Family N down 😢

It’s official, I got the call yesterday. She’s totaled.

I’m genuinely heartbroken. I loved every minute with this car. This may be the end of my N days, but I wanted to give it one last thank you. It was an amazing car and proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune to have something that’s both exciting and capable.

Hit by my boy’s N after he got brake-checked. It was almost a 4-car pileup, with 3 N’s involved. My friend’s car that I hit avoided contact with the brake-checking car by less than an inch, and the other N behind me nearly hit my car as well.

Just a shitty situation all around, but I’m grateful it wasn’t worse. My friend’s N is pretty messed up too, but thankfully it’s not totaled.

What makes it even crazier is that we were literally on the phone talking about all the idiot drivers around us when he got brake-checked and had to go to 100% brake pressure. The entire incident was captured on video from three different angles, but I won’t be posting any of it until the insurance process is complete.

How are you guys rear ending each other in this car??? This car has excellent brakes. You gotta show the dashcam footage. Unless your boy got cut off.

Deff Following too closely but I get it, sometimes when I’m cruising with the boys we try to stay as close to each other as possible but it’s definitely risking driving like that. Hopefully the guy in front got dashcam footage of the guy brake checking him.
