well i wasnt following him, it was starting to snow and traffic had started slowing up and thats where i got stuck, and blocked in.
and we were all driving like this for a few miles and he just randomly turned in on. and i had no where to go just slowly slowed down so i didnt get mowed over by the truck following me
and yes insurance is going to cover it thats my insurance estimate so at least im not boned but my god it is infuryating

wish i didnt have to fix my baby, but also lights and oil coolers are expensive which jacks up the price, lamps are $1,100 eash and oil coolers are $800 each thats 4k right there almost.

Ah
Guess there is a good side benefit to being your own appraiser. We completely understand the cost of repairs though. It's usually a shock to people that aren't expecting it.

WOW....i'm surprised the company actually allowed you to appraise your own car...seems like it would be a professional conflict or something

but since replaceing oil coolers and having bumper off figured good time for me to buy racing beats condensor and oil cooler screens and thier intake duct =/ =)

Definitely a good idea. Wish the original owner of my car had put those screens in before I had to do it. Already a decent amount of damage I can't exactly fix on those fins.
