Before, Incident, After

I got this in Jan:



Then this happened in June:
What a way to start the day





To now, Thank goodness for insurance and being able to tell them what to put on:



HDR App on a phone isn't all that





What still needs to be done. I guess the shop thought I was some avg. Joe and wouldn't notice these things. Long story short if you didn't know; Wheels stolen, the right tow truck didn't show, insurance told shop to deploy their tow guy with no wheels and tires, dude dragged the kon on the flat bed despite me telling him to stop, caused a lot of damage. They have ball joints on order and said they would attempt the repair. I am going to tell them just to replace the bumper because it's creased. They seem to think they can fix that







They seemed surprised when I pointed the stuff out which tells me that they thought I would overlook those things It goes back in two weeks as I need it to haul some stuff around. They are expecting me and know that I am not playing.

Make sure they can't say since you took it out, that you somehow caused the damage and that they are not responsible. Ya know some shops can try and weasel out of stuff like that.. glad to see your ride making a come back. Looking good..

They won't. That was the first comment out of my mouth when I picked it up. If they do then there will be some legal issues with them. Plus I'm sure my insurance will do something about it. I missed it though. It took them a month. I had almost brand new tires on the 20's and it rode nice, but it seems that the ride quality is better with the 22's. I didn't expect that. Or it could be because I was driving my mr2 that rides rough because of suspension. Either way I'm happy with the new wheels. Out of it all, I got new wheels and tires, new brakes, a new rear diff seal according to them ( need to check on that too), new ball joints and probably a new bumper when all is said and done.

I could have gotten real upset but that wouldn't have solved anything. Either way I knew I was going to come out better than before. The bumper had a lot of chips in it. The brakes were fine, but new is better and new ball joints which I would have had to replace anyway. So now those are just things I don't have to worry about for awhile. Coming soon are video surveillance, drone mobile and gorilla guard wheel locks on all or at least most of the studs. Do you think it's necessary to activate onstar in case of another incident? I'm sure the wheel lock will help deter some thieves, but if they see that they might just haul it off. I'll put a back up battery for the alarm and onstar if I activate it.

what i dont understand is why not insurance buy you new tires and rims then drive it to where ever rather than tow it without wheels:?

 

[OHSIXX]

Looks better with new rim choice.

 

[PeteKT]
