Cage posted:Old people, and people who don't know much about cars. Basically everyone. Friend at work bought one of these PT's (a convertible no less). She loves the thing and we take it to lunch all the time. I have to remind myself not to talk bad about it. She's not part of a car club for the thing, but she truly loves the little pile of garbage, so whatever, it's her money.

dee eight posted:Y'know, it's not a really ugly car per se if you like that retro style kinda thing. It's everything else about it that sucks as far as I can tell. (Full disclosure, never ridden in or driven one) I drove one as a work vehicle for a while. They are a Neon. The one I had was pretty terrible, massive rattles, squeaks, and it felt like the suspension was completely worn out (I never drove it over 55 because it scared me it wandered so badly) and it only had about 40k miles on it when they gave it to me to use while my truck was in the shop for a couple of weeks. Basically a super cheapo economy box, which is ok I guess if that's what you want. The one my co-worker drives seems to be much more solid, but I have no idea what the model year was for the one I drove vs. hers, but I'm fairly certain that hers is much newer, and certainly better maintained.

This is the best line... quote:a car for you that may have been imported from another planet — a sad, sad planet where cars look like suppositories. I still don't think it's terrible, just because it's so different, and looks fairly well done.

The one thing I can see on his side is that if the insurance really did jack his rates up by $900 per year based on the appraisal he submitted, then they de facto accepted the value of the stupid truck, and they should pay up.

Yea, I think Haggarty is the right move anytime you are trying to insure something that is worth way more than book value, and you can operate within their restrictions.

Terrible badge stuff... A younger me owned a couple of different Mustang Cobra's. I would get irrationally angry when I saw V6 Mustangs sporting SVT or Cobra badges, and for a while that was a really huge thing, so I was mad a lot. These days, I don't even look at badges unless something in particular draws my eye, or I'm just trying to figure out what a car is that I don't recognize.

Nidhg00670000 posted:The hood pins on my Cuda look alright from the outside, and then you open the hood and realize someone cut the holes with a pair of metal snips, the jagged holes left being perfect for cutting your fingers on. Deburring, what's that? I think the same guy must have done the hood pins on my Charger I had as a teenager.

Colostomy Bag posted:That's epic and took a pair. The world was different if you go back in to the past far enough. My father has lots of funny cop stories that would get you shot or thrown in jail immediately now, but back then were either a stern talking to, or nothing at all. For example he got into drag races with a cop on Central Ave. in Phoenix in the late 50's while driving a DeSoto with side-pipes, and it was the cop who gave the challenge. Hell, even in the late 80's when I was a young driver, I got away with things that I would be terrified of getting caught at today, like getting passed on a remote Nevada highway while driving about 110, by a State Trooper who never even flashed his emergency lights at me as he went by.

Rhyno posted:No cell phone regulations here. But yeah, it was pretty shocking that he'd flip his lights to get a burger. lol... I used to see a Phoenix motor officer using his lights to drive in the emergency lane down I-10. Every single day at the same time, because hey, he's a cop, why should he have to get up in time to get to work using legal traffic lanes like all of us mortals? Cops gotta cop sometimes, and they don't seem to give a poo poo that people notice and it paints all of them with a patina to us normal citizens.

Enourmo posted:Uhhhhhh they've got special training, don't you get that knowing how to use the equipment means it's less distracting to use it while driving? Their awesome driving training allows them to completely safely use an in-car computer to run the plates of the car in front of them, while talking to their sergeant on the cell phone, answering the dispatcher on the radio, and driving in traffic simultaneously.

Linux Nazi posted:It was about 10k in work in total, the underside was wrecked pretty well, but essentially boiled down to 5 pieces that had to get swapped out. 2 of the things required a lot of disassembly to get to, but still it wasn't anywhere near 11 weeks worth. It was just a case of a popular overworked shop servicing the bothersome customers first. I wasn't bothersome enough so I didn't get any priority. If there was an insurance company paying for a rental car then I bet they would have been moving their asses, because the insurance company will want them to account for every drat hour that the rental gets extended.

Linux Nazi posted:You'd think, but the insurance company says I get 30 days rental and thats all. They'll just tell me to suck it after the 30 days is up. I don't even bother with one most of the time because there's been too many times a rental company ends up dropping more charges on my card for things and I have to fight them on it. Strange. My experience is the opposite, but all of my experience is with someone else's insurance company paying for it since the other guy has been at fault, and their objective has always clearly been to minimize their costs, which means speeding the repairs as much as possible and getting me out of the rental car, which they have to pay for no matter how long the repairs take. I live in the Phoenix area also, and my experiences in the last few years were with Geico and Progressive. Both were surprisingly easy to deal with (other than them wanting to settle on the injuries before I was ready to say I was done) and gave me no issues at all. In one of them I was in the rental for almost 8 weeks. Edit: In both cases my insurance (State Farm) said that they would take over and get things done and then sue the other company if I had too much difficulty getting things taken care of, but I would be out my deductible of $500 until they got it back from the other company.
