It still shouldn't cost him $4000 to get it fixed (even without body work) unless all he has is Liability insurance. Liability doesn't cover hit & run accidents. That's generally covered under Collision. He likely went with the cheapest option - Liability only. Now he's paying out the wazoo for not having Collision. I've mentioned before, my car was hit in a Walgreen's parking lot. It was a hit & run. No one saw what happened and the parking lot didn't have security cameras. My insurance covered all of it under Collision. I have a $500 deductible but I got an unwitnessed accident report form from the Sheriff's department to submit to my insurance carrier. They cut the deductible in half. My car was only in the shop for a week and all I paid was $250. (They provided me with a rental car, too. John still has "BabyII" so he didn't need a rental.) Jill |

My brothers and I were expected to mow the lawn, rake the leaves, take out the trash, clean our bedrooms, help Mom with the laundry. His stance was he worked to put food on the table and paid for the clothes on our backs. We did get a little pocket money but not a set allowance. Jill |

We was pretty thorough and well respected in the business. He was dealing with people who had cars anywhere from 20-80 years old. If they were stolen, crashed or otherwise damaged, they would be worth next to nothing without that appraisal. > You should apply for it. Maybe they will give you 50 bucks not to > bother them again. That can work with insurance claims. I once had a number of crappy trees blow over in a wind storm. I called my insurance company and they said the trees were not covered but clean-up was. One of them had ripped up a couple tile from the septic bed. I had to get estimates. Then the games started. They found reasons it could not be covered.... earth shift. I called a number of times and argued with him about it. He finally offered me $750 to shut me up, not in those exact words. A friend of mine heated his house with wood and he came over and cleaned up the mess and took all the wood. I replaced the two tiles that had been displaced and pocketed the $750. |

It's no surprise he went with the state minimum required coverage. I guess he'd rather pay $4100 out of pocket (without the body work) than pay a few bucks more for Collision insurance. Kudos! Jill |

So for $900 you would have saved $4000. Actually more as > they would have fixed the body for another $2500. He's too focused on the "evils" of insurance. He can't seem to grasp the fact that by not paying a bit more for Collision insurance it just cost him a heck of a lot more money. But hey! Down with the evil insurance companies! FWIW, I never felt like I've been "fleeced by" an insurance company. I have full coverage: Liability, Collision, UI, UM, free towing and rental car coverage for about $400 a year. $500 deductible. When my car was hit in a parking lot - yes, it was a hit & run, unwitnessed accident - all I paid out of pocket was $250. My insurance carrier cut my deductible in half after I submitted an unwitnessed accident form provided by the Sheriff's department. The insurance company didn't raise my rates, either. The only entity he's being "fleeced by" is himself. Oh, and the repair shop. Jill |

He'd rather pay $4100 out of pocket than pay a few extra bucks per year for full coverage and only have to pay the deductible. I thought he was in love with this car yet he couldn't pay a few bucks more for insurance coverage? I'm sure the mechanics who worked on it are laughing all the way to the bank. Jill |

Depends which soup. The low calorie ones are terrible, watery and tasteless. The rich and hearty ones are excellent. I only buy some when they are on sale, the regular price I think is too high... $3 for a can of soup is outrageous. At the beginning of fall they drop below half price. They're very convenient for when I don't feel like cooking a large pot of soup and feel like something different from what I have in the freezer. Their chunky tomato is very good turned into eggdrop... very thick with a rich tomato flavor, could possibly be used as a pasta sauce. I add a half cup of water (that I use to rinse out the remains in the can) and thicken with cornstarch, and while boiling stir in two beaten eggs, good with crispy chow mein noodles. I add fresh ground white pepper and a splash of soy sauce. There are several Progresso soups that I like, their Italian wedding soup is very good too, I add a pinch of Italian herb blend and a shake of parm. I typically add to canned soups. |

In the USA, even poor people with no insurance or money can go into a hospital emergency room. No one is refused and they even expect that they might not get paid. However, that's for the initial problem. If you require future surgeries for better repairs, then you're out of luck. An EMT told me once that if I ever have to go to an emergency room, call a (free here) ambulance and let them take you there. The ambulance people get right in for care. If you drive yourself there, you might sit and wait for hours unless it's a life threatening emergency. ==== I didn't know that and I am very pleased to hear it!! |
