The Prelude Curse

I know everyone usually has a story to tell when they get hit, or something happens to their precious baby aka our BBSEX! I know most or some of the owners get all crazy like they're going to kill someone or go insane, but I simply am blahh about it. I'm not mad, I'm more happy in a way because I am getting a new paint job, and well, I hope this goes through smoothly.

Here goes the story: I went over to my friends house so I was at my friends house while this occurred. Thanks to my ALARM PAGING SYSTEM for this one because I know it could have been a hit-and-run, but investing $130 bucks on the alarm I got benefited and am being put to use. Around 12:30 I was at my friends house talking about "FISHING". YES, FISHING. If you go to the "OFF TOPIC" thread, I posted up a thread about fishing. That was the reason why I went there.

21st Annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby CALIFORNIA PEOPLE!!!!! - Preludepower.com

So cut to the main point, as we were talking, I hear my pager go off on my key chain, so I run outside, and see this red Chevy S10 driven by a chick, we'll call her Kathy. There were four people in the car. The owner of the Truck was her boyfriend (we'll call him BOB) but she was the one driving, and two of their friend. (we'll call them Mario and Luigi) I asked, what happened, and they were all in shocked. Then I went towards my car on the side where the S10 was, which was the passenger side, and from what I know, she was trying to back out and hit my car. So then I was like oh wow, I can't believe this!! The reason why was because it took me a looong time to replace that Genuine OEM fender.

Anyways, I know they're going to fix it or replace a new one so I'm not tripping on that. So I stayed calm the whole time. I asked for her license and she gave it to me. I asked for insurance and they said they didn't have it. So I asked if they had insurance and they said yes but they left it at home. So I was like okay, I'm gonna be faithful and be a nice guy here with this deal. I won't call the cop but if you don't provide me with it, I will. So the solution came up was to follow them home and get it, which I ended up doing. I held on to the chick's driver's license. Mario and Luigi rode along with my friend. I'm sure they all enjoyed the ride in the BBSEX.

So we get to Bob and Kathy's place. I guess from what Mario was telling me on the way there was that Bob and Kathy were being evicted because a room mate who was Asian from Sacramento owned the house, and they paid him rent, but he used it to party so he didn't pay the mortgage. Now the house is foreclosed and bank owns it. Nonetheless I was like whatever because that isn't my problem. Well when we got to the door, the electricity was out and nothing was working. They lit up a candle and went upstairs to get the insurance paper. I guess today, 03/08/10 is the date they're suppose to be out of the house. So I waited as Bob and Kathy went inside to get the insurance paper. Once they came out, they brought all the info. I got Bob and Kathy's Driver's License info, address, and only Bob's cell phone. Bob said Kathy didn't have a cell. I got Mario's Name ONLY because he said he just got out of jail and was paranoid of me getting his info. Luigi cooperated and gave me his ID and Cell which I took down his info of.

Ok so now I'm sitting in my car finished writing their info, and I wrote mine. so I said Thanks and gave him Mario and Luigi their info, along with mine. So then I told them, don't feel bad, **** like this happens all the time and thankfully this is the reason why we have insurance. So they left, and I called my insurance, progressive claim hotline. I gave them all my info I got and their info, and the important infos. After that the lady on the phone said the adjuster will call me tomorrow, well today 03.08.10 so I will be waiting to take it to the adjuster to get this done as soon as possible. The reason why is because I am taking my car to the fishing tournament in two weeks and I haven't taken my baby out in a great while, since 2007!!! Anyways this is all the rambling I have for now until you guys ask me further questions.

Now you guys did a lot of reading. Comes the fun part. Read with your eyes now!

So update: I just got off the phone with the adjuster from my insurance. She said she called the other party's insurance and filed a claim and I should expect a phone call from them from 24-48 hours from now. The other party's adjuster will speak to me about the accident, and then to their insured person, then go about from there. I'm not sure what's going to go on, but hope all this isn't going to get me to a point to piss me off. That's all for now.

I work in insurance and I would've been beyond pist! I assume you already know of a reputable shop that does great work. If not, make sure you find one vs. just going to any shop progressive might try to "gently direct" you to. Good luck!

Progressive isn't making me choose. They said whatever shop i want to go to. They have handled the case with all they can and been very helpful. I just have to wait for the appraiser which is coming tomorrow around 1pm. I don't know what he will say but I took it to a shop and it is about $1100 for the damage which was just a guestimate.

Paint prices are ridiculous these days. I Completely repainted my truck 3 years ago and for a gallon of candy green paint it cost me 200. Also glad I own a spray gun because I could do a fender in 3-4 hours not rushing, that's 50 dollars an hour.

You feel his pain you are mad? I reckon you should tell the guy to give you extra for wasting your time and making you feel like that

yeah, my total came out to about $500buxx for the paint alone. i'm doing all the body work myself, then when its ready to paint, taking it to the shop and doing the last minute job there; sand off with smoother grit, and clean it off with laquer thinner...and the bbsexxx goes in teh boooth for a freshhh new paint! ;D
