Europponauts already know this, but a few weeks ago I’ve totaled Maxitwingo aka the Espaceship.
Maxitwingo shortly after Europpomeet 2017
Can you spot the Minivan?
Minutes after the fatal impact...
I killed it, but life goes on, and after over 300.000km of faithful service it has long proven its worth. Rest in pieces, literally.
In my previous Oppo post I contemplated buying a 1993 Nissan Maxima. I did in fact end up buying a Maxima this weekend, not a ‘93, but a ‘95 QX.
Its a 2.0L V6 SE 5-speed, very red and very well taken care of by its previous owner who sadly passed away recently. Barely 103.000km, and with a full set of nearly new summer and winter tires included in the price of €2,000. I will receive the keys to it on Saturday, expect updates by then. Lest it not meet a far too early demise like Maxitwingo.

Congratulations! Amazing that that seemingly tiny impact set off the airbags in the Espaceship

That little dent wrote off your car?

Impact was severe enough to deploy the airbags and practially wreck the entire front end despite seemingly minor appearances.

I don’t even. Chef now forces me to work from 8am to 7pm, I am caught up in an eternal soap opera between my parents, my dad is going to murder me once he finds out I’ve replaced the Espace instead of repairing it, etc. The usual bullshit.

Why did that total it? Frame damage I’m guessing?

Your life seems to reflect mine at times. It’ll get better man, it’ll get better.....
