so the wife was "cut off" apparently the other day in the xb downtown phx. she swerved and jumped the curb and ended up in the light rail track. they had to stop the train for her. shes fine but the xb took a beatin'! front wheel is cocked at 45 degrees and both driver side rims are torn up. luckily insurance is paying for everything (just payin my deductable) - there even paying for my rims. only thing is, the gunmetal gray is back ordered 3 months, but they have black in stock. so insurance said "its not our fault if ur rims dont match" they said they'd pay for the gray rims - i told them they are gonna either pay for 3 months of a rental vehicle or they can pay for all 4 rims which would save them a few thousand im sure in rental fees. they agreed! so now im gettin 4 new rims. pretty sweet deal i think. for once the insurance company worked in my favor

 

Wow, what insurance do you have?

I would like to switch. lol

 

I've heard that you'd save a bundle by switching to Geico.


Wait... that's not true. I'm paying a grip through them.

well glad to hear your wife is ok and also your xB...at least everything else is in your favor

 

Just a heads up. Since the left front wheel is damaged, everything behind it is is at risk also. That's suspension, swaybar&link, bearing, hub, knuckle, CVJ, half axle, transaxle, tie-rod, and rack&pinion assembly. Make sure you check everything out thoroughly.

 

o yeah there replacing all that too

 

how much was the deductible and what insurance do you have?

 

unfortunately my ded. is $500. im military and have USAA for insurance. $500 is better than the $3,083 that was just quoted to fix everything though!
