Jay, will the insurance guys be replacing your vehicle? Sounds like you've been stiffed here....

Of course, in the grand scheme of things, there is far worse to be done then being stiffed by the insurance thugs.

Like, being stiffed by your hairy - and yet oddly affectionate - cell-mate Bob.

Daryus, at the moment, I am getting nothing from his cut rate insurance. In fact, I had to call his insurance to report the incident...he did not, I guess expecting a magic wand to wipe his kid's blunder away.

Anyway, I called them, got a report number which I need to give to slugs who work for my insurance. They are the types who seem to think that sitting on their butt drinking coffee is investigating the matter.

Ahem.

I won't know till next Monday, I should imagine since they only work on weekdays cause no one has any business driving a car on any other day of the week...if they decide to total it. THEN I have to wait for the slugs from his insurance to give me crud about the accident and all that.

Like I said, it's a big old bundle of fun.

You did call the cops when it happened, right?

*smiles* I must be the luckiest woman alive when it comes to Insurance Companies, because mine has been GREAT! I've got multiple open claims on them, I've HAD claims in the past, and they've yet to drop me, stiff me, give me a hard time, or even raise my rates....

If only all companies could be like that.......... :-P

Well well...the person involved in the accident (read me) GOT A NEW CAR TODAY!

WHOO HOOO!!! *new car dance*

It is, to be more accurate a 2001 Honda Civic EX...which has, other than a satellite dish, most everything a boy could want from a car. AND a whole new car payment to boot! I am now capable of moving in and around the urban megalopolis that is Los Angeles free from the Kia Sportage that I was renting. *shudder*

This in the very least ends that particular chapter in the Book Of The Accident. We ended another when the other person's (read slug who hit me) insurance accepted liability. However, and isn't there is always a however, they are giving me some sort of run around about paying $2500 for the car. Which is not the amount my insurance company totaled it for...which is as I recall something like $3,100 or so. There seems to be a difference there.

All of which brings us to a whole new chapter in the saga.

$2500?

That's not much.

How much did you pay for your old car?
