I saw this car once. It was hauling rear end, and that’s no bull.

Make sure you accuse them of just wanting the car for themselves. You can also threaten to get a lawyer for a 400$ dispute, that's a real winner. (Really your only avenue to raise the value of a total loss is to dispute the comps, but that will be a slog and you need to decide how much you value your time. If another carrier accepts fault make sure you ask both companies to value your car because I've seen estimates that were 1000+ apart.) Also, as a PSA:  Please get gap insurance when you buy your car

But don't get it when you're talking financing with the dealer. Get it from your car insurance provider/credit union/etc. Anyone but the dealer because this is one of those rip offs that costs waaaaaaaay too much when the dealer does it because they charge a super high rate and then roll it into the loan to make it look like "see, it's only $12 per month, real cheap!"

Last weekend I drove 300 km and it occurred to me that the only horn I hear was my own, when someone attempted to change lanes into me. I drove the same distance this weekend and heard no horns at all. It’s almost unnerving.

In Miami I normally only ever hear horns when people don't go on a green light, as opposed to Manhattan where all vehicles use their horns every few seconds to echolocate other vehicles.

I love how my neighbor's rides signal they're there. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK HONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONK HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK repeatedly with screams of "COME ON BRO LET"S MOVE" interspersed until they leave, at which point whatever lovely music they previously had pounding too loud gets cranked up to "Rattle your teeth" I need to move to suburbia.

The worst neighbors are the ones with motorbikes. I like bikes just fine, they look cool and fun. But every last one of them can gently caress off with their loud as poo poo exhaust as a posse of them rolls past my driveway.

xzzy posted:The worst neighbors are the ones with motorbikes. I've never owned a bike with an exhaust loud enough to annoy my neighbors even with a few bikes with aftermarket exhausts, like that VFR I had. That or my neighbors will lie to my face if asked "Hey is this too loud? I don't want to be that guy" but given that most of them are old straight talkers I doubt it. I always joke with my next door neighbor that I'm the loud annoying one of the neighborhood and he just laughs at me and tells me he doesn't even hear me out in the garage at night, just occasionally notices my light on

xzzy posted:The worst neighbors are the ones with motorbikes. One of my neighbors starts up his loud pipe Harley every Sunday around 8-8:30pm for half an hour. He doesn't go anywhere he just sits on his bike letting it idle, with the occasional rev. I would ask him why but a) he's probably too stupid to understand that battery chargers exist, and b) I'm only here for a few more months and I don't want to know the guy well enough to talk to him.

I'll take loud revving Harleys over the assholes on sport bikes who routinely blast down my residential 25 MPH zone street well into triple digits throughout the summer. I'd call the cops but you're more likely than not to see an unplated motorcycle in my neighborhood, plus I'm so far off the beaten path that response time is well over 10 minutes.

The good thing is they'll probably kill themselves in reasonably short order. I often wonder what motorcycle safety statistics would look like if you removed the lunatics that do ridiculously dangerous poo poo as a matter of course.

When I rode a motorcycle (a Super Cub, surprisingly loud), I'd go through this one residential neighborhood on most trips, because I preferred to avoid the main road. There was a stop sign right before it. There were houses on either side, opposite each other, and my exhaust note echoed like crazy between them. I found myself torn between two options. Twist the hell out of it and get up to speed in a couple of seconds, but make a loving racket, or take it slow and make less noise, but do it far longer. Which do you folks find less obnoxious?

It's kind of a secondary arterial, just one block of it has houses on it. There's a goddamn traffic light at the other end of that block.

My neighbor starts his Harley around 5:30a every morning and politely feathers the throttle down the block. Thanks, but I'm already awake from the Bap!-Bap!-Brrrap! startup. Got some petty schadenfreude in yesterday afternoon when it was just absolutely shitstorming during his commute home.

If you're inconsiderate enough to drive some noisy piece of poo poo around at odd hours, don't pretend you're making any concessions by adjusting your route. Just own it, you suck. It's ok, lots of people in this world suck and life goes on.
