Default accident question

well, progressive just left my house a little while ago. some lady hit me in the side banging up both doors pretty good on the bottom, and scratching up one rim. i brought it to F-40 motorsports here in CT and got an estimate of $3500 for all parts and labor, and of course progressive lowballs it quite a bit. their estimate was $1900. i dont buy it, i want my car fixed right or ill firebomb the lady's house that hit me. will the body shop somehow get all the money out of them? the only good part is that im getting a rental for a few days, probably a chevy cavalier but it will be damn fun. they are going to wish they never gave an 18 year old a rental car. bwaaaahahahahaha

Default Hey I'm dealing with progressive now. Watch your back..

make sure you get dealt right. Always take it to someone you trust for body work. Make sure it's not An approved bodyshop of progressive. And Don't accept a cavalier. You drive an audi right?.. Get an upgrade, to something of equal value. And don't settle your claim till way after you get your car back. Progressive is a sleazy company from what I've had to deal with. Claims adjuster are people looking out for their companies interests, not yours.

Default Have you ever seen......

the movie CKY2K, its the Jackass guys before they were Jackass, its a pro skater video. Anyway, to put it nicely, they had *some fun* with a rental in that video. You should see it. Oh, and for Audi content so this isnt OT, Bam Margera, the head jackass guy, has a Black 2.8 A4, and a Nogaro S4.
