After an elk hit my Accord I got a ride from a friend that had one about the same age, but you could hardly tell. It looked like it had been through a string of owners that had gone out of their way to ruin it. I also talked to a girl that owned an Altima like the one that I owned. I loved mine, she hated hers.
I think that a lot of it is attitude. She is probably just a jerk!
