You can't be gender specific about this, there are way more men out there that can't handle the big beasts they drive than women. I see it all too often.:rolleyes:
 
Heck no i haven't got the deer hit replaced yet! I have been putting everything off until we get moved as that is my #1 priority. I claimed it originally, but then cancelled when i found out i could get a new hood & have it painted for cheaper than my deductible. So i stuck the grill back in & it's not really noticeable unless u see it from the side.


On another note, the inlaws insurance figured they would TOTAL my forester! At first i said no way because i knew i wouldn't be able to find a used subie in as good condition as mine for the money they wanted to pay ($3700). My 2nd option was the "owner retention" route. They are basically giving me $2800 for the dent & i get to keep! (no totaled vehicle history on title). This turned out really cool because i took it to 3 body shops and they said they could fix/ replace it for between $1400-$1600, so obviously i made out pretty good. It usually works out the other way with insurance coming in way lower then the body shops. I 'spose i cut a fat hog in the a$$ on this one. :cool:

Since it is a '99 with nearing 180,000 miles (almost 290,000 km) i figure i can have someone pop the dent best they can, then fix my hood when we get up to northern country. Get out of this whole thing for around $600. With her age, a little ding isn't going to make any diff in price.

Great to see the customer win for a change, instead of the insurance company :ebiggrin:
