screw that

hope all works out for him keep us posted man

google says no. :lol: I'd love to see anything costing more than 1000 Euros

(I only set that limit bc I looked up Italy, Germany, and France and for driving school, lessons, etc. and it wasn't close to that.)

this

thats horrible at least it wasnt his fault

Old people suck.

Its not a nice GTO... but this is what an old lady did to my beater a couple years ago....

Update - car is totaled insurance gave him $2,500 less then what he got the car so he has to sue the lady for the rest of the money and he wants to get the exact car, black, with red interior and 6 speed

not to bad. i think joe should ask her for the 2500 if she doesn't give it then he should sue since he spent so many years working up to that car. and does his insurance go up now? if so he should sue for even more money lol

his insurance doesnt go up when its completly her fault

you'd be surprised...

we should attach stickers to cars being driven by old people so that we know to watch out for their bad driving. Its statistically proven that the elderly are more likely to be in accident despite their average speed of 45mph on the parkway

hes right

My friend is selling that exact car Ill send you a link later today. 06 gto black, red leather, m6, 20k miles

no, thats to subtle. we want everyone to know where they are. i'm liking a big orange flashing like on top, like tow trucks, and a loud blaring siren. cause you won't notice the sticker as they blow through the stop sign. the light and siren though. very effective

Glad he is OK thats the important thing..

that's as stupid as the stickers on the cars of inexperienced drivers.

Waaiiitt a minute now....

good luck, unfortunatly i had an accident with my turrdgen and it was my fault, went thru a red turn signal light and the lady tried to sue me for money ..

interesting story actually because i got 2 tickets from the accident failure to obey signal(2pts) and careless driving(2pts) and about 2 weeks before that got a tailgating ticket (5pts)

they combined my court days to one and the lawyer got me off no points and the lady got no money out of me

it must have been a world record or something... but i had to pay like $400 to court and my dad had to pay the lawyer.. thanks dad!!:cry:

yes it is because for most young drivers we do not own our own cars. my z28 was registered to my moms name, i paid for all of it yada yada blah blah. The key thing is thought that if i was driving my Z28 and i got pulled over a cop asks wheres your sticker? i'll just say oh its my mothers car im just borrowing it for the day and she doesnt want stickers on her car..........thats going to happen with 99% of drivers who are in their teens

we're off topic, but I think you have to have the sticker on any car you driver, regardless of whose car it is. I thought they are affixed via hook & loop strips

Yes, 3M brand Velcro, attached to the license plate.

WOW i wanted to cry n give ur friend a hug after reading that!! i think after old people hit a certain age they should be tested every year for driving, i almost got hit head on the other day cuz an old guy took a turn in his cobalt like he was driving a Mack truck

Generally auto insurance payoffs are negotiable. You don't have to take what they offer, just decline it and say your going to get an attorney and take them to court and the payment usually goes to full market value. The insurance company knows it will cost them more to argue their position on the value of the car than to pay fair value.

Just something to keep in mind if this ever happens to you.

PS often making a counter acceptance offer with supporting documentation (photos, receipts for added value items, etc) will also get the payoff raised.

just because they are giving him less than what he paid for the car, doesn't mean they are giving him less than it is worth, that is why gap insurance exists. he can try with the insurance and maybe get lucky, or he can try asking the woman and maybe she will be nice... or he can sue and the courts might hook him up but he will then be out almost that 2500 after paying for legal and court fees....

its a crap situation, and its always worth a try, but advise him to not get his hopes too high before he weighs all his options

He gave the insurance a call and they are giving him more money !!!! :-P
