Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 08, 2008 12:16 pm) And even though we know these type of events are mostly biased toward the event holder, they are fun. Nothing to sneeze about getting free track time in someone elses car...and gas...and tires.... I was really surprised the MB didn't handle well at all, expect the new version to be decent. Maybe the C350 is better, but that doesn't come in AWD. And I surely wouldn't have minded comparing the A4 to a Legacy GT. I keep looking for other similar drive events to go to. I have this bookmarked as well http://blogs.edmunds.com/straightline/MoreCategories/ConsumerTrack%20Events/ -Brian
#13481 of 14584 Took one for the team.... :( by lucien2 Aug 10, 2008 (4:39 am)
Our beloved BG got a right hard smack in the butt yesterday. 71 year old driver of a 1991 Sedan de Ville who "couldn't reach the brake pedal properly" and hit us somewhere in the 20mph range. We're going to need a new liftgate I think since there is some creasing in the metal just above the latch, and the paint is flaking off now..... and of course bumper skin/bumper/mounts, and also she managed to get about 2 inches worth of rear quarter panel where it wraps around under the taillights (which were spared). Everyone's fine....except the Caddy. Our little Subie &^%$ that thing right up LOL. headlights, turn indicators, grille, bumper, skin, some plastic bits underneath, and a tented hood for good measure. It left under its own power since the radiator was spared, but unlike the Soob, is nowhere near legal to drive. We're sore today but otherwise well. Too bad, as we are on vacation at the moment. Gotta hassle and wrassle with her insurance co. when we get back. I don't think there will be much of a fight, since she rear ended us. The fault there almost always lies with the second car.

Replying to: lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 4:39 am) If you filed a police report, there will be no question in who's at fault. Plus you have all the information that the insurance company would need to contact the other party. -Brian Replies to this message: lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 1:30 pm) ladywclass (Aug 10, 2008 1:52 pm) rsholland (Aug 10, 2008 2:13 pm) lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 3:06 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: subearu (Aug 10, 2008 6:28 am) PA State Trooper said they don't do reports on non-injury accidents. So I filed a claim directly with her agent, not mine. We shall see. On a sunnier note, someone in Kamen, Germany emptied our checking acct this afternoon. Yay!

Replying to: lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 1:30 pm) OMG ... NO! ... We had a number of people in town here who had money taken from far-flung places ... it is thought that the password codes were stolen through an ATM machine ...

Replying to: rsholland (Aug 10, 2008 2:13 pm) I don't know. It cleared this afternoon, and I see it on my online teller. But the bank is closed of course. I don't know if it was a case of stolen debit card #, or some other kind of hack, and I can't do a thing about it until the bank opens tomorrow. But boy are they going to get an earful. Every time I travel abroad, I have to tell them when I am leaving, when I am returning, where I am going, and any international connecting airports I might visit. The one time I forgot, I tried to buy a bottle of water at Gatwick and the promptly declined the card and froze my accts. It was the weekend and so I had no access to my money until that Monday when I was able to call and get it sorted out. Small inconvenience I thought, given how zealously they are protecting my acct from intl fraud. SO WHERE WAS ALL THAT SECURITY TODAY??? Plus I got hit with a $11 International Transaction Fee to boot. Replies to this message: paisan (Aug 10, 2008 3:45 pm)

Replying to: lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 3:06 pm) That sux! Hopefully they can get it sorted out for you. I've gotten accustomed to using my CC for everything, I am pretty sure it's easier to dispute a charge rather than try to get actual money back that's been taken. -mike

Replying to: lucien2 (Aug 10, 2008 4:39 am) Sorry to hear about the run of bad luck. Good luck always follows, though... Replies to this message: volkov (Aug 11, 2008 10:34 am)
