Hi Dave,
   
  Your new van looks like a sweet ride!  A shame you smacked the other van, but 
you'll come out with a nice ride.  I'm glad nobody was injured.  Stay strong.
   
  With Love,

Fwd: [QUAD-L] Smacked my van - Gap Insurance

2007-02-28 Thread Oconnelldb
No - once totaled and paid off by the primary ins company, they (the ins  co) 
now owns the van.  The gap insurance is from a 3rd party who will send  the 
lender the difference of what my primary insurer pays and what I  owe.
Basically, my lender (Credit Union) gets paid in full for  the remaining 
balance 
due on my old van partly from my primary insurer ( Farmers  ) and partly by the 
Gap Insurer.   I'm free and  clear.I don't completely understand why the 
Gap Insurer will  send my lender $1,000 just for buying $220 worth of coverage 
from them again on  the new van that's a complete mystery to me.   I'll 
let you know  when I find out.

So you will get to keep your van but it will also be totaled and they will  
light $1000 to the lender.
You can possibly repair or use parts for your new  one.

Consider yourself most fortunate.  I've seen vehicles with worse  damage that 
were repaired and returned to its owner.  Your old van, will be  sold to a 
junk yard for 100-200 bucks with a scrap title.  He can never be  sold again as 
a used vehicle.  However, that same vehicle will be chopped  and parted for 
individual parts totaling thousands of dollars in parts.   But that is the name 
of the game.
You might consider adding a safety feature to your car that prevent that  
from happening again, or watch where you park.

Lucky is definitely the word Wally.  Good AND bad luck actually -  just

return it

unless we move the seat over, or leave the motor  off.   parking is definitely 
a problem, the only way I'm safe is to  park cornerwise in two spots with the 
door pointed out to the  driveway.   did it the other way once and someone 
squeezed into the  1/2 a spot I left open with my door facing in.  even the 
handicapped spots  are no good as people park over their lines into the hash 
marks 
between us and  block me,  or a motorcycle will park on the hash marks - - 
the trip in from  the last spot where no one wants to park anyway isn't all 
that 
bad.  I just  drop wifey off up front.  from now on, I'm PLANNING my luck -

I'm only going to say this one time. Get two traffic cones, (stealing them is 
the best way because they get stolen a lot). Block the space beside your van 
with them. If you do get parked in then go in the store and tell them that car 
has left its lights on.
If you live in an area where you always get parked in, try using spaces farther 
away. Doctors give out those parking permits like they use to give out 
lollipops. I've seen people with handicapped parking permits for being obese. I 
know your all thinking what I'm thinking. Say something to doctors about it 
when you see them. I do.

I'm not about to get into the enforcement phase of this problem.  I've  heard 
too many horror stories about irate fatties getting physical after being  
taken to task by a civilian gimp.  They already know the law and the rules  and 
that they are 'cheating' the system, basically they DON'T CARE.I said 
something to a senior who parked on the yellow hashes between two HC  spots and 
he 
said, I don't need the extra room, but I do like parking up  close.  This 
violation mind set needs to be fixed by the enforcement  agency (and hopefully 
the doctors writing these foolish scripts) not me.  I  just want to come and go 
as I please even if it means parking out at the  end.  My rocket erases any 
distance inconvenience added by parking out in  bfe.

Re: [QUAD-L] Smacked my van - Gap Insurance

2007-02-28 Thread delimited4
In Ohio parking lots are mostly private and cops can't give tickets and don't 
even in public lots. I have had a ticket for blocking traffic while I was 
getting out of the van. I made the mistake of using an Access bus parking spot. 
Access is code for we are on time 22% of the time which closely correlates to 
the number of retarded people that sign the card saying they enjoyed riding the 
bus for 3 1/2 hours to go 17 miles. If it wasn't for Access there wouldn't be 
jobs for crack addicts and gangbangers. There is no drug testing either.
