A sad day....

[M45inATL]

Its been a while since I last posted and I am saddened to return with this news. I wrecked my 03 M45 yesterday. Not sure if its totaled, if it is, I will find out the junkyard they put it in so you guys can get salvage parts if you need them. Not sure I will be getting another one either...if Infiniti only made a pickup...

Oh no..

I take it you're OK and the car was the only casualty?

[szh]

Ouch! Sad indeed!

I hope you are okay. Cars can be replaced, but body parts are not as easy.

At least you are okay. Hey at least you have a new car to look forward to. (sorry just trying to remain positive)

[M45inATL]

I appreciate it, yeah I am fine and thankful for that. Just a stiff neck this morning. But a new car will definitely be welcomed.

sorry to hear it. what happened ?

[M45inATL]

Its kind of tough to explain without drawing a picture, but I will give it a shot anyway. I was at a T-intersection making a left onto what would be the cross of the T. There is a turn lane for the the people making a right onto the road I was about to turn off of. A large truck was making a right and was completely blocking a van behind it. I pulled out thinking the intersection was clear and T-Boned the van. I was cited with "failure to yield right of way". I did everything I should have done...stopped waited for all the traffic to clear and thought I had it no problem, I wasn't flooring it to get out in front of somebody, I just thought I was making a safe turn.

Its a bad intersection, in the hour it took for the police to write the report, 6 cars had to slam on their brakes and/or swerve to miss traffic other than us. I will hopefully start the process for getting a much needed light or 3 way stop there.

Its totaled gang. I don't know where its going if you are interested in parts. I will keep you updated though. How many people on here in or around Atlanta?

[cremecreme]

I am near Atlanta....in SC it ain't that far to drive for some good parts

[mrmark]

....damn....glad you're OK. Not many 1st Gen M45's on the road these days.

I am interested in the stock front grill .... drop me an email at [email protected]

[M45inATL]

Well all they would tell me that it is in a Progressive salvage yard in Winder, GA. Best of luck, I wish I had more to give. The front grill was broken. The interior is perfect minus the airbags deploying. The from the A-pillars and back should be fine on the body. Its the gold color, I know there weren't many of those but hopefully somebody will find something of use out of it.

Enjoy your M's and don't take them for granted!
