The Official Status Update Thread: Part 95 - Braveheart

It missed all that and didn't deploy the air bags, but it may have tweaked the frame.

Another thing to consider is whether or not the insurance company "totals" the car. Even if the money is right to fix it, having a salvage title kills the value of the car... assuming that is a concern.

Pretty up actually. I have a date tomorrow, first one in 5 years I think. Should be interesting.

G23c WTF happened?

I haven't had a date for about 25 years...

That really isn't a concern, but with the age mileage and other problems with it, I'm really hoping they just total it.

 

[mom45]

I don't think that is going to buff out. I hope everyone is okay!

 

[mom45]

It can take some folks a little while to get back up to speed. In their own time.. I know about this.

Yep...we were encouraged that they actually agreed to get out and do stuff this past year. They also talk about her a lot more than they used to. I'm sorry for all of you on here who have lost s child. I think I would literally lose my mind if something happened to one of my kids.

Sorry to hear that SD, I'll keep him in my thoughts.

Depending on the year and model, it might be worth taking to someone with the frame machine. My BIL fixed my Jimmy like new after we were broadsided in it last year. Insurance would have totaled it but it drives like it was never hit...no pulling or anything. He gave me a heck of a deal on the repairs though cause we've helped them out at times. It just depends on the value of the car.

If they total it and you can sell it to someone who buys them and fixes them up, you might do okay too.

Its totaled.

I hope no one was hurt.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

No one was hurt, she's pissed cause it happened.

Good. Understandable too. I was when I rear-ended a brand new car.

I've been there too, I was 16 and rear-ended a brand new Lincoln in my 1984 T-bird.

I did that in front of the business MrsG's cousin owned. He was calling the police before I even hit the guy....he said he saw what was going to happen. I was checking out a girl walking into another business.

When I ran a crew in a previous job, I never did that, but I did curb check the back wheels on the dually more than once. I usually got the reaction of you f'n drive, we'll look for you.

The guy I hit was the regional manager for State farm. He was pretty cool about. Brand new Olds, less than a 100 miles. I had a 72 Nova. I swerved but not in time and caught the right side of his rear bumper. New bumper, trunk lid, fender and bumper cover. They were turning into a pizza place and I tried to buy the dinner but they wouldn't let me.

My dads sister died this morning. So I'm taking him to the mall tomorrow to buy him a nice suit, shoes. I gotta drive him to Gurnee IL. For the funeral. Not sure if us Hoosiers can legally carry there yet. But he's having a rough time. He's the only one left now. He's out lived two wifes , two children , parents , now his only sister.

My sympathies to your family, SD1. I know the feeling. My mom was the youngest of 8 kids, and she's the only one left now. Three years ago, she lost her only sister and her last living brother within a couple of months of each other. Even though they've always been hundreds of miles away, it really hit her hard knowing they were all gone but her.

I sense to many people follow to closely.

[MrsGungho]
