Sorry to hear that Jim. By chance, were you in the Montgomeryville area yesterday? I saw a box that looked exactly like yours. I haven't been on in awhile because we made settlement on Friday, and pretty much started gutting the house. That will consume most of my time on weekends now. But I still talk to most of you outside of hear anyway.

 

yeah, i was up there. had a tux fitting for Eds wedding, and then sonya and i went to lunch after that.

 

Good morning all.....

 

mornin homie

 

So whats up dude? Did you get a qoute on the box yet? or do you know whats next?

 

i just called up Nationwide (his ins) and started the claims process. the claim adjuster is going to call me back in "one business day" i know they're going to want to take it to one of their shops (faulkner scion) and i dont want that to happen...

I have 2 body shops that we deal with at clearstar. I want to take it to one of them.

I really think Nationwide is going to give me a hard time because its a custom car.

 

Ok, I knew that was yours. I saw you parked in the Borders lot.

 

Good luck Jim.....

 

yep, that was me. we were at the mens warehouse right next door.


thanks los. any tips for dealing with insurance companies?

 

Actually....they're going to refer you to a "pro" shop which is a body shop that they always deal with, they meaning the insurance company, but if you go through one of their "pro" shops you have a garentee for everything so lets say the paint chips later on.....you take it back and they'll fix it free of charge....but on the other hand you can tell them where you want your car worked on.....its all up to you....but since its not your insurance they might be a a-holes....but let them know.....

 

they said something about their "blue ribbon" body shops. I called up my insurance company for advice, and they said that the blue ribbon paint is great when it comes to regular cars, not custom cars.

I'm hoping they dont give me any hassles with it. i really dont want to deal with the stress.

One thing everyone i talked to about it said was make sure i get a rental car, since the merc isnt all that reliable anymore.

 

tru.....but make sure how up to how much will they pay for it and if they will reimburse you on gas money.....i dont know if i spelled that right lol.....

blue ribbion and pro shop = same ish
