I'm sure it is affordable to carry millions of dollars in coverage only because it's very uncommon for that sort of coverage to actually be used in those countries due to the lack of ambulance chasing lawyers.

My grandmother is on the hook for about 100 grand in medical bills above and beyond the insurance payout from the texting 20 year old girl who ran a red light and t-boned her at about 50 MPH.

If they don't have any recoverable assets (the vast overwhelming majority of 20 year olds don't), suing them not only won't make you any better off, it will actually leave you in a worse position because you'll be out your legal fees even if you win.

Are we still doing insurance chat in the mechanical failure thread? Neat. I GIS'ed "failed bearing" and here's a result.  It's a mechanical component that failed.

Maker Of Shoes posted:Are we still doing insurance chat in the mechanical failure thread? Neat. pshhhhhh. That has a few miles left in it, the bearings still stay inside the cage. I took this inner pinion bearing cage out of a running driving vehicle. Rearend was reported to have made some ugly noises but it drove to where we pulled it out, then I dragged the axle home for parts and found this later.  That's how it was in there, I didn't smash it up for show. When I pushed the pinion gear in far enough to produce some clearance, it sounded like someone dumped a handful of gravel in my oil drain bucket from all the former roller bearings falling out.

Correct. My grandmother was driving a Ford panther. The impact was on the passenger side and caved the side of that loving tank of a car in 26" Drivers side would have probably killed her instantly.

The cylinder itself was in decent enough shape, but the ball joint is welded to the end of it which failed. The loving thing cost $450 which didn't help my mood when I was removing it. the fixed end of it is pressed into such a location where you can't get a pickle fork in there. I had to stand on the front wheels with a 4 foot crow bar and a large hammer stuck down between the fan and the radiator and beat the poo poo out of it till it came loose.

Spent some time bullshitting with these guys this morning, great place and if you ever make a trip I'd highly recommend renting from them. Horrible failure of the human nature, as we were checking out a guy was sitting at the counter placing a call to the German police to report an incident. Bad news when the phone call goes like "Hi do you speak English? I'd like to report an incident." No sign of the car at the shop after so assuming pretty bad.

InitialDave posted:Can you have it cut off and put threads on it to take an off-the-shelf ball joint instead? I have heard of people doing that, but considering that tractor is a 1988 model and it lasted this long, just bite the bullet and put another OEM one on there. The head end of it us right by the oil sump and is a whore to get at.

Holy poo poo, the best part about this failure is that they think the valvetrain (and probably more realistically, the bottom of the combustion chamber) did it. I've always been impressed by the Rent4Ring Swifts, I remember reading one article from them awhile ago where they added up the maintenance requirements on the Swift and it was like "we can own and run ten Suzuki Swifts for the TCO of one E92 M3." I have no idea how to find technical articles on their website, all of their news is old.  Suzuki should just give them direct sponsorship and tear the cars down at the end of a season, like the BMW Ring Taxi.I'd be proud to rent one of those little fuckers.

They have a little trouble on the long climbs, especially if you lose momentum before. Other than that we had a blast in the Swift and considered just running that both days. Steering, brakes and everything about the car is excellent and makes it fun to drive on the track. We ended up sticking with the 125i for day 2 and holy poo poo that's fun.
