I'm going to need the secret money vault access codes that you guys all use to pay for these spectacular upgrades. Because I want in.

 

Hey ZM, did you happen to see my headlights while you were there? Alex started them last week and just finished them yesterday. He's just waiting for the paint to finish drying before he reseals them and ships them out later this week.

 

Nah man, the only thing I saw that was being worked on was a set of Akebono brakes and a Maserati they had parked inside.

 

The headlights were most likely upstairs where they do these type of things and where they were doing my headlights as well, what did you end up getting Adrian?

 

It's top secret, Mike. But I should get some pics from Alex later today or tomorrow, so I'll post up the details along with a few pics once I have them!

 

Car go run into while I was in Boston Pizza last night... pushed in the bumper and broke a tail light. Obviously the perpetrader was nowhere to be seen and i'm stuck with the $1300 bill to fix it "cheaply". I have a $1000 dollar deductible, my body guy said he could create a $3000 bill but then i'd have an "at fault" on my record... nice treat for the long weekend.

 

That sucks, sorry to hear about that.

Just curious how it works...

How are you 'at fault' if someone ran into your rear end? How are you supposed to avoid that?

I was under the impression that a rear-ending was, by definition, the fault of the person who hit you....

I don't know about in Ontario, but here in Alberta it's basically considered at fault if your insurance company is paying for it rather than someone elses. It sucks, because I'd also have to pay my $1000 deductible if I was involved in a hit and run, just the same as if I rear ended someone else.

 

It's all about the insurance company. How I ended up with a G - My last car was totaled, I was hit by another car coming off and exit ramp. police called, report taken, I was not at fault. HOWEVER, the insurance company decided to disagree with the police and accept Liability - to protect me - and a total loss is now on my record. FABU.


But a hit and run shouldn't be like that, it depends on your policy.

 

^^Can't that be disputed with the insurance company given the statements in the police report?

 

I tried. Because the Cop never issued a ticket to the other driver, he went to the hospital with his passenger before the police arrived, and the cop never followed up to issue him one, the insurance company made it my fault. I tried to follow up with Police, and he never returned my calls. I even had a LT. I know look into it, and there was nothing that he could do. I had an attorney, etc. Nothing.


Other party never filed a claim with my insurance company and never returned their calls.

 

That's too bad. Who was/is your insurance company?

 

Progressive. And I had to stay with them, other carriers wanted double.

 

Hey Mike, Alex at ONEighty just finished them up today. Here's a pic of the headlights all finished. Can't wait to get them next week so I can get them on the car!

 

I never had a car insured with them but did have a bike many years ago. No claims though. Sounds like one to stay away from. What about taking it up with the state insurance regulatory agency?
