Get them out nothing but problems….
A man who police believe is in the U.S. illegally is facing federal charges for allegedly stealing data through credit card skimmers around the Northeast.https://www.wmur.com/article/romario-serban-arrest-walmart-card-skimmer-nh/60659921

Looks like a parent dragging their toddler out of the toy aisle for having a tantrum because they couldn’t get a toy.

😂 your co worker is an idiot. Model s modules are a favorite for home back up power and solar storage. Old batteries bring good money.
He wasn’t the brightest bulb but hey he got a free Tesla. He was supposed to take the battery out and sell it when he was first given the car. I think the motor was bad though I don’t really remember the thing was destroyed wasn’t much good on it. I have no idea what he ended up doing with it after he quit. I swiped the emblem for my collection though lol

I had some PDI done on my BMW a few years ago. A squirrel or cat had knocked some 2x4’s off of the ceiling beams in the garage onto the hood. Could’ve been my dead ex wife too. She hated that car.
Anyway, I didn’t turn it in for a claim and paid out of pocket as it was only $400. I did ask the auto body guy what companies paid the best or the worst. That lead to an interesting conversation. I’ve known him for years and he has a good reputation. He said that State Farm and American Family were the easiest. Progressive and Geico sucks ass
I agree with him 👍. State Farm is good in my book and who I use. new one Chubb insurance we’ve worked with a handful of times seems good no hassle or bs oem parts only I believe too. Progressive is the absolute worst biggest bunch of scum bags we’ve ever dealt with and geico isn’t far behind.

100% salvage vehicles they bring lots of money. Bid on this one on copart is up to $9500. Lots of after market like them for swaps in classic cars and such.

This one was literally given to a coworker. The story was the guy couldn’t find anyplace to take the thing. It sat out back for couple years until he quit and towed it away.

I’ve never had an insurance claim on my home, car, bike, snowmobile, van. It’s time something happens to get a little back.
It’s a fun time you’re missing out. I spent a month arguing about oem part usage with the insurance of the guy that hit my wifes car

It is usually easy to spot a panel that has been repaired and painted, beside a panel with OEM paint.
If it were my truck, and some asshole keyed it, I’d want nothing but being made whole.
Full paint job, please.I got rear ended by a semi, while I was stopped in traffic. He hit me so hard I got stuffed into the two vehicles in front of me. 2 year old truck in mint condition. I used that truck for my business. 401 under the 409.
Bent the frame. I fought with my, yep my insurance company, because of no fault insurance, to just buy me out.
No they said, we are fixing it, heat the frame and bend it back. Called a lawyer. That gave them the ability to cut off all my rehab, rental vehicles etc. They bled me dry in a matter of weeks. I had to lament. A month goes by and the body shop, a friend of the family says it’s mostly done. Take it for a week and see if it’s good, and bring it back…we’ll do the final stuff.Had it for the week, seemed good. Was going to take it back that night. Again, stopped in traffic and I got rear ended by a fully loaded cube van. 403 ramp to the QEW.
The frame, where it was heated, folded faster than superman on laundry day. The box hit the cab and fucked more shit up.
I lost my shit on the insurance company, knowing they were in ultimate control.
Again, they said we are going to fix it and brought in a used frame.
I learned a lesson from my previous interaction.
Ok, that’s your prerogative. You need to put every one of my existing parts, brake lines, ball joints, shocks etc on that frame, or you replace with new.Imagine replacing an entire frame, under a 4x4 pickup.
And by the way, every one of these parts you have to swap better be good, because I will keep this truck until the day I die and you will get sued if any defect causes me harm, in any way.
If I get injured thanks to your shitty policy, I’ll sue you until I’m a baller.
They finally bought the truck, and paid me enough to get a replacement.
A lot of newer truck frames and panels in general can’t be heated like that for the exact reason you described in the second accident. It specifically states in the repair procedures if heating is allowed and if it is how long it can be heated or where. I know Ive brought it up here before when salvage cars were brought up. Likely why they bought it back they realized they fucked up didn’t want to get sued. Truck frame swaps are simple btw especially on nice newer trucks not rusty yet. I’d take swapping a truck frame any day over replacing a unibody frame rail talk about a nightmare.

Pdr is pretty reasonable priced here too usually couple hundo for handful of smaller dents.

What a dumb son of a bitch lol. How do people not realize you can’t get away with crap like that anymore cameras everywhere now.
On 4/27/2024 at 9:51 AM, XCR1250 said:$6,000 to paint a Pickup truck?? I had 1 of mine painted for $800 and another for $1,300 including some rusty body work.
You got a steal of a deal on that. I wouldn’t even paint a car on the side cash under the table for that cheap. 6k is a very realistic price at a decent shop. The last complete paint job I worked on before the shop started basically only doing insurance collision work fix some dents and rust and paint including jams was 18k bucks and this was 3-4 years ago. Quality materials aren’t cheap neither is labor. Just some prices off the top of my head for materials we use. Gallon of ppg dplf epoxy primer/activator is $500 bucks. Gallon of ppg k38 high build primer/activator $450 bucks. A gallon of ppg paint a lot depends on color and tints used but for example the color I used on my car ford race red gallon in ppg $1200 bucks. Clear coat couple hundred to few hundred depending what you use. -

Thanks to how things are at the border they are basically impossible to hire now. They cost around $30/hr here and getting them up for the season is near impossible. My local CSA had to stop their weekly shares because they can't get enough help. They've had some of the same H-2A workers for more than 20 years, but thanks to the current last two administrations they can't get here.
Even more sad is that locals won't even show up for $30/hr.
How things are at the border and impossible to hire aka it’s cheaper for companies to exploit illegals than do it legitimately. It’s pretty simple in my mind deport and stop illegal immigration it fixes multiple issues cost to the us tax payer, crime, and will make greedy businesses pay a decent wage instead of using cheap illegals to boost their profits.

there's a massive supply over-run people aren't discussing.
Sunday I drove past a small implement dealer that must have had 100 small brand new Kubotas sitting on their lot. Idk who they plan to sell them to? Same with new cars/trucks, boats, sleds, etc, etc, etc.
Between existing debt and current interest rates... Chickens may be coming home to roost.
Same here the Deere and kubota dealers I drive by few times a week the lots are packed full and seems like it’s the same stuff that’s been sitting there for months. Seeing some leftover sleds 3k off msrp not bad but not enough. There seems to be a shit load of sxs at one place I go by people finally figuring out 40k maybe a little insane for a sxs.

Pretty crazy that they still are intact after 250years. I’d think a basement be fairly dry for the liquid to be water in the jars so I’m going with booze. Someone needs to try the cherries lol.
