rags, that good to hear! The amount spent isn't at all bad either. How much did the insurance settle for? Ah, maybe you don't want to post that!

I am sure it will be GREAT to have your own wheels back!

Good job! Have any trouble with the inner tie rod? They can be fun sometimes.

$600-700 for all that? That doesn't seem too bad at all, especially if the insurance pays you the full estimated repair value (not likely).
I am taking my car into the dealer for its 6 month service (tune-up) tomorrow, and it will probably be $500-$600...

About fun evenings:
At about 8pm on Wed, Dec.4th my sweetheart parks her car, (1998 vw beetle), on the street like she does every night.
Next morning she is waken by the cops knocking on the door. Someone had hit the right rear of her car, pushed it up and over the curb and into a car parked in a driveway. Driver kept on going. no note, nada. Ok, cool, upsetting but she has insurance. 500 dollar dectutable, 2 weeks of rental payments. Maybe 1000 dollars total. "Life Happens". At least she was not in the car at the moment and as such was not hurt.
Well, she works Retail, < read does not earn very much, Add it is Yule time, Subtract child support payments she makes etc.... >
But wait, there is more
The jerk finaly reports it to his insurance agency. He claims my sweetheart was in the car at the time. ???!. We get this information Last night. Well, I guess there is no way she can prove where she was. Ooops. At the time he claims the accident took place she was on our web cam chatting with at least 4 people.
< The Gryphin Gryns >
Gotta love computers.
I hope this goes to court.

If your girl friend has Safeco, or State Farm insurance she is F*****. I was rear ended in at the post office by a drunk drive, and my insurance paid for his damages and medical. You see, he simply ran an add in the paper asking for witness, will pay, and guess what, he got them. My insurance company, Safeco, gave him the idea, despite his arrest for DUI, his third by the way, he altimately wins.

Now State Farm is just a fricking rip off, if they can find a way to weazle out, they will.

When the revolution comes, and it will, I can only hope that I am of able mind and body to seek retribution upon those who run insurance companies. If any one should be consider Axis of Evil, I sware to God that they should be Insurance Companies, The IRS, and Banks.

Sorry to hear about her problem, she'll prevail. Have her check into having him charged with hit and run, and see if her insurance company will agree that it was an uninsured accident, therefore her uninsured insurance should pick up the tab.

And if she was up with you at the time on the accident, why did she not hear it? (Lawyers will ask)
