Hellz yea, tell them you're going to speak with a lawyer / looking into filing a DV (Diminished Value) claim. See what they say. This whole "insurance game" is all a big bluff on who is the biggest bullshitter. All you need to do is show them you're cognizant of the law and your legal rights, and they'll pony up. Otherwise, you take it in the ass like most people who don't have the time, knowledge, understanding, ability, or any combination thereof to fight with the insurance company.

Bingo. A log fell off a logging truck around a turn and a 1500lb log bashed right into the wheel of my parents '96 Impala SS. IIRC, they got OE parts, and were still able to successfully fight the insurance company for additional monies due to a new law that says you can sue to recover the amount of "lost value" in a vehicle due to an accident on the books. I can't find the Ohio law exactly, but here is an article that explains the premise: Diminution of Value to Your Vehicle Following an Automobile Accident Edit: Hey Look, I found some really good reading regarding Ohio "Diminution of Property Value" http://www.cbalaw.org/_files/publications/lawyers-quarterly/Diminution%20in%20Property%20Value%20After%20Rakich.pdf http://www.safecollisionrepairs.com/diminished-value/ohio.html Seriously, accept nothing less than OE, factory parts and a trusted bodyshop or dealership (preferrably) to fix this and stand behind their work.

Bullshit - make them buy OE parts. Another one of the PIITB moves on the insurance company. Unacceptable. You pass the reading comprehension test given in this thread. Sucks, get better.

Get a mutimeter and read the voltage at the connector... if the low beam signal isn't showing 12V, you'll need to trace the wire back through each connection point to determine where the signal is lost. If each wire (high/low) beam is +12V from ground when appropriately turned on... then replace the bulb. Or, you could also ohm out the bulb to see if it's got the appropriate resistance for it's wattage. Cakewalk, mang.

@ Shardenheimers and jbot's unlimited photo manipulation skillz. Thanks again fellas (and ladies).

winnar!

I didn't know your sister was blonde. I can haz digits??

Wait until the squids get ahold of this 15bhp beast! http://www.nextautos.com/leaked-images-suzuki-gsx-r125 Original source is here: http://www.superbike.co.uk/news/Suzuki_GSXR125_breaks_cover_for_2010_in_official_factory_pictures_news_288315.htmlhttp://moto.caradisiac.com/CR-S-DUU-une-nouveaute-Itlienne-pour-2010-23-images-HD-196

The rep fairy visits us all. Don't worry about it.

^--- don't trust this guy... he comes from a place with nationalized health care. He only rides on "public" roads, comrades.

Ah yes, I see it now. Thanks. I was cormfused

When you can't find a local boy to lead, the default rule for riding Coshocton is "King of the Hill". Last one to go down, wins! You can also do special awards: Farthest offroad into a pasture award Amish "spook" award Most guys necessary to get the bike back on the road award Longest asphalt slide award "I Like Turtles" award (slowest guy, and likely also winner of King of the Hill)

wait a second... you were at the red light and made a right turn correct? He was speeding, but had a green? These details are important... because usually it's the other way around and it's the cage pulling out in front of the speeding biker. It's the cagers fault for not yielding, regardless of speed... so it would still be your fault for not yielding if those were the facts in this case.

Kos... you don't have to show up at 5. I just go early to get 5 or 6 time trials in. If you show up by 6 or 6:30... you could probably get 2 time trials before the bracket racing begins. You may even get more... later in the season the crowds tend to thin out once people with kids are back in school and stuff. Just sayin'. I guess, if we see you, we see you... I don't know how many other perfect racing nights that'll fall on Wedensday. Tonight will be prime.. nice and cool.

He's scared it might *turn* on him.

^---- he hooked up the Cycle Show Meet and Greet. I have faith he can pull off $2 steaks (or better!) once again.

Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes. I don't care what Casper says about all of you. You're alright in my book. Ohh, and Schmuckgirl... The goatse cake is bad enough, but a fork in the taint? Really...?

Just saw the story on Channel 5 WEWS. Sad. You how to get a hold of me if you need anything.

It's not rabbit season, it's duck season.

No good Inya. I feel for ya, bro.
