Right, insurance follows the vehicle and by using a valet service you're obviously giving permission for them to drive your vehicle. If the valet company insurance won't agree to cover the full cost of repairs, then the owner can go through their own insurance who will then subrogate against the valet company after the fact. I had a case like this in New York a few weeks ago, valet parker hit my insured's vintage Porsche in a long term parking garage. I called the valet company, they said they would take care of it, and haven't heard back from my insured since. Usually in cases like this the valet company would rather pay out a few hundred bucks and settle the damage vs. drawing it out over months and months. Even more so in long term residential garages like that.

FYI, the yellow perch at Brennan's is fantastic. I live a street over from Hopkins Elementary, kind of nice to be in Mentor but far enough toward the edge to be away from the traffic.

I live 10 minutes from Brennan's, go there all the time. Definitely worth going to if you're ever up north, it's only about half an hour from downtown Cleveland.

Still, it's pretty cool that Gabe from The Office might be vice president.

Done, although I'd feel kind of bad if I win considering I already got one free bottle and have no way of buying it up here lol.

Assuming you did all of this through your own insurance company vs. going through the other driver, then yes you will have your deductible taken out. Ask if it can be waived (assuming the other driver's insurer accepted liability on his/her behalf), otherwise your company will subrogate against the other driver's company and at some point you should get your deductible back in the mail. PM me if you have specific questions. Aggressive is an understatement, I work at Progressive and have a few files going through subrogation right now. They will do everything in their power to get that money back because aside from benefiting you as a customer, it also means the company gets the money back that they paid out for your repairs too.

That wallpaper is badass.

Be VERY careful if you claim this with any insurance company. Almost every insurance contract has an exclusion for "organized racing" which would absolutely include being at a drag strip. Now you weren't racing when it happened, so you would most likely be in the clear. But you will most definitely get heavy questioning around why you were coming down the return road of a racetrack. Plus if it's under your deductible, then your two courses of action are either file a claim against his insurance company (which would require knowing who his company is) or taking him to court. Personally the damage doesn't sound bad enough to waste your time with either option.

Normally I'm the same way, I've made the drive multiple times and it's actually a lot of fun. Only reason I'm flying is I'm going down Friday and coming back Sunday, too much driving for the little time I'll actually be there. Plus for whatever reason the clutch on the Speed3 gets pissy on trips longer than about 6 hours. Have never figured out why, and don't take enough long trips to care. Last time I did a road trip was to Chicago and it got really mushy and tough to get in gear once I got off the highway downtown. Chicago rush hour traffic is not fun when your car doesn't like to move.

Well I guess I expected the normal horror stories that you always hear about certain airlines, but this is great. Looks like Southwest for me. Nothing like flying down one day, getting drunk at a beach wedding the next, and flying back after.

Thanks for the tips. I just read about their check-in process on their website and wouldn't have known about it unless you mentioned that. I can just do the check in from my phone a day before so that's probably the way I'll go.

For a short flight like this, I can deal with it. It'd be different if I were flying overseas or anything longer than 4 hours.

I'm flying from Cleveland to Charleston, SC this October for a wedding. Looked at all the normal travel sites, lowest price found was $400 round trip. Checked Southwest directly and found $300 for business class, and even cheaper for the back of the bus. My question is to anyone that has used the airline, have you ever had any problems? Anything to be concerned about? I'm all for getting the cheapest flight but not if it's going to make my trip a pain in the ass.

My record on electric was $768 one January in college. 9 people, 3 story house. We decided to try just heating individual rooms with space heaters instead of turning the real furnace up. Learned the hard way that was a BAD idea.

lol you just got rustled bro

Agreed on the typical plastic stuff, but honestly that is fine for the majority of the population. I personally wouldn't trade my Macbook Pro 13 inch for anything. (Except maybe the 15 inch w/ retina display )

Closest Kroger to me is over 70 miles away :no:. If it does well at Kroger he should try Giant Eagle next, they have a huge Cleveland presence.

Lol, not mad. I'm only mad when Nickelback comes on somewhere and I can't escape.

I think California actually passed a law that insurance companies can't deny coverage for a loss if you rent your vehicle out to an individual.

You're a fucking idiot.

Yep, 90.3 for NPR up here in Cleveland too. Only radio station I have programmed as a preset. Otherwise I stream Spotify from my phone. Sad that Car Talk is done though , one of the best radio shows ever.

I won't leave Sprint because I am grandfathered in with the SERO plan. $50/month for unlimited everything, 4G, etc. I will say I'm not a fan of their network, but I only have issues in large buildings like where I work, and usually I can just switch to wi-fi for that. Sprint would have to seriously fuck things up for me to switch to another carrier where I'd pay double the money for a data plan that isn't unlimited. No thanks.
