While in Phoenix for Easter, my father in law accidently scrubbed the fron bumper and fender........

The little dent and nudge is about 3900.00 in damage........

Park Place gave me a new Lincoln MKZ with 25 miles on it.............its not the same............I want Kate back.

 

Sorry about the accident. But you've learned a very valuable lesson. I would not allow my father-in-law to ride my bicycle much less drive any of our vehicles. This is a man who backed a borrowed RV into the corner of our previous house about 20 years ago, tearing up that section of gutters as well as denting the borrowed RV, then attempted to blame his wife for not guiding him down the driveway. He left a $100 bill on our kitchen table (which didn't begin to cover the gutter damage) then packed up and split to drive back to Florida before I got home to see the damage and speak with him. What a moron....

 

my guess is dad-in-law wasn't driving it, but wasn't used to another car in their driveway and either misjudged or forgot about it entirely. I've done that before, little habits like leaving your driveway are hard to break.

 

At least you'll get yours back.

 

BINGO, he felt so bad.

 

I just got word that the insurance company is paying to have my hood repainted in order to blend the paint? It had several chips etc....so YAY

 

yeah I know the feeling I had mine in for repair, I was rear ended. My rental was a chevy impala, ugh it got so old driving a regular car even for 3 days!

 

Painting the bumper and the bonnet at the same time is the very best way to get the color/shade to match exactly, you'll be glad they volunteered that service (in addition to the chip repair bonus!) Of course, the first rock chip you get now will be a bit harder to deal with. I know, my new paint job lasted only 1 week.

 

my dad said if I wanted to keep mine pristine I should buy a toyota and keep the jag covered in the garage Funny thing is he has a toyota tundra and does that with HIS toyota because of his work car and his older tacoma.

 

Speaking of missing your Jag, I miss mine. I got to see her a couple of days after I sold her because I still had the second set of keys, the cargo net, and the tonneau cover bag to give to the new owner. Yesterday I found a little bottle of factory touch up paint. I'm thinking about calling up the new owner to give him the paint. That would let me see her again. If I keep finding stuff to give him, who knows how long I can drag this out. He only lives 20 minutes away.

Maybe I should just call him up and invite him over when I cook steaks on the grill. We could become friends and I could maybe borrow the Jag every once in a while.

 

Oh yeah... he's keeping her in his garage, which I was happy to see. And his garage is cleaner than mine. I'm going to get jealous if it turns out she likes her new home more than her old home.

 

You could burn CD's of all your videos individually and give them to him one at a time. That ought to go on for a while.

 

A simple solution to that (Unacceptable) Situation:

XKR!

 

In the place where I worked as an apprentice, the foreman sparky had sold his car to one of his guys.
He used to borrow it every Sunday lunchtime,take it home and was and polish it then bring it back clean and shiny!

 

Park Place bodywerks calls me this mornign and tell me for an extra 170 in cash they can make my car even better.................fixing some other ods and ends on the paint............

How could I say no?

 

"fixing some other ods and ends on the paint............"

How could you NOT say no

 

They said that the insurance company gave them enough money to repaint part of the bumper and it would look very odd if the other half had pits in it plus they would tak care of some odds and ends.


UGH what do you. I want my car back.

 

Exactly, I would do the same. How many days until you're back in your ride?

 

This coming week is what they said.....
