Yeah I'm gonna mention the changes I've done. But would they be considered aftermarket even though they are OEM GM products??

Any change on your vehicle from something that is not how it was originally purchased could be something they don't cover. I know with both of my last two providers, they make it very clear that any changes to the vehicle need to be documented (I'm sure that it is so they up your rates in the name of covering more stuff).

Either way, good thing no one was hurt.

Thanks for the support guys. My guess is that the insurance will pay for it because if you look at the story I really had no fault at all. When people are like that I always slow down because I don't care if they wanna be first. If that's what's important to them, they can go ahead and then just leave me alone.

Problem was, I did slow down to let him get ahead so I could get behind him, but for some reason he didn't want me in that lane so he slowed down with me. No matter what I tried I couldn't get in that lane until I hit the gas and moved over.

I will post some pics today. Unfortunately I have to pick up my dogs in it, since my mom is in her vehicle a couple hours away for all day. I'm gonna try to use as little as possible.

That's some crazy shit! How did people in your family not lose it on this guy? He would have walked away with my 4 D Cell Maglight shoved up his ass, if he had done that to me. Oh man and if my kid was in the car, forget it. I am not sure my temper would handle me NOT killing him. How do people just ram into your car, that is just insane.

I do too and yeah my family almost lost it. They were all in his face and he kept being a smart-ass saying I deserved every bit of it and that I was lucky he didn't total my vehicle.

After he initially hits you, take a hard left instead, spin his ass out and you'll be fine.

Wow, nice retraint! I would have lost it. I would say that he lucked out pulling this on someone like you that is calm. My rage would have had me in handcuffs! Hopefully you get it fixed as quickly and painlessly as possible.

aftermarket

the question of aftermarket anything is moot.

if HE caused the collision, HIS insurance has to cover every bit of damage he did. If you had a custom $4,000 grill on it, his insurance would have to fix it.

etc.

I switched to full tort (PA) on my insurance. if I or my wife get hit, we are covered.

Glad it didnt happen to me. I would be in jail right now. I am very easy going 99.99999% of the time but that would have sent me into an absolute rage. I am by no means a small guy and I have hurt people before and would have done it again right then and there.
