$4196.17 in mechanical damage, but I paid that off easily to NOT BUY OR BURN much Gasoline anymore! :-) Yay! John Kuthe, Climate Anarchist, Suburban Renewalist and Vegetarian |

I didn't say that. But a driver whose camera caught the incident and the licence plate could have contacted you or the police (provided he'd not be black). >I'm just happy to get my zero gasoline buying/burning CAR BACK!

If someone crashed into your car and you called the cops when it happened, they'd have investigated. If there were witnesses, they'd have asked questions. They'd have checked traffic cameras. Even way out here in the sticks where I live there are traffic cameras. You said they found a piece of a white car that hit yours. What did you pay $4196 for?! Someone else brought up insurance. Collision insurance would have taken care of the repair (including any body work). All you'd have had to do was pay the deductible, which wouldn't be anywhere near $4000. You really like throwing money away, don't you? Jill |

Obviously you don't have sufficient insurance coverage otherwise all you'd have had to do was pay the deductible, which wouldn't have been anywhere near $4000. I suspect you have either a very bad driving record or are too simply don't know enough to pay for full insurance (Liability & Collision, aka Comprehensive). You bought the car used to begin with. I have no idea why you think spending $4000 to fix it is a good thing. You can buy a 2012 Leaf for what you paid to fix that one. Jill |

YOU are the ones getting so royally FLEECED by insurance corporations who have convinced you that giving them all your MONEY! And you also CHOOSE to still burn gasoline just because it's what you've always done and probably built your lifestyle around it! :-( John Kuthe... |

I bought my 2013 Leaf at a Bommarito Used Vehicle lot in 2016 after a completely unexpected $80,000 inheritance I got from my aunt, my father's younger sister. I paid just under $10,000 for it, and it's the best car I've owned ever since! Almost ZERO maintenance, uses ZERO gasoline, etc.! And now I had to pay another $4000 to get the rear end mechanicals replaced after probably being hit my a stolen car. I'm just glad I had all that money when I needed it! :-) John Kuthe... |

HA! :-( > > > > John Kuthe... > > > > So you have quit street racing now? The ONLY time I "raced" my Nissan Leaf was in 2016 when I was stopped at a red light next to a young kid in a Honda or something on a lovely Fall day and I slid the passenger window down and looked over at him and asked him if he wanted to "go for it"? He nodded yes so I slid the passenger window back up as I heard him revving his Internal Combustion Engine powered POS as I smiled and placed my foot over the accelerator pedal of the Leaf and thought to myself "He has no idea what to expect!" When the light turned green I floored it and he tried to keep up but with the immediate TORQUE my Leaf has he just could not and by the time I got to a little jog in the road I looked at my speedo and was going 75MPH and was still accelerating! I beat him to Delmar too and educated him about electric cars! :-) And when first off the red light I regularly once again will beat every ICE vehicle on the road across any street! It's that quick!

What sort of vehicle caused that damage like that? The leading edge of every car, truck or even bike I can think of wouldn't be anywhere near as low as that. I'm not buying your story, John. |

The way things go, it doesn't make much sense to do any bodywork. It'll just get bent up again in a few weeks. If he used insurance, by now he would have been dropped or the rates would be astronomical. He's probably figured this out and taken the best approach for his situation. |

So I'm not sure I see your logic here. But I beleive that YOU believe it makes sense to you. Now put the Uzi down... -sw |

YOU are the ones getting so royally FLEECED by insurance corporations who have convinced you that giving them all your MONEY! John, did you even look at your insurance policy? Even libility insurance policies offer an "uninsured motorist fee" for very few dollars extra ($6-$10) every 6 months. That would cover your accident and pay for it, less a deductible. "Uninsured motorist coverage protects you and your property after an accident when the at-fault driver does not have insurance." It covers hit and run drivers too. I had a hit and run driver smash into the back of my van once while it was parked at night. It was covered. |

> > Who's going to take out comprehensive car insurance for an old car? > You guys nuts or summin'? Remember my old Volvo story? It was a few years old and I paid only $1500 on a Friday. I called up immediately and only got liability insurance coverage. Later that evening I found out it had a book value of $6500. So we didn't drive it that weekend until I could add the comprehensive when the insurance company was open again. On Monday, I called and added comprehensive. On Tuesday, my daughter rear-ended a car and totaled our Volvo. sigh Because of that suspicious timing, it took a month to resolve but finally they called and said they have a check for me for $6400. 6500 minus the 100 deductible. I made a profit of $4900 in only 4 days between buying the car and it being totaled. Also insurance company (Nationwide) had a "First time forgiveness" policy so my car insurance price never went up. |
