Rod Caster Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 That was quite the wind storm yesterday. I've been meaning to cut the only two trees that could fall on things for two years, but kept procrastinating. Lesson learned...another. They are both gone now.
lew Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Heck of a lousy Christmas present from Mother Nature..
Gerritt Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Cars can be fixed or replaced, lives can't. Be thankful no one got hurt. Merry Christmas
Rod Caster Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Posted December 25, 2015 You got it. It sucks but could be worse. Nothing I can do now but work with it
leaf4 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Yikes! That stinks but we can be thankful for insurance! Merry Christmas and hopefully it doesn't continue into 2016 lol
chris.brock Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 That sucks Chad but thankfully nobody was hurt. How bad is the left A pillar?
aplumma Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Sorry to see this Chad. Be safe on the clean up and best wishes for the days ahead. Art
Rod Caster Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Posted December 25, 2015 The a-pillar took a lot of weight and is quite crumpled; I'll have to remove the fender and plastic shrouding to see what it really looks like in there
cheaptackle Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Why are you even clearing the trees out Chad? Insurance would take care of that and the car too would it not? Michael
ketchenany Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 That is bad man! I would have put a bow on it and sent the insurance company a pictute! Glad everyone is ok.
lookinforwalleye Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 That should buff right out.....sorry could not resist!!! Glad nobody got hurt...my insurance agent told me one time that if a tree falls away from property then you are responsible for removal if it falls on or against your property insurance will cover it....
206 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 these photo's are tragic....December and you have to have your beer in a cooler on ice
Rod Caster Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Posted December 25, 2015 My mechanic friend also jokes that it would "buff right out" haha No insurance claim will be made. I'll deal with it myself. I'll end up paying that money back in increased premiums anyway. I can't stand dealing with insurance. If a windshield can go in, then I might be able to fix it for under 2,000.
Old Ironmaker Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Wow that left a mark. Look at the positive, you were looking at around $700.00 a tree around here if you couldn't fall it yourself. I used to park my old beater under the trees and nothing happened. A few months after buying my first ever new truck, you guessed it. Nothing like your mishap though Chad.
wask Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Terrible man, sorry to see that happen.
Old Ironmaker Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 There shouldn't be a rate increase for comprehensive. Ours isn't, 3 claims in as many years no increase just as my agent said. One for a windshield crack and then the rear window smashed by a bottle at her work by punks and a racoon on the road tore the front fender off.
Steelheadphycho Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Dude that HOOTS! You did get lucky in so many other ways. Missed the house, a person, that cooler of beer........ I hope the repairs go smoothly!
Rod Caster Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Posted December 26, 2015 I can't be bothered with insurance unless I run into something/somebody. With a $1,000 deductible, and a good chance I switch insurance companies next year, I'll just take my lumps, avoid a claim on my record, and keep them out of my business. The search for Corolla parts begins!
Mister G Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 You have a $1000 deductible on "comp".....if so that's quite unusual.
Fish Farmer Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Wholly Gess Good job it didn't hit the house and no one got hurt.
mikeh Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 too bad about the car, can't believe there is no snow on the ground up there.
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 There shouldn't be a rate increase for comprehensive. Ours isn't, 3 claims in as many years no increase just as my agent said. One for a windshield crack and then the rear window smashed by a bottle at her work by punks and a racoon on the road tore the front fender off. Exactly. I hit a deer once and did almost $8K damage to the vehicle. No increase. Same when my car got hail damage.
