Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed, especially when it comes to anything involved with a dealership, and even more so with salesmen. I mean, "keeping promises" and "car salesman".....Think about that for a second.

But you're not in that line of work and neither is anyone like you. Certain types of people get into sales and it's laughable to think that any of them have any kind of self awareness. Some idiots at the Hyundai dealership near us lost a sale on a genesis for the same reasons and we got a Lexus instead.

Thanks guys. Steering wheel airbag went off but not the side bags for some reason. Pretty much a textbook front overlap, the car did it's job and i was able to walk from it (tho i don't remember that lol) one of the reasons I got the car was because of the good crash ratings. The cops at the scene told me the other driver said "I ran a red light and somebody hit me"

meatpimp posted:drat, AA... glad you ended up okay. Are you going with another xb? I dunno, I really liked it a lot but it got pretty lovely mpg for a four cylinder tbh. I guess it's gonna depend on how much money I end up with after I sue her rear end, a new bare bones Civic like Adiabatic got sounds nice. Without the oil leaks of course.....Or I could always go Miata since that's never the wrong Answer What sucks is I just put new TRD suspension on it, new tires, transmission service yadda yadda. Not gonna make that back with the payoff i don't think but maybe I'll get lucky. When I got hit i was rocking out full blast to Dokken, and when I went to get my stuff out of the car today and turned the key to get the CD out of the player it started playing right where it left off before i got nailed and it triggered me big time, like took me back to right before it happened. I'm probably gonna have a hard time driving for a bit whenever i get back in a car. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Jul 11, 2019 |

STR posted:Holy poo poo, that thing is loving demolished. Given how the toaster looked, I wasn't expecting anything nearly that bad. Any idea how fast she was going? The guy that was behind me and witnessed the whole thing (thank god) estimated that she was going about 60mph. I was doing 30 tops. I did not see her coming until she was maybe ten feet away from me, all I had time to do was think "oh gently caress" and then it was lights out. I guess it's good in a way that i didn't have time to brace for impact and have my arms/wrists broken or something, but then again if I had that much time I might have been able to avoid it? Idk. It keeps running through my head and it will probably stay with me for awhile unfortunately. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Jul 12, 2019 |

It's a Versa but yeah it's amazing. The guy at the tow yard said he is constantly amazed by the amount of people walking in to see their destroyed cars so the manufacturers must be doing something right.MomJeans420 posted:I try to look down perpendicular streets as I'm approaching them, but if someone is going way too fast or there's an obstruction, there's just nothing you can do.

Tremek posted:This sounds familiar I love V8s but honestly where I live (urban sprawl Florida) it's just a waste. Gonna be looking a manual 2014 toaster that's for sale nearby, have never driven a manual xB and from what I've heard it kinda sucks (something about lovely clutch feel) but I'll judge for myself. Maybe there might be a clutch assist spring thingy like in GTIs or something and it can be modded? Idk. Other than that, once I find out the policy limits of the idiot drunk that hit me I might be able to afford new in which case I'm seriously considering a base manual Civic like Adiabatic got, or a Corolla hybrid which looks like an amazing car for urban driving.....All the benefits of a Prius without actually driving an ugly rear end Prius, 53mpg city starting at $23k. slidebite posted:Late to this, but that really sucks dude. Breathing sucks with broken ribs, laughing is even worse.... but sneezing worse than that. Yeah I've had broken ribs before (skateboarding lol) so I know the drill and it sucks. As soon as the doc told me i was like gently caress, here we go again. I'll take it tho considering it could have been a hell of a lot worse if I was a second later and she slammed into my door......Geez I would have been hosed up pretty bad i think. The cops said they were going to charge her but it hasn't been official yet, my wife checked her record and she was driving on a suspended license as well so she's proper hosed.

The Soul is alright, I've just always liked the xB better. And I trust a Toyota more than a Kia anyways. I'm sure my son would love for me to get a military spec Hummer but I wouldn't have anywhere to put the drat thing it's too big One of the first real Hummers I ever saw was owned by the Macho Man (Randy Savage) who lived down the street from me. He had one of those and a Viper, both painted the same, completely black with the Viper having a silver racing stripe. First time I'd ever seen a Viper up close too, he'd always stop at the local 7-11 or Walgreens and i'd drool on them.

MrOnBicycle posted:Edit: ^^^Makes me happy that dealers here in Sweden generally just say hi and ask if they can help with anything then leave you alone to wander around. We considered one but got an LS430 instead. The 4th gen is definitely the better car, don't even waste time with the 3rd gen car. I loved it and wanted to get one but it was for my wife and she liked the LS much better so she chose that instead. Really can't go wrong with a Lexus either way though.

KakerMix posted:We went with the vinyl 'Free Fit' flooring and that was complete and utter garbage. Warped a couple years in, domed and did everything it was never supposed to do. Just a complete and utter waste of time. We just ate the cost and put straight up tile throughout our house, plank-style tiles of course, but yeah this poo poo will not warp no matter what. If you guys are going to do flooring don't compromise because it sucks terribly to have to do your entire floor twice in 6 years What is the free fit flooring? Never heard of it. We have been considering doing our entire house with vinyl I want to make sure we get it right. Kinda weird that vinyl would warp, that's what real wood would do and i thought the whole point of going vinyl was to avoid that.

KakerMix posted:This stuff. They come in plank sizes just like wood, you late them flat and that's pretty much it. Didn't matter though, because each plank started to warp and curl in on itself so suddenly the nice fit that it had is much less because each plank is slightly smaller than what it was originally. When it was brand new though it was great, soft and warm to the touch in a pleasant way. That's bizarre....Did you let them acclimate for awhile before you installed them? I've just never heard of that happening with vinyl before. Some friends of our did theirs a few years ago in vinyl and didn't have any issues. Maybe it's just that company you got it from, or have you heard of other issues with different manufacturers?

meatpimp posted:Is Geico your company? Also the other driver's? You should be steering the conversation from the way the accident happened. ? Both myself and the other driver. My lawyer has warned me when that's the case Geico likes to put a percentage of blame on the victim for not avoiding the accident. But he also said if they try that he's going to tell them to gently caress off. So far it's been a week, they haven't looked at the car yet and I don't have a rental, not having a car is a pain in the rear end.

So we figured out last night that who we thought was a good friend of ours is actually pretty loving judgemental, kinda funny how poo poo comes out when people are drunk. They drank way too much for me anyway so I'm fine with kicking them to the curb, but my wife is really hurt because she was more invested and took the brunt of it....What the gently caress is wrong with people? Also their kid and our kid are good friends, so it makes it even harder because of that. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Jul 21, 2019 |

Saw the new Supra in the flesh today getting delivered to a local dealer and being put in the showroom, it was perfect timing right as we pulled up and my son flipped out It was a "Launch Edition" and apparently they already had offers of 30k over invoice. Was a gorgeous car tho, looks way better in person.

I was originally test driving new cars because I'll be getting money from my accident, but that may be awhile now since I gotta go through all the injury protocol, could be a year or more before I see any of that. My payout for the xB will be around 8k and although that would be a nice down payment, my credit sucks and we'd still be stuck with two car payments then so that ain't gonna work. I really wanted a new Civic Sport manual but it's going to have to wait. In the meantime I need a loving car and used dealers are worse then new dealers, this sucks. [e] I found another xB with low miles at a great price........And it's at a Mercedes Benz dealer in Palm Beach 180 miles away
