In case you haven't noticed the recurring theme to my posts, let me re-state. HE LIED TO HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. Plain and simple.

I don't care if you say, "He didn't say he lied". We all know he didn't tell them he drove his car into the curb trying to flip a u-turn at 40mph.


Oh, and I didn't ask you how much money your mommy gives you....
 
You're the reason the rest of us good drivers have to pay so much insurance, and when we do get in an accident at no fault of our own, the insurance company finds ways not to reimburse us. 🙁

thats not the problem. im 22 and i dont do stupid sh!t like this. then again i'm paying for my own car...thats probably why i dont do stupid $h!t like this
 
Haha, sounds pretty fun to me! Why the hell shouldn't you enjoy your new car? These idiots on here are just ragging on you because they are pissed that you own an Audi at 22. Take their comments with a grain of sand (salt is too good).

I know that if I had a nice new car, I would be driving it like a maniac too 😀

To answer your question I do have a quattro and for all those who are following this my insurance has agreed to pay for 3 new wheels/tires at ~$670 a piece as well as all other damages (all wheel alignment, ect.) My new wheels arrived from Germany yesterday and I got much nicer ones than the stock wheels. Can't wait to get it back so I can f*ck it up again! J/K

And for those of you who have friends with 2004's that would never think of doing such a thing in their precious new car well, I imagine them to be uptight, anal, boring a$$holes unlike myself who's just trying to have a little fun.

And, you would be WRONG yet again!!! One is a surfer (as am I), we also like to go shooting, cycling, skiing and we are all going to the Long Beach Grand Prix this weekend. Probably toss back a martini or two along with a nice cigar and some fine dining. It might not be your idea of fun but it definitely isn't uptight, anal or boring.

Edit: I guess your idea of not boring/uptight involves risking your life and the lives of others needlessly while doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to your car and laughing it off in front of strangers on the internet though. <img src="i/expressions/rolleye.gif" border="0"> Yep, I guess my friends and I are pretty tame compared to you. I prefer it that way actually.[/quote]

I'm impressed good for you guys! I don't surf but I am into rock climbing, single track trail riding, skiing, and a variety of water sports.

However, I think I should make it clear that there truely was not anyone around that could have been adversely affected by my driving. You see I live in the Mid West and the new section of road that I was performing the manuevor on at the time of the accident was in the country where very little traffic takes place (as in maybe 5-10 cars drive on that stretch of road on any given day). I am enjoying reading all your comments though so feel free to continue bashing me! 😀

I almost have to call BS. You'd think if you hit a 1 ft curb going sideways at roughly 40 mpg it would almost total the car rather than a few flats. You'd have to hit more than just your tires and rims. As well, at that speed you'd think you'd almost flip when you hit the curb wouldn't you? Unless he tried to do this l33t stunt like 300 feet from the wall and barely skidded into it.

I did not hit the curb going sideways, I hit it almost straight on. As I said the increased speed did not make the 180 quicker as I had originally thought it turned the 180 into a 90 degree turn which aimed me straight at the curb.

 
How many folks think that if he told the insurance company the same story he told us, they'd pay the claim?

I don't believe they'd pay the claim at all, and if they did pay the claim, they'll raise his rates a lot.

I am betting that he did not tell them the same story.

DUDE....think about it.....I could be going staright into a curb on my bike, and it will totally reck the rim.


We are talking about a 3000lb+ car taht ran straight into a 1ft curb.

Are you telling your entire car is 12 INCHES OFF THE GROUND?!?!....

In addition, not only would the bumper have been f'd up, but you would also have at least a myrid of suspension problems. Control arm is te least of you worries.

Exactly. It just doesn't sound logical.

Not only was he 100% liable, which is universally expected to increase your rates, he was in the midst of an ILLEGAL manuver.

If I ran a traffic light and hit the curb, are you telling me they would cover it all and leave it at that?

Perhaps they covered it, as that is CERTAINLY plausible, but hte fact is that they would A$$r@ape you when it came to your premiums. The fact is that you are now a liability to them, and they will make sure you know it. Why do you think people get rate increse even if accidents aren't their fault? Spite?!
IT is all about what you will cost them.

OF course, from your rather lax explanation, it seeems jsut as equally plausible that you mitigated the circumstances in your favor wiht either your Isurance co or us.


I don;t "hate you" or have any atagonistic thoughts towards you. All I am stating is that, like many others, I believe you are a liar, regardless of whether you are lying to us or your insurance company.
 
The other result is that your stupidity (and unwillingness to accept full responsibility) will result in the rest of us paying more insurance. Thanks a lot. Too bad you didn't wreck the entire car, that way you could have really made good use of your insurance and deductable. :roll:

Fair enough! For the record, allow me to state I am lying to all of you and that the reality of the situation is that an Irish Setter ran out in front of me from behind a piece of equipment along the side of the road. 😀😉

As a matter of fact I am paying for my Audi and spoiling myself, Thank You. When you graduate and get your first nice paying job you can do the same.

FYI, while in college I drove an old beat up 1988 Boneville (which at one point in time was my "rich-ass mommy's") and this was during my Sophmore year. Than upgraded to my Brother's 1998 Ford Ranger for my Junior/Senior year and when my Brother needed his Ranger back so I bought a 2002 Ford Ranger which ended up getting traded in for the Audi once I had landed my first Full-Time job. The trade-in along with $10,000 down of my OWN hard earned cash has brought my montly payments almost below $300/mo.🙂😛

The funny thing is you think you are so smart. If you had taken the $10,000, used it as a down payment for a house and kept the 2002 Ranger, you would be building wealth. Instead you are pissing away money thinking you are so rich. You will learn eventually (I hope) or your retirement will never happen.

I will agree with you that there are much smarter financial moves I could have made with the $10,000 but buying a house is not one of them. Unless I wanted a house (which I don't) or unless I wanted to buy a house in order to fix it up and sell it for profit (which I am considering). However, I have always wanted an Audi and therefore I bought an Audi and could not be happier. My Audi simply makes driving enjoyable. What you must realize is that I am only 22 and in a very fortunate situation to be making the kind of money I am. Most individuals don't even graduate from colleage until they are 23-25 so regardless I am ahead of the retirement game. I have several thousand dollars invested in a Roth IRA and as soon as May rolls around I will have the Audi paid off enough so that I can refinance and get my payments well below $300/mo. Once that happens I have plans to start day trading with about $5,000 as well as a few other ideas which should prove financially beneficial. Thanks for your concern though!:beer:

Miracously, I don't believe it did! At least I have not been told so but I am certain if it did the dealership will take care of it and State Farm has already stated they will take care of everything associated with the accident. I'll end up paying the $250 deductible and $670 for the fourth tire.
 
I think you're skirting the question - did you tell your insurance company what you did in the same manner you told us here? Or did you tell them something else?
The flames in this thread are based on that.

How would they not pay his claim?

None of those include doing something stupid &amp; damaging your vehicle.

As I said before in this thread, virtually all auto accidents are directly related to someone doing something stupid.

It's still covered, &amp; it's not fraud.

Interestingly enough, none of those include lying about the circumstances of the claim, either, as long as you aren't making a false claim, intentionally doing damage to make a claim, or inflating the amount of damages.

So I guess maybe it's not fraud.
