370z and park & rides

BeemaaZ · 05-03-2015, 09:44 PM

Sorry for loss. I hope who ever did this will get their karma.

Just curious, how did they put the car on the flat bed?

Smashley · 05-04-2015, 03:46 AM

Where in PG County exactly?

Redhorizons · 05-04-2015, 04:49 AM

The tow company, which was set up by my insurance USAA, put the spare on the front drivers side and some kind of skid on the front passenger side. In the rear they just sat the two rotors in two donuts laid flat and dragged it up. So I'm nervous about how much more damage that caused.

This was at the Accokeek Park & Ride off of Livingston RD.

I can only imagine the noises it made being dragged onto the flatbed. That's absolutely horrible. So sorry.

I'm buying a 02 Sentra off my buddy to park at the park & ride. This shouldn't be a target...I hope.

Pics pics pics pics.
It should not be a problem at all unless those rims are coated with gold or something of that nature.
On a serious note, if the rims are in excellent shape (no curb checks) and they are the "sportier" version (SE-R model) they had back in 2002, then it could be a potential as with any other factory rims. Nowadays most vehicles come with 18 inches or higher and that seems to be the preferred target so anything below 16 inches get overlooked unless "a specific customer" request for them.

yah, but do realize some older popular cars have high theft risk for the black parts market.

(like normal looking camry's and accords).

I have USAA, which is supposed to be a good insurance. I have never had a claim before, so I guess I'll be putting there reputation to the test. The USAA certified body shop I took it to said they really cant get a good idea of how much damage was done until they order wheels and tires and install them so they can get the car on a lift. But the tech said that he thinks the rotors and calipers should be replaced; between the POS dropping the car on the front rotors and the tow dragging the vehicle on the rotors Plus they did cosmetic damage to the calipers, not sure how, maybe they were trying to take them too.

I have USAA as well I honestly have never heard anything bad about them. I'm retired military and everyone told me to go with them while I was in so I've just carried them but I haven't had to make any claims. I did call about 2 weeks ago and the lady said on top of full coverage they can cover an additional 20% over the value of the vehicle and they have some sort of $5000 additional coverage also. It cost me like an extra $14 a month to add all that since I'm modded.

Hope they cover everything for you their track record seems great.

I had USAA for over 15 years and I had to cancel their policy. I'm like you retired military and once I moved to NJ my insurance went from $240 a month to $460 a month (and no Z included) and that was by lowering all coverage just to be in compliance with the law. I call them several times to "review" my policy and nothing was done. So after 8 months of abuse, I started to look for a better insurance. By adding the Z, my policy was going to jump at $650 per month with USAA. I found a local Allstate agent and now I pay $330 per month with better and higher coverage limits than USAA. Allstate send me a check for "good driver" 6 months into the policy for almost the same amount USAA was sending just once a year with SSA subscriber savings account. I have an excellent driving record no reckless, no DWI, never totaled a vehicle and so on.

That seems high.. I live in Brooklyn and give Geico 180 ish per month, albeit full coverage I choose high deductibles.
