FNBADAZ06 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 That's some el crapo suckage. Not enough damage to make it a big issue, but certainly enough for CarMax to put it on their report. You should take plenty of pics and file them with the ins. report, so when you decide to sell the car, you can better document the negative CarMax info. Roundabouts in AZ are way too small. The Happy Valley intersection needs totally rebuilt with at least a 4-lane bridge. I'd rather see stoplights than small roundabouts. Yes, I've taken many a picture for documentation.

Grayeagle Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Some people's kids .. I get a little 'wired' when someone proves they have no right to be in a motor vehicle by failing to actually 'drive' it. I've even considered building black pipe bumpers/grill guards on our truck just so I can tell the officer 'I just did not see that car pull out in front of me/cut me off ..sorry I totalled his POS, can I go now?' Wife gets a lil concerned when I say things like 'I will push him sideways until I stop' when we drive the truck. Funny story: Had a young couple in their 240Z come up to a sidestreet exit in front of me and stop halfway into the traffic lane. I was drivin our '69 half ton pickup, car beside me, saw the driver of the Datsun look at me, ..well .. ..my truck took his frame off at the firewall. -shrug- I had to pry my fender off the tire a little and it bent the headlight frame/bumper a little. No .. .I did not even put the brakes on.. just ran right into his dumb ass. Knew the truck would be fine. It was a truck. He was a bit chagrined. It did surprise me how totalled his car ended up for such a low speed impact (~35mph) Trucks .. they can be fun -Frank aka GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, I'm no huge fan of round-a-bouts but if you put those intersections back to traffic lights it would be utter gridlock in the Norterra area and the backup onto I-17 during rush hour would be a mile long. I do agree that if the bridge was 4 lane there would be far less issues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Man that sucks to happen to any vette but yours was so sweet. It will be again soon. I have almost been rubbed out in some round abouts on the bike. People just dont under stand you dont change lanes when ever you want in a round about lol. I have had to make some fast hard moves to keep from getting run over so I hate round abouts. They death traps for bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that if the bridge was 4 lane there would be far less issues though I was more refering to the size of the roundabouts. They'd work so much better at double their size. The state recently spent a bunch of time/money to beautify the area, but failed to deal with the traffic issue. Really silly to have 90% of the commercial business on the east side of I-17 and 90% of the residential on the west and a two-lane bridge in between.

vidal1313 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm glad you did not get hurt! Classic Gold will do a great job on your Vette. They did for me when I got my boulder chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Farmers sent their own adjuster out to my home today to look at the damage....hopefully the car goes into the shop this week, as parts are going to need to be ordered as well. What a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Effort Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 WTF? The incident happened on Oct. 09, and the Adjuster just got to look at the car today Oct. 16, NOW that is some bad service. IMHO Was it a Farmers Adjuster or a Interdependent Adjusting agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Farmers used a 3rd party contractor. It took them one full business day to review and respond to the Classic Gold estimate, which they did on Friday. They couldn't get the adjuster scheduled any sooner than today, and because this isn't my daily driver, I was OK with it. They cut me a check for the repair so I'm ready to move forward, but I know we will be waiting a few days for parts to arrive, i.e new front bumper cover, ZR1 splitter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 My baby is at Classic getting the magic touch....thanks for the ride home, Mike I'm going to put some black chrome emblems on her and switch out my Corvette flags for the black Centennial emblems. I wanted these, but I don't see them in production yet. Centennial's Thought about making a switch to black/cyber grey/carbon flash metallic headlights , but I'm still out on that. I'm also debating on getting an OEM set of Centinneial cup wheels as well, but then I'll need new rubber as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
