Default Gored!!! The Update

Well well well...

The little princess is a lying pos.

Good thing I spoke to her insurance company prior to sending her Daddy the nice letter...the little turd ball is now claiming there was prior damage.

I asked the lovely little csr at State Farm..."I gotta believe if she noticed the damage prior she would not have hit the car."...

so...all you cynics out there...YOU WERE RIGHT!!

fun fun......

What a disappointment. I feel your pain. But what I do not understand is why she initially decided to do the right thing and report the accident and is now trying to weasel out of it. If she didn't initially have good intentions, why did she report it in the first place rather than just doing the typical hit-and-run as so many worthless punks do?

Just speculation on my part but this is how I see it going down...

"Dad I hit a parked car in the parking lot when I was backing out. The car was empty so I left a note with my contact info"

"So nobody was in the car when you hit it?"

"Yes"

"What kind of car was it?"

"A Jaguar"

"What!!!! You hit a Jaguar! And then you left a note?!"

"I thought it was the right thing to do"

"Well this is what we are going to say, you are going to say the car was already dented........."

I agree, I think the father has a hand in it now, you could still write a letter praising the daughters actions then........ :-)

Well, meeting the adjuster today at my preferred body shop. They need to measure my front height vs the rear height of the 2005 Neon...(eh gads...Gored...by a Neon!!....to paraphrase David E Davis Jr)..to see if she could have caused this....I'm not making this up.

I have to believe State Farm already knows the ride height of every car on earth...but hey, I need to go there anyway for the body shop estimate.

Cold cruddy rainy upstate NY day...no RainX on the windshield..drove in 20 miles to office. Boy I love this car, it seems w/the extra humidity the leather smell was more pronounced than usual
