Calax Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Sorry to hear that Insurance isn't covering it? they are but they consider it totaled out which won't cover the entire debt I owe on it (probably, nobody has talked numbers yet) http://imgur.com/4TPHyoL http://imgur.com/GN5PY1S http://imgur.com/S9BdPkG Edited October 11, 2016 by Calax Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

ManifestedISO Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 That does suck, sorry. I've had to use GAP insurance once before. Or I mean the other named insured on my policy had to use it. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

What happened, if I may be so rude as to poke my nose where it doesn't belong? by the look of the pics, i'd say a good repair shop could have it looking like new in about a week (if the parts are readily available)... calling it totaled is ridiculous! No, that's going to be alot of work, the chassis is going to be bent and straightening that out is going to be a nightmare. Not to mention that you're going to have to change just about every part in the engine bay. That front has been pushed in atleast 30-40cm's it looks like. Would've been doable on an old car that does'nt have a monocoque construction with advanced crumple zones.

Hiro Protagonist Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) the chassis is going to be bent and straightening that out is going to be a nightmare. I agree. Quite a few years ago I had someone ran up the back of me. Fortunately for me he braked just before he hit me and his front went down and the front of his car went under my car.. Smashed his front good and proper just like Calax's car. While you couldn't see any visible damage (except for the bent muffler and a few scratches that already looked like they were there before) on my car, the chassis internally at the back was bent out of shape. When I took the car to the other driver's insurance company to be assessed, it cost nearly a couple of thousand to be repaired. To the visible eye I didn't notice it but the assessor showed me where it was bent out of shape. I thought it was no big deal, however, a bent chassis is a big deal.

Ben No.3 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Hilarious dream, not sure what the hell spawned it, but was essentially as if I were in a buggy RPG. Trying to walk some old man to a chamber but then the evil overlord (my boss I assume) was stuck running into a wall nearby, then did that scene over in my head but some guy who was I guess to ambush me came out too early. At least this all woke me up early with the absurdity of it all. Even my dreams are buggy. Have you tried updating the neurons? That often helps... However under no circumstances try to plug it in. Never works... I fried my brain that way. Although it isn't that big of a loss...

Yeah, it's a pretty big part The forces involved, even in low speed crashes, are pretty massive. And even if you do something such as lift your car in the wrong place with a jack you can bend the chassis badly.

We are both ok although my chest is still healing I'm glad to hear that you're ok, physically if nothing else. Wish I could help you some way though. --- Had another day with forced overtime. Funny how much it can **** you up over two days just working one hour extra on a five and a half hour work day. I was completely knackered and was crazy hungry. Wich is a problem, since one of the people that I drive to work lives next to a Max burger shop, wich meant that when I dropped him off I couldn't stop myself from buying a burger.

Guard Dog Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've been fishing in Sand Island in Mississippi for the last five days. It was nice. I caught a 28" Wahoo on Sunday. I baked it in aluminum foil with fresh pineapple and sweet peppers under campfire coals and fried the rest with scrambled eggs the next day. It was a great trip. I didn't even turn on the radio the whole time I was out there and only tuned on my phone once.

Guard Dog Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not much left to say Bruce. Both Trump and Clinton are vile and repugnant human beings who should never be placed in charge of anything. And one of them will be the next President of the United States. My country. That I live in, love, have borne arms in the defense of. How could anyone NOT be depressed by that? I know you are a Clinton supporter, but in all seriousness you do realize by now she is not what anyone would call a good or respectable person. At best she's just not Donald Trump.
