This was for sure the pattern on the 1988 M3.
Less the 6th gear. Damm I miss that car. |

I'm going to get HOSED!!!! And it's going to take a long time.
My wife got hit from behind by a roach coach yesterday. 963 original miles on the X3. She is fine, but will need new bumper, lower receiver, and repair of the door. Is there a formula to determine diminished value? |

Given it sounds like he rear ended her, he's clearly at fault, I would imagine insurance down there works somewhat the same? Here is a calculator that might help. https://www.finder.com/ca/how-to-cal...ue-of-your-car |

Honestly a bumper and rear door repair is not going to be a deal breaker for me as long as it was repaired properly.

I haven't even spoke to my insurance yet. The last time I did that, even though the other party was at fault. I paid my deductible expecting my insurance company to get that back for me as well. APPARENTLY, in Cali, insurance is not even allowed to ask on my behalf (or so they said) I consulted an attorney (my dad) but he wasn't even sure, but tended to agree with the insurance on that one issue.
We have to wait up to 10 days for the fine CHP officer to file his report, but a rear-end with a witness in another vehicle to the screeching of tires makes it pretty clear the other driver will be saddled with fault. Wife was belted, no phone activity, at a complete stop on the offramp due to traffic in front of her. I called the dealer, they gave me a company they refer all their repairs to, and the name included "Premier" so I think it will be done right. There were a shit-ton of Land Rover, Porsche, and MB SUVs in various levels of rear-end repair in the shop . . . I'm just trying to calm myself in preparation for the upcoming battle with insurance company. |

I never rely solely on the back up camera as it only displays what is directly behind you. When you are parked between cars, or even worse, SUV's or Trucks, you have no idea what may be about to cross behind you unless you turn your head and look to either side as you inch your "tush" slowly out. All the time hoping that any oncoming traffic will see you and stop, or if not, that you will see them and stop. THEN I use the camera to keep from backing into the vehicles in the row behind me.

I've had nothing but good experience with my insurance company, Travelers. I've been in a couple of fender benders (not my fault) and they took good care of me. They made certain only OEM parts were used for repair. I've heard horror stories about some of the big name insurance companies always trying to go cheap and get after market parts rather than OEM, etc. I heard this directly from people that worked for those insurance companies. Travelers may not be the cheapest, but it's peace of mind. Eventually in one case my deductible was paid back as well as paying for the entire cost of damages which was in the thousands. That was before they actually collected money from the other party so they were proactive which was nice. Fortunately for me, Travelers has a body shop they work with that is close to where I live and they actually had people on site at the body shop. They called it Concierge service and they always kept me up to date on my repairs. Of course I got a free rental car during the time car was repaired. I don't know what formula is used for diminished value but I remember receiving a check from the insurance company for that amount. |

On the bright side, I believe that California is a diminished-value state should you want to start collecting the supporting documentation for a lawyer.....

From what I can gather, there is diminished value, but I have to get it from the driver/company, not insurance. See, I told you there would be hosing |

What are the odds that your ex-wife and your ex-boyfriend know each other. That's crazy!
Just kidding man. Same....both ex-wive's. Hell the second ex-wife cheated on me with her future husband, then cheated on him with her ex-husband, then cheated on both with her soon to be ex-husband. |

I didn't realize there was a theme based on PE or ED. I thought it was a riddle. It's 2021, waking up leads to heavy drinking...or some form of inebriation, I guess it depends on what state a person lives in these days. Shit, walking to the mail box requires a drink afterwards for me.

We ordered a Jeep back in January but they are just now putting the order through.
I just got an update from the rep that they (not me, they) decided to modify my order and take out one of my options (cold weather package) due to the shortages so that we could expedite the order. Literally the language I got. I have responded requesting additional details and indicating in no way that I was necessarily agreeing with the deletion, but I wanted to understand the difference in timing if I waited for the option to be filled. But I can only presume that if they are just modifying options now, that the Jeep is not even built. Which is greatly annoying to me. Especially since I emailed him in February to make sure the order was submitted (and he said it was), and then emailed him twice now in March to follow up on status, once in early March. Its not like my order dropped through the cracks and they forgot about it. |
