Things That Shit Me the Eighteenth

That sux.

Mrs R before we got together had a Datsun 120Y mint condition with vinyl roof.

Someone smashed into it was it was parked.
And write it off

The old 120 y would you want one of them cars

Not sure .

I like minis I think they cool.
I would like a mini panel van for me and the dogs .
Mrs r can come too .

But I already got enough cars.

the agreed value insured amount is 14k. the damage done is in a really horrible spot. its not the bumper (take off and replace in worse case) nor the back door (take off and replace) - but the panel between which also has the fuel cap, which is welded to the car. so its an old fashioned panel beating job.
i have no idea what the cut off is damage v insured value for a write off - 70%+?? anyone know?
the damage could be upwards of 5k, who knows these days - inflation init

I got swiped on the other side. Looked like the rear quarter panel could be pulled. Then respray it and the rear door. There was a tiny new scratch on the wheel. I was thinking 2k but the bodyshop quoted 4k and the insurance company signed off based on a few photos. A hire car and a couple of Ubers and it would have come to about 5k. I didn't care because I wasn't paying but I guess it all feeds into our insurance premiums.

Yours will probably be more than 5k but I can't see how it would get anywhere near 14k.

from doing some reading, write-off range can be 50% to 70% so FMD, it could be written off from a 10 km/hr side swipe

I am saving up for a nice bullbar, lift kit and ATs etc so i can write little cars off that get in my way!

Thrift shop creeping into the Australian vocabulary. It's an op shop. Ya flamin galahs.

Cold but loving it. Opening ceremony in a few hours. Walking around Milan though you'd hardly know it's on. Very quiet.

My niece had her uninsured heap and of crap car written off by a bloke who had just picked up his brand new car that he hadn’t yet insured.

To their credit they gave her 4K for it which was great, but it certainly didn’t get her another car

 

[rocker_oz33]

Looks like we going chair shopping today .

Ohh joy this going to be a pearler.

When we went bed shopping all the sales guy was saying how good he was,
I wanted to walk away .

What did I miss? Why?

 

[Over The Post]

Quoted from Things That Shit Me The Thirteenth thread in 2019:

You would have loved being with me in the USA while the Nagano winter olympics were on. Four hours of Olympic coverage every evening in prime time. Three and a half hours of womens figure skating in excruciating detail because the US expected to get a medal. Night after night. Then thank **** they won, then it became three and a half hours of freestyle skiing every night because the US expected to get a medal. Half an hour highlights session at the end, normally devoted to replays of what we'd just seen and pumping up the US chances in other events, and occasionally mentions of other disciplines and "oh there's other countries here too" in the wrap-up. Literally, if the US weren't in it with a chance, it did not exist to them.

I’d love a handful of medals for Aussies and Canadian gold in hockey

Men’s hockey top 2 lines and powerplay unit is Dream Team stuff.

 

[raskolnikov]

I was at the opening ceremony last night. It shit me that the crowd didn't boo Vance.

Some Americans behind me booed the Canadian team.

I wasn't classless enough to boo the Yanks but we were standing to cheer the Ukrainians and when the Septics came out after them said to my mate loud enough for the Yanks behind me to hear, "I'll sit down for this one".

Maybe you’ve gone there with an Australian perspective.
