in this case is irrelevent).

By the way, my 03 SE is Glacier Pearl not Icelandic Pearl...LOL.

What's even scarier is....that is my dream Maxima (Color Combo/Package wise)!! If I were to go out today and buy a new Maxima it would be the Winter Frost with the Charcoal Leather interior!! Yikes...makes me think twice about getting the same exact one....maybe I can get one with the pano roof then since this one didn't have it.....

Dam that sucks, from working at a auction just like the one that the car is at, either the tow truck driver ripped them out before towing the car(safety reason) or the people checking the car in ripped them out, or maybe they just didnt deploy. Oh on a side note that yellow front loader in one of the pics is how we moved the cars around basically a giant forklift
