Same thing happened to me about 3 years ago. I was renting an Xterra for the weekend and was in that 12 car pile up on 75 ( big sheet of black ice). I was ok and had not been hit, so i pulled over to the left ( next to the wall) and all the sudden a car smashes into the back of me. It put a decent dent in my bumper, but completely destroyed the dudes front end. His engine was actually laying on the ground. that right there sold me on Nissan, now I own a Pathfinder and couldn't be happier.

Did you get in trouble for stopping there?

No, I was trying to avoid the 11 other cars crashing into eachother. I was right in the middle of everything, why would I get into trouble?

With my luck i would have been cited for pulling over and stopping there if i hadn't been involved in the pile up.

With me getting hit from behind, I guess I was technically involved.

I had a titan 4x4 and it got 14-16mpg. None of them are as good as Toyotas but the nissans are pretty good. I will stick with my tacoma though.

I bought a nissan new in 93 PU. Still have it and running the same plugs from day one. Truck runs great and the only problems I have had other than routine mantiance are altenator and drive shaft. Only thing I have had done to it is a timing chain at 120k. it now has over 170K not bad for a 93 i guess. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
On another note, my son has a 08 Titan and was involved in a crash on Hickory Valley last yr. He rearended a Chevy Tahoe. 5k Damage to his front end and 0 damage to the Tahoe.
I guess most times, the vehicle what gets rearended comes out better in most cases, unless they are unmatched in size. Crash occured less than 35 miles MPH.
