dude that rocks! how did you flip the j-car i cant get mine on 2 wheels to save my life..lol im glad your ok man your lucky well not really lucky b/c all j-cars have a helper ghost, and yes the helper ghost is the same one that rolls your windows up and down without any buttons being pressed and it doesnt like radio either..

can you sale some parts off of it???

[driverdriver]

11 year old car, 148K miles, unfortunatly insurance won't give you much for it. My advice take whatever they will give and the car, you can recoup some cash by selling the parts on the J.

I'm glad your okay.

You did something good in your life.. that car saved you... I can only imagine if the roof caved in.. Go out and live a lot more now that you have a new lease...

[carlos_knology]

Man, that's terrible news about the car but you are lucky you didn't get hurt.

Looks like it happened in the middle of nowhere. Could have been bad had you been hurt inside that car off in the middle of the desert.

Sorry about the car but it's just a car. You'll own many more cars. I wish you some more luck.

Amen to that! It's a shame that it happened, but you are very fortunate to walk away from it.

Ah...I see the gravel was off-road! J30 no good for that, other than protecting the occupants.

Glad you didn't have to pay too severely for that excursion.

[Jesda]

Holy @#$@! Glad youre alive. Thats not just a car, its a solid padded room on wheels.

[LuvMyJ]

wow! thanks for posting the pics. man, i hate to see a J lookin like that, but if you're gonna go out rolling your car over in the desert i guess the J is the car to do it in. glad to hear you're OK! if you look around a little i'm sure you can find another one to replace it; the important thing is that you're still here to do the looking. keep us posted if you decide to sell any parts.

[chaotic]

i dunno if i can sell the partsi live on camp pendleton and the car is a total loss .. i really dont know if there is anything to sell off.. every piece of car was trashed... i wish i would of took more pics.. yes it was in the middle of nowhere.. and man its was no mans land...

[AZhitman]

chaotic - Glad you're OK!

Sorry about the J, it was a pretty ride.

The J has an interesting statistic - LEAST fatalitis per accident for any car (nice, huh?)

Old-school NICO member jpalm rolled his EIGHT TIMES (yes, 8) off a GA freeway (he's like 6'4" and over 250 lbs IIRC) and he walked away, the doors still opened!

[PalmerWMD]

Sorry to hear about your J..

But at least you are ok:)

J30's have a history of saving their owners lives even in bad accidents.

Right now there are some awesome used Q45's FS on this forum, do a search here on Infiniti General and our NICO Cars FS forum.

[cnickk]

you had to be going over 100

[prigo]

Dude, I can attest, that nissan products wreck well. Glad to see you're ok.

Switch to AWD, you won't slide as much

[574-240sx]

Glad to see you are ok. My 240 saved my life last year, about this time when I slid off the road.

[SDRonEbay]

You are a blessed man. Glad you made it out of that one.

[IvoryJ30t]

glad to see you made it out uninjured.

stories like this just let me know that im making a good decision on project J.

that car took one hell of a beating and delivered you unharmed.

a J30 with a roll cage would be the safest place to be in the world.

[IvoryJ30t]

you had to be going over 100

look at the scenery in the background. my right foot would have made a dent in the floopan.

[metaverse3]

Yes..My wife walked away from this one..

[mersidoe]

Wow...you're lucky to have walked away from that one. Hope you didn' t have to wait too long for someone to find you. Sorry you lost your J, but it died a valiant death.
