can't win for losing
 

basically i'm sittin at a light waiting to make a left turn.....i see a blazer creep into the turnin lane tryin to make a left turn coming my direction...as makes the turn, he gets hit by a suburban.....the blazer was about to flip over on its side, but instead it just tailwhips into the max and my car saves it from flippin over on its side.......long story short...it was the old guys fault in the blazer...suburban took the crash kind of bad, which shocked me...the max now has damage...loookin at bent hood, driver side light is pushed in, grill is pushed in, front bumper has a little damage....all in all, i see some new goodies...:D

damn man... that sucks, but since you already have ideas i guess it aint so bad... are you gettin any insurance money since you were jus sittin at a light??

i should, i mean THEY messed my car up,,,the officer said all the driver of the blazer was gettin charged with the accident...so i guess i'll be callin his insurance company everyday until they come look at my car and give me an estimate, and then i'll to 3 other places and get estimates and yada yada yada...anyone got any ideas on gettin the most money for the damage...i would like to get a stillen lip and maybe a carbon fiber hood and maybe a lil more....guess i'll have to wait though..ideas would be appreciated though!!

Dude, you're not going to scam that much out of the insurance company. just go to three good body shops and get estimates. (Dealers and GOOD shops are recommended.)

If you're lucky, they'll write you a check for the lowest of the three companies and consider it done.
If you're NOT lucky, then they'll only pay the body shop directly, AFTER they've fixed the car and see before& after pictures.

Scream that your neck and back hurt!!!:D

then get thrown in jail for insurance fraud.. they're bigger, have LOTS more money, and meaner lawyers.

:laugh:

Felony much??? Say hello to Bubba and his naughty jungle of love... :naughty:

Nobody here's an angel - and while I DO agree with what Matt said, just do what you think is 'right' in YOUR mind. If you think 'juicing' an insurance company is your version of right, then that's YOUR call. Just don't expect a lot of people to condone it, agree with it, or subscribe to that way of thinking.

Yup don't do it, just be happy if the insurance company takes care of the repairs.

Get a check from the insurance company, then go to your local pick a part and put the pieces back on, you'll save yourself a bunch a $ and feel alot better about it!
