Stolen vehicle

I'm surprised that the insurance company will pay it as a total loss after just seven days. That is unusually low. I have heard some insurers making it 30-45 days. I'm assuming you don't have GAP on the vehicle, right?
 
Ha.

I know you all don't care. There are little truths in there though - I probably could spend more and live in a bigger/nicer house...but you know how I am.

It was just self therapeutic /self soothing to vent and convince myself it's all going to be OK and I've still got it good. IN the grand scheme of things it wasn't a big deal. It's one of the benefits of having a good job and financial security. Stuff like this rolls off of you better.

Goddamn, that's the big city compared to Tucker and Pendleton.

Slightly funny thing: I am moving to a small town with the same name as the county seat of Tucker County...if you consider 9600 a small town.
I'm digging this mid-century ranch:


And this looks like a place that the HGTV couple in Laurel, Mississippi has redone:


And this place has some character:


As does this:

I'll Messenger you the one we are buying, if you are interested in seeing it. Same for @wvkeeper(HN) . Nothing outlandish, but we really like it.

The damnedest thing, and luckiest, happened after our bid was accepted. That big storm system that dropped all the tornadoes a couple weeks ago? It was a clear sky wind maker in KS that day, and blew down a VERY large tree in the backyard. Luckily it fell perfectly straight across the backyard and hit nothing. I have learned a lesson from this (I mean how often do trees fall perfectly west to east?), and will not be planting a new tree in its place.

1.15 million here now. Ugghhhh yehhhh. Big city feel more and more.
Right here's where I plan to live. Look at these demographics. They only have 123 colored people, so thinking the high school athletic teams probably aren't too good. I have to think out of that 97.43% white population, half of them have to be Amish. Wonder if there's any black Amish? I'm going to ask around next time I'm down there. That would be something to see. Big black guy rolling down Route 62 in a buggy drinking some Colt 45.

Holmes County was 44,223 with 14,580 households. it's racial makeup was 97.43% White, 0.278% Black, 0.145% Asian, 0.081% American Indian and Alaska Native, and 0.308% others alone (including Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander), and 1.755% belonged to two or more races.

Update

1. The found the pilot in the projects with tags off of it. IT was towed to the impound lot. Waiting to get there today at lunch to take a look. If I get a free block of meth/fentanyl/crack in the tire well I'll come back here to ask how to sell it.

2. Car shopping over weekend was a disaster. I drove a Pilot, Highlander, Lexus GX, Volvo XC90, Acura MDX amongst others. I hate car shopping.

You're not going to recognize the Pilot when you see it. Probably will be on generic steel wheels with "Honkey Lips" spray painted along the side of it.

I don’t think Xzibit stole it.
Always killed me when they would Pimp somebody's ride but it was all cosmetic. A hoopty generally has a lot of mechanical issues of which they rarely addressed like a installing a new engine and transmission.

Yeah but TVs on the mud flaps
 
You will likely be better off to set it on fire. And if you are adverse to committing felony insurance fraud, I may or may not know a guy, depending on where you live.

Ha.

I know.

It seemed to be driving fine, but I'm taking it to dealer to have it looked over.

I've already found 2 ID's and one needle after the cop had "removed anything of any interest."

Cops coming back to pick up the ID's.

I’ve looked at the same Volvo and Audi too. I want to test drive some Cadillac’s and Lincoln’s too. Are you leaning any particular way?

I hope they are returned to their rightful owners.

Dude, tell them you don't want that thing back. Mention your attorney again. Tell the mechanic it is making transmission noieses, pinging from the engine, smells bad whatever.

Tell them to get you a new car.

Do you mean a new used car?

Yes, Carl, be like the oath breaker and just LIE.

Is that the best play here? My wife is an attorney, I can throw that out.

A new Pilot is 52-55k

From my internet research I’m thinking they’ll offer me only $25k for a 2019 Pilot with 45k miles if it is deemed a “total loss.”

Im going to see what mechanic says .

I didn't get to drive the Audi but my neighbor has an A7 she loves.

We were liking the Volvo the best, but I'm worried right after the warranty (4 years, 60K I think) it will explode. Plus, our friends have one and love it and their main complaint is that hardly anyone can service it and the service dept at the dealership doesn't have any weekend hours and has been hard to work with on appointment times.
 
I don't really want it, but I think the honest thing to do is have the mechanics look it over and fight to have anything fishy fixed and get it detailed. Obviously if a big powertrain fix or something i'm fighting to just have it totaled.

I will probably regret it in the future but I really don't want to buy a new car for me right now.

I'm having a hard time trying to deviate from what we had planned - trading in our Odyssey and getting something new and riding the Pilot until at least 4 more years/100K more miles.
 
another thing to come out of this....

State Farm punts everything to centralized office. My local agent has been absolutely worthless. He hasn't even called me. His front desk secretaries just send me links to click stuff online and some lady on the telephone in God knows where (though pacific time) then may or may not answer my calls to update me on stuff.

The local office can answer absolutely nothing and has no clue what it going on.

I liked the XC90 too. I would probably go with an extended warranty if I go that route.

I believe the honest thing to do is tell them driving the vehicle gives you extreme anxiety because it brings back unpleasant memories. Play the snowflake card.

I actually had the same thought.


We’re usually Honda/Toyota people and I don’t buy extended warranty but I think that’s a good play here. Saw you can find them for around 4k I think.

Lexus is in need of updating the GX or putting the 3rd row back in the RX badly.
