Yup. Chihuahua legs.

I did. I am. I will.

If I recall correctly, back in OH, all title crap is done at local title agency. I need to get my title converted to a salvage title, they print me a new one right there. I take ownership of a car, new title gets printed in my name right there. Well the wonderful state of TX has to have everything come out of Austin, TX. So you go to your local title agency and let them know you need to transfer your OH title to a TX title. They do all the paperwork and take your title locally. Then they have to send it to the county tax office. Then from there the paperwork gets sent down to Austin, where it takes them 3-4wks to send you your title. Same thing for DL's. You go to the local licensing agency and they do all the paperwork, take the photo, etc. Then they give you a piece of paper with your info and a photo (black and white), and tell you to carry that around wadded up in your wallet for 3 weeks until you get your new TX DL which comes out of Austin. Rednecks.

BISS? Its a DSM...could be like 100 things. Some good pointers above though.

After a week you will pray to God for OH traffic...

Beast Mode. Russia FTW.

passing lane?

The sick part about it is, I actually enjoyed "combating" the insurance company. Its sad that I do their job better than they do. I have actually considered/am considering doing this for others as another source of income or even as a sole source of income.

Finalized everything today. Their initial offer was $3721 with a buy back of $450. Not good enough. They scored my car on their evaluation as a "3" or overall good condition with a "5-Excellent" score given only in two categories, tires and glass. So contested their scoring and hit every point listed on their eval, requesting them to re-evaluate and re-score. I also submitted receipts for about $3k in parts. They only issues $270 in credit for the receipts, $250 of that being for the engine I built 3yrs ago. They also said they re-evaluated the condition scores and they felt they did it right and could not change them. I requested it get bumped up the ladder to a specialist for review. Before the specialist, we were at $4000 on the dot. The specialist reviewed it, and change my condition score to "4-very good." That took their value/settlement amount up to $4800. I informed them I could agree with the "4" score, and felt it was fair. I also informed them that there was one other point I wanted to contest. Their "comparables." They gave me comparables (web listings) that were at an asking price of $2,000, $3,000, and $3300. The only info they gave me on the comparables was the zip code, the year/make/model, the mileage, and the asking price. That was it. So I had to do my own hunting/research to find the listings for these cars. I then asked the INS Co to send me their criteria for what makes an acceptable comparable. One of the many criteria on there was that the listing must have a complete VIN available. NONE of their comparables had VIN's in their ad's. I found my own 3 comparables, with asking prices of $4500, $4995, and $8000. The last two having every piece of required info in the ads. I forwarded this to the insurance company. I then spoke with the specialist on the phone. I stated my case about how their comparables didn't even meet their own criteria, and that it was wholly and completely inappropriate for them to use those as comparables. If I have to follow their rules for comparables, they need to to as well. The specialist completely agreed, and stated she was going to take it to her supervisor. I asked if it was possible to get the supervisor involved right then as I wanted to get this off my desk today if possible, as I am sure they did too. She said that unfortunately, since it's a 3rd party that does the valuation, her supervisor would have to address it with them so it wasn't going to be possible to settle it today as that would take a few business days. I said OK, that is fine, we will touch base on Monday. I get a call back 20min later witht he specialist telling me she spoke to her supervisor, they decided to go ahead and use the highest price comparable I submitted, but take it down to $7000 as they believe that's what they could negotiate it down to, and then they added tax, title, all that jazz. That's how when all is said and done, they came to a total value of the car as $7786.38, or if I buy the car back for $450, I get a check for $7336.38. I told them I agreed with their assessment. The check has been cut and is waiting for me to pick it up. The only hold up is that it's an OH title, so if I keep it as an OH title, they have to adhere to OH laws which dictates I would need to get the title reissued as a salvage title, which could take forever since I don't live there so there would be a lot of mailing back and forth and down time. The other option is that I have the OH title converted to a TX title, and I will get the TX title in two weeks and the INS Co only needs a copy of the TX title to release the check. So once my new TX title comes in hopefully two weeks down the road, I will head to the local Ins Co office to pick up my check. There are a lot of little details I don't have time to go into in this process, but that's how it went is a nutshell. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done on a Mitsu Sh*tbox.

Yup. My wife has informed me how foul our house smells every day now. I think our bedroom permanently smells like that...it has seeped into the walls.

I have had chili every day since Saturday.

I recall getting a title notarized when I was a seller at the bank in Kroger on a Sunday. Both parties were present though, and it was years ago.

Get yoself a gang of tan tanqueray and some bubonic chronic.

Going to have to agree with this. People that are going to be scum are going to be scum one way or another. Same way I heard story on NPR today with people arguing stricter gun laws would reduce suicides (which they also stated make 2/3 of the gun deaths per year). BS. People who want to kill themselves are going to find a way to do with whether guns, hanging, jumping off a bridge, whatever. People want to get fked up, people are going to get fkd up. People want to sacrifice their family, they are going to do it one way or another.

Gotta disagree with you on the addictive part. I can count the # of time I have smoked on one hand, and Its been years since I have touched it. I enjoyed it, and if legal, I would absolutely partake here and there, but I didn't and don't feel the slightest bit addicted. Never had a feeling "I have to smoke mooooaaarrr!" which I feel is obvious by the fact that I haven't touched it in years. I also have friends that smoked and weren't "addicted." One good friend of mine smoke every single day. Hung out with the "skater" crowd in HS, and yet still got A's and B's effortlessly. Then one day just decided i'm gonna put this ish to the side and just stopped. Another buddy of mine, smoked all the time, got older, decided it was no longer for him, he works a full time job, been there for many years, also a member of our armed forces. Based on what I have experience myself and seen with close friends, its mentally addictive...if you are a retard. Same as alcohol. No one's body tells them then need alcohol until they pump so much of it into their system as a result of being mentally weak/susceptible to it that their bodies then require it.

I miss carfagnas

That's one heck of a way to go out...

How would one even cause an explosion on that scale? Wouldn't that require a lot more than just leaving the gas on in your house?

NAGGERS!

Yup.

what kind do you guys and gals like? Made some on Saturday after being inspired by Patterson. Meat is 1/2 Bison, 1/2 grass fed beef. All kinds of bell peppers, some jalapenos, obvious spices, different beans, etc. Spent 8hrs simmering on Saturday. Had some Saturday, Sunday, and just now for lunch. Like a fine wine, the more time the goes by, the better it gets. Unlike a fine wine though, it causes me to break an exceptional amount of wind. I been ripping butt for 3 days now. Wife wakes up gagging telling me I smell foul. Good times. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=708&pictureid=7039

Where they can get you though is paraphernalia. I mean, the baggy it's in can be counted is paraphernalia.

Last evening at 7:50p my mom, 2 younger sisters, my wife, my 14mo old son, and my neighbor are out talking at the end of my driveway. Suddenly a double flash comes from what appears to be this crazy lady's back yard. My neighbor Randy says, "Man, she just took a pic of all of us." I said, "Are you sure? I just saw a flash, but I don't know what else that could have been." He says, "Dude, I saw her hands coming back down from being up over the fence." This lady is absolutely nuts.

I think you just won...
