At least my Nissan dealer gives me an Altima.

The last time I had my old 350Z in the shop I got a Cadillac CTS from the insurance company, baller!

insurance only give you $900 max for rental, you go over, it will be out of your pocket. whats the rate for the CTS?

I can't take it anymore. The seats are so upright and open (the console in the middle is on the floorboard) that I feel like a bus driver.

It's bright red. My friends call it "the red rocket".

Maybe we should start a "Save Rick" thread. You gonna be out this weekend at the meet in Fairfax?

No, i wont be there..I'm a little pissed atm. The insurance company messed up the paperwork...so it needed to be re-evaluated...

I got the call from the body shop on Monday, the guy explained that they needed to do more work than what was in the estimate. The rear quarter panel had a crease in it, but the paperwork only had the quarter panel being blended (not actually repaired). The guy explained it may delay my car a little from being completed but he wanted to make sure the job was done right. The adjuster KNEW it was creased, he said it as I was standing next to him, and he took a picture of it...but it never made it into the estimate (wtf).

Fast forward to Friday, I walk in looking for an update to my car..and my car is sitting in the parking lot. So I'm like..."cool, it must be done". Upon closer inspection I see it hasn't even been touched". So I walk in a little pissed asking "WTF yo?"...The body shop is like "your insurance company has not re-evaluated the car"..

Then I walk into the local insurance company office and the lady there tells me..."I don't know why he didn't do it (he being the adjuster)..hes been here all week."

So I went off and I'm like "my car has been sitting there for a week and nothing has happened, you have been paying for a rental car I don't even need"

So she gets pissy and is like "sir, some people are waiting 2 weeks for their car to be repaired" So I'm like..."I've been waiting since ******* February"

So she told me she'll make sure he looked it at that day...so who knows at this point when it will be done.

I'll be in the Red Rocket for probably another week...if I can make it that long.

You asked for it...

LinPark · 04-10-2010, 12:13 PM

When I went to pick up my 370Z, the rental company "upgraded" me to a PT Cruiser (the Chrysler version of the HHR). If that was an upgrade, can you imagine what the other thing would have looked like? Must've been a bicycle or something.

BUT, going from that to the 370Z in the same day really made it feel that much better.

ZCarMan · 04-10-2010, 07:13 PM

Rick,

what insurance company is it that I need to make sure I don't go with? I would have been ready to spit nails at that **** weed! Well, we all asked about you today at lunch. We were expecting you but under the circumstances I can certainly understand. Hopefully you at least get a "We're Sorry" before you tell them to get bent.

zZSportZz · 04-10-2010, 10:02 PM

Geico

ZCarMan · 04-11-2010, 07:54 AM

I don't have Geico but they are supposed to be pretty good from what I've heard. Sounds like you got the turd in the punchbowl of an adjuster.

4r3s · 04-11-2010, 08:33 AM

I will never use geico again. when I did a barrell roll in my tbird they did total it and did pay out well but there after they were trying to charge me 1300 for 6months ins. Obviously they didnt want my buisness anymore. Switched to allstate and I was down to 500 for 6months. thinking I might have to switch again soon they bumped me up to 700 after getting the z.

oh yeah my dad was with geico for 20+ years and after he turned 65 they doubled his rates. he told them to go f*ck themselves. The man is unreal, has never had a speeding ticket or anything in his life.

Welcome to my life. I commute daily with my girlfriend, so we take her car and I drive. It's an 07 HHR, so I bounce routinely from HHR to 370Z.

OMG DUDE..I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!

(yes caps were needed)

zZSportZz · 04-12-2010, 06:21 PM

Just got "the call". The car is going into paint tomorrow and I should have it just in time for the pollen...errr...I mean the weekend.

Side note: I was sitting at a light today and some dude pulled up next to me in a VW Bug (flowers were present). Couldn't help but think that....at least driving the HHR....I'm not at the COMPLETE end of the "gay ride" food chain. He is. However, with the 2 weeks spent in this thing, I think I'm growing a vagina.

madelf · 04-12-2010, 06:40 PM

Now I really feel your pain..... I'm on a business trip and i am stuck in a Toyota Camry
