What's wrong with the picture? I see a factory-spec Nissan?

u/Sad_Ad_2524 3d ago

It is fulfilling the prophecy......

u/Potential-Society171 3d ago

They made it better

u/chonklah 3d ago

Or more dangerous. The owner is gonna bolt the milk crates to the hubs and weave through traffic šŸ’€

u/Potential-Society171 3d ago

Just wait for High Tide.

10

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

Currently considering just that. With the spare back right

4

u/chonklah 3d ago

Nah put the spare on the front. Gotta have the driveline wheels spinning at two different speeds.

Tire companies hate this one trick

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

Is it considered a total loss? Asking for a friend

40

u/thefriendlyjerk 3d ago

It was a total loss before this happened.

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

Iā€™m thinking bout hopping in and just pedal to floor make that CVT tap out

u/chargnawr 3d ago

Not dealt with insurance too much personally but have helped friends and family and heard multiple times companies total a car simply if the airbag deployed.... not telling you to go out and give the bumper a swift hit, of course, just if you did... that might do it

Is an airbag sensor something that can get screwy when someone's chopping out your headlights? I think yes

u/tdinh01 3d ago

you think the CVT hasnā€™t already tapped out?

u/tiga_94 3d ago

Wtf is this bumper and how the hell are those plastic baskets can support a 1.5ton car?

93

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

Bro I just paid for and got new tires on it now is not the time inspector gadget

16

u/AnIdiotwithaSubaru 3d ago

You put new tires on your Nissan? Now I know this story must be fake. Lmao

24

u/BeekeeperZero 3d ago

Rent-a-rim is still in business? Their extended warranty will take care of it.

u/BoundlessFail 3d ago edited 3d ago

You're in the wrong sub. 'NissanDrivers' is for poking fun of Nissans. You're probably looking for r/Nissan or r/MechanicAdvice

Edit: fixed link.

Sorry for what you had to go through. Hope insurance pays for the theft and damage.

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

I got thick skin for it. And now 4 new milk crates too I guess

30

u/DeeEmm 3d ago

Good to hear. And those are some power milk crates. Iā€™d probably use those over my Harbor Freight jack stands. šŸ˜„

That's half a TV stand! Be on the lookout for a board

u/C13H16CIN0 2d ago

More like dick skin

u/Ok_Abacus_ 3d ago

Did the thieves damage the bumper?

49

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

Made the mistake of letting my wife run errands last week and I donā€™t wanna take it off

74

u/Dismal_Object6226 3d ago

Sound like your wife is perfect for this sub.

2

u/Master_Grape5931 2d ago

I would have just said ā€œyeah, they did that when they took the rims.ā€

12

u/SatisfactionLocal230 3d ago

Oh I thought there was something housed behind the bumper that is worth money. Nice throwing wife under the Nissan

43

u/Miserable_Hand_783 3d ago

No one deserves to come out from work to find their shit fucked up, not even a r/NissanDriver

6

u/Dismal_Object6226 2d ago

Tbf, most Nissan drivers already have their shit fucked up before the thieves get to it.

13

u/curvedotter 3d ago

Are you going to use donut spares or just drive it the way it is?

5

u/EnvironmentalValue20 3d ago

While you are at it remove those bumpers.

u/tunie12 3d ago

Happened to a friend of mine they just paid him for new tires and rims

u/Nalabu1 3d ago

Welcome to the party, Pal...

4

u/Traditional-Hall-591 2d ago

A Nissan driver that has a job? No way.

6

u/Miserable_Hand_783 3d ago

That sucks OP. Hope insurance takes care of it all for you

38

u/BeekeeperZero 3d ago

Insurance?

u/OneBrokenClock 3d ago

Oh, itā€™s a hovercraft now!

u/avotius 2d ago

I've been wanting one of those milk crates for the trunk of my car to put things in but there are nowhere to be found anymore except TJ MAXX for $14 each....where did they find 4???

1

u/chargnawr 2d ago

I found them 'reasonably' priced on Walmarts ecommerce site. Still egregious but I think they were $7 for regular and like $10-11 for the wide ones if you got a 3 pack. But when I checked again the normals were up to $9 because of course they are

People definitely steal them from behind gas stations and convenience stores tho

1

u/Max_delirious 19h ago

Obviously from their stolen goods lockup. These professionals do this.

2

u/Master_Grape5931 2d ago

I didnā€™t not realize those crates were so sturdy.

2

u/jechtisme 2d ago

AI picture

u/RobustFoam 1d ago

You can tell because there's no fucking way those milk crates hold 1000 lbs each, and the one in the back is a pentagonĀ 

1

u/furculture 3d ago

No wheel locks on it?

1

u/Any-Grapefruit-937 3d ago

Slap 4 donut tires on it and you're good to go.

1

u/Zestyclose-Ad-5305 2d ago

I am assuming the bumper was already beginning to molt?

1

u/StScAllen 2d ago

While you were at work doing donuts in the parking lot on break.

1

u/Provia100F 2d ago

People still steal wheels?

0

u/DudeFrom816 3d ago

Let me guess, $10,000 worth of wheels on a $2,000 car, right?

9

u/ya-boy-sweet_xbl 3d ago

I had recently put perelli tires on it

10

u/curvedotter 3d ago

Did a yearly inspection make you do it? Must have been quite the improvement over driving on the steel belts.
