Got franked over real bad yesterday.

Got franked over real bad yesterday.

I was on the phone with my car salesman trying to get out of my 2021 Accord Sport SE and into a 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T. Looked like it would happen without much more than $10/month more.

Then, a couple hours later, BOOM!!! I was rear-ended... with heavy damage.

Yesterday the trade-in value was $30-31k and my lease buy-out was only $24,700. So, even though the vehicle will be expertly repaired, that equity is erased because the car has been in a crash.

Poof... $5,300-$6,300 on paper- GONE IN A SECOND! [barf]



(Everyone seems to be doing well, except for my painful, contused ribs, which truly is the most important thing...)

Well... it was only a matter of time before it happened. Thankfully it ended with no injuries. And now Tank knows not to play with coyotes.

I let him run around because he burns more energy chasing rabbits, squirrels and birds (he actually got a bird yesterday). He was running through the scrub chasing a rabbit and flushed a coyote. Immediately gave chase, and I yelled for him to come back. He caught it and took a bite, then turned to come back to me...

The damn sh*t coyote was sneaking up behind him for a little revenge bite, so I started running toward them yelling at the coyote. Coyote had his head down and tail tucked... but was still coming for a nip. He nipped Tank on the butt and then bolted. I leashed Tank and got a bit of video of the sh*thead coyote running away. NSFW language.

Tank runs around that meadow like he owns the place, tail high, and strutting. The rest of the walk he didn't stray far from me and his tail was down and he looked nervous. Hopefully he learned a lesson today.

It really sucks when a a moron enters one's orbit. Hopefulluy the other driver was insured.

Robert, hopefully no c-spine issues pop-up down the road.

And I almost forgot, I hope everyone still has a roof over their head after last nights weather outbreak.

We did one duck and dive for about 20 minutes last night around 11:00.

See now, this is why we can't have nice things around here. Two days ago we send you guys a little front that I would call blustery. A little 15-20 mph wind, trace of rain in the desert and a few snow flurries in the maintains. So it gets through Texas and turns into a chit storm of tornados. WTF?

Of course Robert is probably seeking medical services yesterday and today with likely pain and range of motion issues. Pain and Suffering and loss of motion and quality of life depreciation needs to be indemnified.

Nope. Got my ribs x-rayed and hope they'll improve over the next few days per the ER doc (I don't ever trust them on this ... which is another story...).

I don't believe in b.s. injury claims or even "padding" real good claims. I always "shoot straight" to maintain optimal credibility. And, I don't want what i don't deserve either. So, if this is all there is too it. I'll be very happy and won't seek a penny more than my ER-related medical bills.

Now, the diminution of value will be another issue. No one I know has made such a claim on a LEASE vehicle before. Insurance companies don't acknowledge loss of lease equity by claiming it belongs to the owner (Honda Finance Corp.). But, HFC won't assign the claim back to me to pursuit because they simply don't give a chit...

Anyhow, I don't know what your exact job in the insurance industry was or who you worked for, but I'd be interested to know because you know allot...
