Glad you're ok. Looks like the car did a great job protecting you. What tires do you have?

WOW!. First off, glad you are ok! That looks scary! HOWEVER, wishing you luck on looking for a new ride, that would be great if you can stay in the Nissan family, definitely in the Coupe club...(no offense sedans!)

We'll be anxiously awaiting the replacement car news!

[chrispizzitola]

wow im surprised that they totaled it out from the looks of it in the picture it doesn't look totaled

[sammyboy]

I'm glad you are alive bro. Sucks that you lost the car

What cars are you considering? Have you looked at anything yet? How much will you have to spend?

[BLKmomba1]

Yea i f***in miss the s*** outa my coupe.... seriously like im goin cold turkey n s***. but im filtering stuff down... from my origional chioces from before i decided the coupe.. my choices were the G35 or 37 if affordable, audi A4, chevy trailblazer SS, and one of the new subaru legaci's, and if none of the choices work.. ill hold onto my gear from the coupe and get a 4door alti sedan possibly, im thinkin more in terms of family n friends riding with me now. im going to chevy to check out a few trailblazer SS's in about a week. figure i could do the big truck thing for a few years. any suggestions?

[XenonSE-R]

Glad you're ok man. Seems like the car protected you well even though it's totalled. That's the way it's supposed to work - car should break before you do.

If you're in the sedan range - there are a lot of affordable g35 sedans out there. I don't know how much you want to spend, but you'll more than likely HATE the gas mileage in that Trailblazer SS. My buddy had one and got about 12-14 mpgs out of it around town consistently. I'm sure you were doing twice that with your Altima, so keep that in mind. They're sick though and they'll move pretty well with that LS V8 in em.

If you're under 25, the insurance will SUCK on all your choices listed except the subaru. (your list is very similar to what mine was save the trailblazer - I had a WRX on my list and I even scaled back to a regular impreza and the insurance still sucked, but the legacy isn't bad at all)

The maintenance on a G37S is a lot to keep up with. If you find a used base G37 coupe it won't be as bad. The S comes with the 19s and the LSD - You have to change the differential fluid for the LSD every couple oil changes, plus you can't rotate tires due to them being staggered and uni-directional, and the bridgestones will only last around 15,000 miles a set, and they cost over $1000 for the rear pair. I drive almost 30,000 miles a year, so this wasn't an option for me obviously. lol

Sorry about your car. Not to sound like an old man, but be smart about your next purchase. Speaking from experience - it'll be easy to impulse buy when you're without a ride. Make sure to do your homework on the ins and outs of everything that comes with your picks (insurance, gas, maint., etc) so you're not driving back and forth to work just to be able to afford driving back and forth to work. A new car is fun but better when you can go out and have fun with it

[BLKmomba1]

that was the best advice anyone has given me in a while about the car situation. thanks man. im a 2 day a week driver... work in manhattan n take the train so the gas thing isnt too much of a issue. but im gonna keep all this in mind. thanks dude and its appreciated! im tryin and this shyt is hard as f***! lol

[2008AltiCoupeDan]

damn- thats hardcore- glad to c ur ok

totally a total- esp w/ a sort of tbone like that. frame is prob bent to shyt. get a leaf and get sum sponsors to mod it for ya :D

[alphapig]

wow im surprised that they totaled it out from the looks of it in the picture it doesn't look totaled

If it was just the door that was damaged I'm sure it could be replaced.

You can see from the picture that there's frame damage though, which is usually instant total for insurance companies
