i dont think they will either. but if they do they will write you a check. so you can buy the car back and fix it yourself. youll prob have some extra cash anyhow for some upgrades.

well im still waiting on the insurance guys.

**onetroubledguy** · 03-05-2009, 06:17 AM

My tires pretty much have no tread left either. I spin them all the time. Sometimes on purpose, others not, but always in control. Guess it's not worth the risk though.

That quarter panel can be beat back into place and bondo'd. Trunk looks fine, need a new tail light and rear bumper. Hope the axel/suspension is ok-upgrade to a beefy Moser and some Koni shocks if it's not

.

we really need to teach you about auto body repair...

that rear quarter panel will need to be replaced. the uni-body structure of the car has been compremised. replacement is also cheaper in terms of the materials and man hours needed over beating and bondo(ing) back the rear quarter to its original shape and function...

he might be able to salvage the rear bumper, but will need a new tail-light, rear quarter and any structural support members used to re-inforce those areas as well, a wheel and possibly a LCA for the passenger side...

LMFAO@repairing that quarter panel

That thing is absolute toast. The bumper is gone too. I can't remember off the top of my head if the Fbodys have a "lower" 1/4 panel piece behind where the bumper and 1/4 meet(like the Impalas do).

The shop and insurance appraiser are going to write a preliminary estimate, they won't know the full extent of the damage until the 1/4 panel is cut off....I doubt you'll have any inner 1/4 panel damage.

so they totaled my car out! and they dont wanna pay me

**RedVertTA** · 03-06-2009, 08:01 PM

What do you mean they don't want to pay you? If you have full coverage they HAVE too lol

**whiteLS1TA** · 03-07-2009, 06:27 PM

yea i have full coverage but they talking about they need proof that i actually wrecked on that day. all this because i had renewed my insurance policy a few weeks before the wreck. i've been insured with progressivw for 2 and half years now.

**Frosty** · 03-07-2009, 08:03 PM

What a shitty game they're playing.

**Hi-Po** · 03-08-2009, 10:49 AM

Fucking BS. I just put PLPD on my TA just because I put 5 miles on it every other day Data Logging. they told me if I EVER want to take the PLPD off, or go back to my full coverage I would have to have a inspector come out and look at my car.

I told them I am dropping them cause they are crazy expensive.
