Car Totaled..Now Time to Settle w/INS. Safety Reminder, HELP
Gents, Thanks for taking the time to read this post! First, No one hurt. Second, I was, nor was my passenger, wearing safety belts! I disabled the chime long ago, and that was foolish.....NEVER am I NOT going to wear a safety belt again in any vehicle. Bruised up some as a result.
I spun the car on the coldest day of the year thus far in Dallas. Cold tires, and the stock non sticky ones at that, cold pavement, and too much throttle and it was gone in an instant. COOLER WEATHER HERE NOW BE CAREFUL!! BONE stock car. No other car involved, but I sheared a big aluminum traffic pole, came to a stop, and the pole fell on the car. PROBABLY totaled. Will post pics when the car gets back to the body shop Monday. THIS IS A COMMON RISK FACTOR WITH THIS CAR! I was warned by members of this site upon purchase to be careful, and for two years I did, and it was gone in an instant. Please be careful, and smarter than I have been. Alcohol was NOT a factor.
UPDATE: Car Was TOTALED OUT by the Adjustor....Now need to settle and work on a replacement!! (BLACK, (preferably) 2006, NO STRIPES)
AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! it was mostly a side impact, and that may be why.
The car was 2006, Black 3000 miles, optional wheels, no stripes no mac. I may want another 2006 black stripe delete car. I have seen one, but it was sale pending......Want a stock, non modified car.
Thanks to all on this forum for your help in the past. I AM SIGNING UP NOW FOR PAID MEMBERSHIP SO BONY TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO SO AS TO PAY MY WAY FOR ALL THE GREAT TIPS I HAVE LEARNED ADDING TO SUCH A GOOD OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE!
