This is a problem.

Teenage son or wife?

Pro: Everyone OK
Con: Car is probably toast.

Yeah, that’s not good at all. When my wife’s G37x was totaled last year it showed less obvious damage than that, though that was in the rear and the car was worth less.

I’m impressed by that damage pattern. Retaining wall?

Well you were looking to buy a new car...
At least it did its job and protected the driver.

boop (glad she is OK!)

Bummer. Glad she’s ok!

is she ok?

Well, that’s not gonna buff out. Glad Mrs. IM is ok, though.

Looks like the crumple zones did their job.

Damn! Glad she’s OK! You don’t have very good luck with DDs :(

That’s not gone well.

Maybe look at the used market for her next car? A mid-2000s Volvo, Lexus, or Infiniti can be acquired for relatively cheap, still provide safety, and avoid the financial hit of a new car. Plus, they’re still luxury cars, with plenty of accessories and features.

Definitely glad she was ok. Sorry about the car, and the dent in the wallet for sure.
My wife commutes in a Mini and while she loves her car, it’s for sure not the most ideal thing to be sharing the road with all the big cars out there... again, glad she’s OK and hopefully insurance will help you out here.

I’m happy to hear she’s okay! <3 Modern car safety wins again!
And hopefully you can find a way out that isn’t too damaging financially. Maybe even be able to try out a different kind of safe highway miler for her! :)

Send the CVT my way, I think I might have to get mine changed again....

Bloody hell, that’s a ding and a half.
![]() 02/08/2019 at 20:20 |

While this certainly blows...you had insurance, right? Although a bit of a sucky financial place, hopefully you’ll be compensated.
Glad she’s okay, perhaps you should recommend she find a job where she can work from home.

The thing that surprised me a bit was that the QX60 (
?, I can’t keep Infiniti models straight anymore...
) doesn’t have a knee airbag. I would not have guessed that. Either that, or it did not deploy.

ouch. those headlight are surprisingly resilient though...

Passenger side one looks to have a big hole in it. I was surprised that the driver’s side doesn’t appear to be damaged, though it would be easy to miss a crash on the edge.

Minis are actually pretty robust. Strong boxes that turn into soccer balls in a crash.

damn, damn, damnnn. That’s totaled .
![]() 02/08/2019 at 20:48 |

Dang.
Glad she’s ok, Glad she’s ok, Glad she’s ok, keep repeating as needed..

OH FUCK. Other driver injured or claiming injuries?
![]() 02/08/2019 at 20:57 |

It was because she was eating peanut M&Ms while driving.....
![]() 02/08/2019 at 20:59 |

That’s the way it looks, and feels, but still. She’s a very careful driver, so that’s how I sleep at night, so to speak.

Well shit. Sorry man :(
![]() 02/08/2019 at 21:07 |

Man, this has been quite the week for you, huh?
I’m glad she’s okay. I hope sorting out all the aftermath doesn’t suck too bad.
![]() 02/08/2019 at 21:09 |

Man, I’m sorry. No question about this.

Time for another GTI!
Did this QX60 have AEB?

Oh man, I’m sorry to see this.

That sucks!
I am sure insurance will fix it though. That’s what it is for.

ice and advil... crumple zone and airbag did what they were designed to do

Dude, front and back, that is one carfax report......
![]() 02/08/2019 at 22:27 |

Glad to hear she's ok. Just looking at the damage on the front fenders near the base of the A pillars makes me think the frame rails are shot enough that it might get totalled out.

I can offer you a Kia Forte for $9KUSD. Plus, no AC in SoCal , as penance for what she has done.
![]() 02/08/2019 at 23:16 |

Fix it and sell it.
![]() 02/08/2019 at 23:21 |

Yeah I’m guessing that’s a total looks like structural. Car did it’s job though and nobody got hurt. Still sucks though. My thoughts are with you. Hopefully everything will work out as ok as these things can.

the way i see it, your Infiniti is now your insurance companies problem.
so long as she is fine, that’s what matters.
tell her to use public transport for a day.
:P
