The CZickness IV

[IndyGlockMan]

Some insurance companies try to pay out wholesale if they total out your vehicle. I was told by USAA not to except that sort of settlement. My car was paid for so if it is totaled I just want them to replace it with the same year, make and model. 2003 Jetta is what I've been driving.

Insurance companies don't replace anything, they don't fix anything, they just pay for stuff.
You'll get a check for a 2003 Jetta. They won't buy you another vehicle. Too much liability involved.
As far as the "wholesale" thing goes, they are supposed to pay what your vehicle is worth in whatever condition your vehicle is in with same mileage, etc... at the retail level.
if you car is a POS, they won't give you the same amount they would if it were in pristine condition.
The problem is most people think of their POS car as pristine and want full overblown Kelly Blue Book value and think they are being shafted when they don't get it.

I know better. The car was a POS, which is why I'm bummed. No way we'll get what we owe on it. Just checked and it may only be worth as little as $1600 plus tax

I don't expect them to go and buy me the car. Just give me a check for the total cost to replace it with the same make and model. No more, No less.

Wow Rusty! Looks like the buffing is going well.

Not been looking as I already have an SP-01 Phantom that went across the Wizards bench. He does my CZ's and I do his 1911's.

You might try cruising the 1500. We found a few CZ's for sale reasonably priced at the last one.
Call Beech Grove, Bradis, Plainfield shooting supply's (Bob's) and inquire.

Bob at PSS had a SP01 tactical about a month ago, if i remember correctly

Going really well. Trying a new process and products, I'm really impressed.

Stopped by the 1500 this afternoon for a quick trip and ran into CM and BA. I ended up picking up bullets for the M1 Carbine and 300 BO build as well as a set of 300 BO dies. I've already converted 10 .223 cases into 300 BO. It's kind of cool, making your own cases for an expensive cartridge out of one of the most abundant cases around.

There was a guy in the back room selling mil-surplus stuff cheap. Real cheap, as in $1 radio bags (handy for carrying 1500 booty), $2 admin kits, and $5 first aide kits. I should have bought more stuff to keep in the vehicles, but was challenged for ways to carry too much of it. Oddly, I forgot to actually look at guns. I don't think I picked up a single gun while there.

Right now, relaxing with a fire in the fireplace and a bit of Woodford bourbon.

Long day but saw some friends and made a few new ones.

I got to fondle a CZ 1911...........Life is good.

I didn't get to handle any guns either. I did get some social ammo for the big hammer and a new foregrip.

First gunshow I have ever been to where I didn't get to look at any guns.

Has anybody owned the 75 in stainless? Thinking about getting one and then of coarse taking it north to the Wizard for all the upgrades.

I own a 75B in matte SS - one of the best handguns I own. BTW - no scratches either.

I have a compact in satin nickel. It is also scratch free despite many thousands of rounds down the pipe.

 

[88E30M50]

One day, a stainless 75B will be mine. I do wish the came in .40 though, but I can always get a standard 75B in .40 and have it plated until CZ realizes that stainless is good seller in today's market. I've seen BA's compact and it probably still has remnents of drool from the encounter.

He cleans them up pretty well after these drool fests.......

There has been a lot of people's DNA on that gun.

This is me as well. That matte stainless is dead sexy!
