Give it time. With any luck it'll turn out like the thread "New California Gas Tax". :crackup:?

That one went 25 pages talking about

the new gas tax to
corporate welfare
SS/investments
healthcare
guns
moving from a blue to red state
Haha once I saw where that thread was going I had to stay out of it for my own sanity because I don't have the money to hop ship. Plus, I try not to talk too much politics n' such to also stay sane :) Luckily San Diego is slightly red so it's not the worst but it can be quite blue dependent on who you surround yourself with. Myself, I don't care what party as long as you are chill about it :turkey:

That's a sure fire way to get banned that's why I backed out of it. I think there's some "lenience" if you're just talking about a red or blue state but once it gets deep into an argument about certain parties and such, that's not good. The country is to divided now to have these discussions especially on a truck forum where nothing good will come of it. I'll just say both parties suck and neither have our best interest in mind! :mad:

Agreed with everything you said 100%. Especially the part that both parties(? ) suck and the country being quite divided, unfortunately...?

Slight update: so yes, like @Bludrok mentioned that I should look into comprehensive coverage. However, I sent them an email and they said since it was a hit and run, I would have to file a police report. the insurance would have to decide if it’s a collision or comprehensive but said more than likely it will be collision since it’s a hit and run. Thus, this would probably add a ping to my car fax, and I would have to go through all these hurdles for a potential couple hundred back. Looks like I am just going to do PDR guys and look into some fender flares/rock sliders. Unfortunate.
I'm not an insurance agent, but have more than enough experience in this area and I believe your insurance company flat out lied to you - or your explanation caused them to give this response. Either way, law enforcement is not going to do a hit and run report because it wasn't a hit and run, your vehicle wasn't moving, the damage is clearly not caused by a moving vehicle, and it the damage occurred in a private lot; without suspect information, no report would be taken.

It seems to me that your insurance company just didn't want to pay out - it should have been covered by your comprehensive. If I were you, I'd call and ask for a manager, explain everything, and see if they'll reimburse your cost on the PDR - you've already paid your dues.

I hate it when people are screwed over.

TL;DR - it's not a collision; ergo, it is covered under comprehensive.

I really appreciate this response, I will respond to their email with pretty much outlining what you said. I haven't responded yet because I was unhappy with the response as is. I guess that one guy who posted the article about top ten worst insurance companies and how they use gimmicks to not pay you out wasn't entirely wrong. I really really thank you for helping me with this, might save me a few hundred.

If that was the case Mr. Sherlock Holmes @FoD , I would just be honored that he spent time retyping to give it the perfect touch via emoji :handsinair:

P.S. Sometimes I do this too that's why :crackup:

Sunny,
That's right...I use the buddying method whenever I can. I went to Lowes just when Covid was settling down and people were getting back to normal. The rage was on for home improvement projects and the parking lot looked like the overflow at an NFL game. As I was pulling into the safest space I could find, a guy in a new Vette that was top end all the way parked next to me. I got out and we discussed a plan to keep us protected and we survived without an incident :whew:.

Trader Joe's is another treacherous place with small, skimpy parking lots and narrow lanes. I always park across the street at a mall that has a huge lot with an abundance of extra parking :)
Was just thinking of this post. Looks like I got Some new scratches. From someone trying to walk between my car. Can definitely buff it out tho.
