Yep, some asshole pulls in front of me in a parking and I hit him at 20 mph. He all real sorry and all saying it was his fault over and over again. His left front fender is crushed. The T-bird looks like it bumped into something. Very minor damage to front of Bird. Bezels not even bent bad. Just moved my fender back a 1/4 inch and moved the bumper over 1/2 inch.
The body shop said the the whole front clip is moved over 3/8 of an inch.

His Accura looks like it was hit by a train. This sucks. The body on the T-bird was almost perfect till now.

I just have minimum liability coverage. I hate this shit. The guy has Farmers Ins and I have State Farm

That was three weeks ago. Farmers told me to to get one quote for damages. Went to a Farmers Ins repair shop, got a quote for $1941.00 damage. Farmers told me if the damage was under $2,000 they would just send me a check. Sent in quote.

Well, yesterday they told me they needed to inspect the T-BIRD. So, I figure here we go with the crap. This is what happen at 3:10 pm;

Well the asshole showed up. The first question he asked me was what I though the T-bird was worth. I told him I was offered $6,000 (which I was). But, I wouldn't sell it because it's been in my family since it was new. He just started to take pictures of the car-the whole car. I told him that there was no damage in the rear as he took pictures around the car.

I told him this was an on going project. The vehicle sat for 14 years.

He asked me to let him take pictures of the mileage odometer, I open the door and he starts taking pictures of the interior. He didn't even take a picture of the odometer.
He was not even interested in the damage to the front.

Even a dumb shit like me can figure out what he was doing. They want pictures to try and total it or find a way for reduce the amount they will have to pay.
I blew it and asked him what he thought he was doing? He just looked at me. Why pictures of the whole vehicle? Why not pictures of the damage? Still no answer.
I told the sneaky SOB don't even attempt to total my car for 2,000. You tell those Mother Fuckers at the office don't even think about trying to total it. I won't be Fucked with. Yea, just like that but totally in his sneaky little- I'm your friend- face.
I think he was afraid for his life. He kept backing up and finally said in a little tiny voice I'm going to turn around and walk away now.

I told them from the beginning that my Mother me gave that vehicle before she died and asked me to fix it up.
I'm keeping that promise.

Now, I have to figure out what to do next. I'm ready to kill something. I'm not kidding here. I hate being Fucked with.


This is so Fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the people at work said it looked like I was going to kill that sneaky shit.

So I need a plan to take on the Fuckers. I told them at Farmers not to Fuck with me (yes just like that) before they sent that sneaky SOB over.

The easiest way to get the insurance company to shut up is to agree with them and then say - "OK now you guys go and find me another car just like this one in the same condition as this one for the money you just offered me and I will accept your terms".
