ok guys today was a bad day for me. got up to go to school today and taking the exit off of whitemud drive into anthony henday going northbound. car slipped tried to control it but no use, car hit the light pole. it missed me by about 15 to 18 inches. hit the driver side rear door. the light pole broke right off the base, hit the roof of my car and then bounced off and hit my trunk.

i posted the pics on my cardomian profile.
checked it out its a sad day for me.

thats sucks bro...it was a nice max......if u selling ur rims i would love to get them from u...as i live in Vancouver....

raziq... I am sorry for your situation. Hope you are ok. That was some good driving though... most people would have hit the light standard on the front of the car and taken out the front end.

If you are parting... shoot me a pm and I might pick up some stuff from you. lmk.

Take care.

Damn that 1 was pretty clean. Glad your ok. The car can always be replaced, but your life can't.

raziq_afg · 02-27-2009, 03:56 PM

thank you guys.

u know its funny everyone kept telling me to get a new car but i liked the maxima so much that i just kept fixing it, i just replaced the alternator and starter, replaced the serpetine belt, both front wheel bearings and both rear hubs, and the list just goes on and on. i m gonna hate to see my max go. i was actually planning to do a 5-speed swap this summer.

well i m happy that it didnt happen today, i had my second year apprenticeship exam today, if it were today i would have been screwed.

i do have some parts that i havent even installed yet so i think i will start getting rid of those first.

i m not getting any money for my car from my insurance company as i had liability on it. do u guys think i can sue the city for the damages? or how about would i go from here?

How fast were you goin? Or did you just happen to hit a spot of ice and just sliddd?

raziq_afg · 02-28-2009, 12:18 AM

i was going about 40 to 50km/hr. it was about -50000.00 degrees of celsius that day, and the roads were slippery, after i was there for about an hour then the cops and the fire dept and the ambulance showed up, and half an hour later the sand truck came. i was cold and pissed off.

phone this shop.... 66st. autobody ltd. 780.474.5078 Eddie Chan is the owner.

last time I was there he had three 95-6's in stock that he was wrecking. from the pictures your rear section looks to be ok. it's the door and some of the roof that is messed up.
Anyway... that shop offers full body repairs. He is going to paint my front clip AND stillen kit and install for 1600. Most body shops were 1000+ just for painting the kit and I had offers of up to 4300 to paint the front clip. just sayin. I don't know of anyone who has had work done there yet.

I doubt you would be able to get any compensation out of the city for your incident. Infact I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get a bill from EPCOR regarding replacing that light standard. They are pretty guarded about giving money away. I know from first hand experience regarding some pothole damages to my summer rims.

BTW... did you get a ticket? Did you have the car towed back to your house?

*maxTed out* · 02-28-2009, 07:39 AM

Did you have winter tires on?

mohsinkhan35 · 02-28-2009, 10:24 PM

Bad luck but its okay yaar ! I hope you are not hurt !

*MerlotMax* · 03-01-2009, 12:16 PM

Sorry to hear, at least your OK.

MaxFanatik · 03-01-2009, 03:42 PM

raziq_afg · 03-01-2009, 06:43 PM

no i didnt get a ticket, and i talked to my insurance they will cover for the damages to the light pole and everything.

i dont think i will fix it up. i m getting my brothers 99TL, in like 3 to 4 weeks, in the mean time i will be rollin in a 97 plymouth voyager, imbarassing but it will have to do in the mean time.

waiting for the 2009 VW GTI. Cause i work for VW i will get a killer deal on it. so i m thinking if i liked it i might go for it. wat do u guys think of the GTI.

raziq_afg · 03-01-2009, 06:46 PM

i m gonna see if i can get some clear pics with my phone, if i could, i have some stuff i wanna get ridd of as of now since they are not even installed on my car.

*JSMax* · 03-01-2009, 08:29 PM

2009 vw gti... drool.
5 door or 3?
tornado red ftw.

Seriously... give me a call first before you start your part out. My number is in your pm box.

raziq_afg · 03-01-2009, 08:58 PM

i wanna get the 3Door 6speed. still not sure as VW hasnt given alot of details about it.

Wat do u guys think about the GTI? i m going for GTI cause i m getting a deal from work not too sure about the long trem reliability, my other considerations are Civic SI coupe, mini cooper S, or VW Golf VI Diesel.

96blkonblkse · 03-03-2009, 11:43 PM

My friend has a 07 GTI. There fun, but im not a big fan of VW. Id take a new civic SI over one. Those things have some potential too, and get good gas mileage!!
