Lets face it, if she doesn't have insurance, and she was driving a 2000 Hyundai shitbox, she probably has nothing.

Currently waiting for a call from my agent. I'm so confused because it still says my deductible is waved, but it isn't or something. Also, apparently metlife gives you a free rental if you're hit by an un-insured motorist.

More to come.

Ok so here's the story...

Apparently, for mass, if you are less than 50% at fault, and can give the correct information for the person at fault, your deductible is waved.

It has 0 to do with if they are covered or not. So Metlife is going to go after Geico, and since she wasn't covered they will go after the woman personally. If they get nothing from her, they will not come after me.

Found this interesting, and against everything I thought about insurance companies.

Only thing is, I'm up shit creek about the rental. Boo!

That sounds right from my experience. Your insurance company covers you for the damage and they go after whoever they can to get money--whether they get it or not from an uninsured motorist is their problem.

So I brought the subie to the shop to get fixed. The guy said since I have to pay for the rental, he's going to order all the parts now, and told me to drop the car off monday, pick it up tuesday.

Also, he agreed that whoever the insurance guy is that came and did my estimate must have downs. He's looking at it and goes, "You got rear ended right?"

"Yea..."

"Why the hell does he have the FRONT bumper being replaced, and 3 hours of repair on the rear?"

"I'm no expert, but I asked the same question..."

So he goes and looks at the car, comes back in and calls his parts guy. Turns out there were quite a few issues with the adjustment, but I'll leave with 2 new bumpers.

Also, a complete side note, if anybody is contemplating ordering something from AMSoil, I HIGHLY recommend getting your stuff from Greg here. His price to me was cheaper than I could get it online including the preferred re-seller account thing. A+!

Does the front bumper have any damage? Why not just have them do the back and kee the money for the front?

Billy, what time and where do you want to meet tomorrow?

Yea, but the back is where the woman plowed into me doing 25ish, yet the guy wrote it up as a repair.

Whatever...

Can't wait to see what kind of sweet rental car I get for a day though.

Get your ass in gear then.

Lets plan on like 10ish? I plan on taking the subie to Joes to get an oil change, then I'll call you and we can meet at HF.

Em is gone all weekend so I have nothing to do, but am so pooped I don't want to go anywhere...

You'll have to give me the juicy details tomorrow Billy.

How was that airstrip? Seemed like a cool place to dick around on google maps.

Billy. Plan is for me to get oil changed around 8:30-9, with a 10:00 meetup at HF. I'll let you know if anything changes. I'll have to leave around 4:30ish to go pick Em up from the airport.
