On the way dropping the kids off to school this am i was at a stand still on I-575 look up and here comes an 02 Nissan Maxima with the driver asleep! :sleepy: one second later BAM! direct hit. Kids and i are ok going to doc to make sure this afternoon. the MM Looks pretty bad no est yet Tweeked the driver seat and bent the steering wheel and much damage to rear bumper and trunk pan i think only paint work will be rear bumper cover only. i reset the fuel switch and drove it home and left it in the garage :cry:. The Maxima did get towed off :rock: . I am as you may know very dissapointed not 100% sure i will keep her they are just never the same after being hit! IMHO but a silver MM should be easy to sell? and i will buy a 04 MM. The one funny part my 8 year old son Daniel said just seconds after the hit "WHAT THE HELL" i did laugh to my-self. :shake:

Oh...man...I am SO sorry to hear this...but as always glad to hear you and the children are alright.

Be sure you let Team Collision (Team Ford of Marietta) fix it if you want to keep it, or have it right to sell. call Tom @(770) 794-0299 and tell him Todd Fisher sent you.

Wow man, stupid drivers should just run into a few more trees or something. How dare he defile a beautiful piece of Mercury! Sorry to hear about that. At least you're not going to run off and get something stupid like a...cough...Maxima;)

Glad to hear you're all OK. At the least your MM stood up and can say "you should see the other guy". Best of luck in whatever you decide to do. :up:

A testament to the Marauder. No one's been seriously hurt in her yet!

Good that everyone's A-OK, and it was still drivable.

REALLY glad to hear everyone's okay. That's why I bought this car... if this ever has to happen to me, I WANT to be able to hear my son say "what the hell" immediately after such an impact, if you catch my drift.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. The Maxima was going an est 35 to 40 mph when the MM played reverse line blocker :lol: . I will try to post some photos of the MM very soon!

But but but. . . they hurt my eyes! But I'm sure that everyone has that morbid curiosity . . .

Ah man! That's one of my big fears - getting hit and messing up my bodacious vehicle.

It's at times like this you need to get a reality check. First, be thankful the family is alright. Second, it's only an automobile and can be replaced. Get a new one and don't look back. My two cents. Good luck.

Damn, sorry to hear about this, SILVERMARAUDER. As you can probably understand, ever since my accident I just cringe when I see subjects like this pop up.

It's worth trying to save her, I think, if the damage isn't too bad. My car is back in great shape and even though it was only sheet metal damage on my car it still totalled $15k worth of damage (including labor costs).

Glad you and your children are ok. I think the sleeping Maxima driver is lucky you didn't get out and re-arrange his anatomy for him, personally.

Good that everyone's A-OK, and it was still drivable.Yes! I saw a Marquis broadside a Camry once. Dude in the Camry was carried out on a stretcher, his car was REALLY messed up, looked like half what it used to be. But the guy in the Marquis was taking a police report. The GM had a bumper missing and from the headlights down, it was all pushed in about a foot. That's all!

No! Ask marauderman!Yeah, for real.

SILVERMARAUDER - I am also glad to see no one was hurt. I would definitely check out TAF's body shop. He was well satisifed with his repairs. :(

My LEO buddies worry about me cause of it too.....not a problem..it's ( my MM baby) in the body shop getting a rear top bumper re-paint today and I've got the tire marked and last mileage written down--told'um ==anyone moved my baby outta here for anything beyond paint--meets my hipster.....stopped by today to see results on paint job--MM hasn't moved but the necessary 20 feet ....I'm a diff guy now=--no more giving in or mr nice guy crap..too much $$ tied up in her for one...enuff said..they got the pic...

I think you can load them into the gallery without resizing. Then I think you can post a link.
