I’m crossing my fingers that the insurance company runs their numbers this way.

You'd think so, practically speaking. But on paper, it still doesn't hit the 80% threshold. The insurance company could still want to get it fixed. Which is why I've pleaded my case to my adjuster. Hopefully, he sees the reasoning behind why. I hope you're right. How much do you think a 1900...

Update: The body shop called last Wednesday and told me that the front and rear frame rails were bent, among other major damages and they were going to push for a total loss. However, I got the body shop estimate. $62k. Not enough to hit the 80% total loss threshold for my state. I've called...

Yea, who details their car once or twice a week? I like clean cars, but I hate the process since it takes a few hours out of my day. Hours where I could be doing something else. Like driving, or exercising. Drinking. Taking the dog on a walk. Literally anything besides washing and waxing my...

I’m not sure it’ll work in my favor like that for this one. It’d need repairs costing well north of $60k to total it since it was insured for agreed dollar value rather than market value or ACV. I detailed the why and how in one of my longer previous posts. Long story short, this is going...

They are GM OEM parts. The part numbers were listed in the estimate, which is how I found out that some parts were CF. They seemed a bit too expensive for standard non-CF diffuser or front air deflectors. And what parts are listed are shown with GM's MSRP, not the discounted rates that you or I...

I got the insurance side estimate today. RLI hires an adjuster from the outside to draft up an estimate. She went to look at the car yesterday. Cost came out to roughly $36k to repair, after taxes. Though I feel that the parts list is incomplete. For one, it doesn't have the radiator support...

No you're fine to criticize my driving. If I wasn't open to criticism, I would have ghosted this forum. I made a terrible decision in line choice and paid the price. I normally don't hug the inside of that turn exit that close, but I 'felt' the grip was there. I got greedy with the throttle, the...

It's not that cut and dry with track insurance because it's insured for agreed value rather than ACV or market value. The deductibles for track insurance go by 10% or 15% of the amount insured, rather than a set amount. I know my deductible will be taken well in to account for repairs here. I...

I hade it set to Track mode and Race 1 PTM. So ESC was disabled. Though I’m not sure if it could have helped me seeing how close I was to the very edge of the track.

Yea I found Race 1 a bit more generous with power delivery but the car is so easy to drive fast that it gives almost a false sense of security. I definitely should have kept it in Sport mode, and I did plan to after that lap to cool down. But things never happen the way you want them to. In...

They’ve been good so far. And I’ve only heard good things about them paying out promptly and for the agreed value without much fuss. The claims agent has been great with answering my questions and the two people I know that have had to make claims have been happy with how quickly and smoothly...

Same. The policy does state that the car should be repaired within a reasonable amount of time. I’m willing to wait until October, as the body shop stated, just due to their busy schedule. But any longer and I’ll push for a total loss. They have 30 days to come to that conclusion anyway.

20 something me would have been fine with a hand tattoo but mid-30s me grew out of that phase hahaha.

None taken. I thought it was airbag burn until I went to get the car towed the next day and checked out the interior. The emblem will hurt your left hand when the airbag deploys hahaha. I was wearing gloves too. I can imagine how worse it would be without gloves.

It can happen to the best of us. My pride and self confidence is a lot more damaged than me physically. Body shop said that they couldn't even start work on it until September, if they CAN fix it. So that means an October delivery, assuming that there are no national parts backorder. Don't want...

That's me. I posted a new thread about it. Car is insured through Hagerty/RLI. Took a few days to collect my thoughts and finally decided to face my shame and post about it. Thanks for the video. It confirms what I thought happened.

Yup that's me. So yea, I was too close to the inside on corner exit, there was probably dirt and debris where my line was, since that was a stupid line to take, and the rest is history. Though looking at the video now, had I slid further, I would have just slid in to the grass with minimal...

So the unthinkable happened last Thursday during TNiA. Coming out of turn 3 in Heartland Park, I hugged the inside curb a little too closely. The rear end kicked out, I thought I could recover, as it wasn't a snap oversteer situation. Since I was so close to the inside of the turn, the rear end...

You have 3 options here. Get sintered pads. Get the rotors resurfaced. Or find a quiet low key place where you can get to about 60 or 70 mph and do about 10 or so hard braking down to 30-40 mph to warm the brakes up. When the brakes are warm, do about 5-10 instances of 70-20 braking WITHOUT...
