So right at this moment, I'm stuck at home. As a 19 year old, why? Well yesterday, my left front tire popped going down a windy side road, and I ended up in a ditch. New tire and a car wash, and I'm good to go, right? Wrong. The tow truck that AAA sent to tow me out of said ditch attempted (for some reason) to tow it out with the wheel perpendicular to the direction they were pulling. This caused them to pop the control axle (cop who was responding HEARD it pop). Then they said "Oh, you did that." They then pulled it the rest of the way out, managing to rip the wheel off my traction system and off the drivetrain itself. In the process, they dented my front quarter fender quite heavily (it was buckled from where the wheel was dragging onto it). They then proceeded to tell me that they couldn't tow it. So the county cop calls a flatbed to tow my car to the dealership. In the process of loading/unloading my car onto that, and I really felt sorry for the tow driver, he damaged my front bumper and my headlight. Nothing he could do, as the play in the wheel just messed up pretty much everything on that side of the car. Not only do I now have to pay for my damage, which was nothing more than a tire and maybe a rim (oh and a car wash), but I have to pay for the extensive front damage that the tow company caused along with the county's fees ($302 to be exact). My question is, what are you guys opinions? I don't know if any of you make a living doing insurance claims or the like, but I'd love to get a reply. First two pics are before the tow truck, and the basic damage I did. Second are after everything was said and done, and the rogue wheel caused its havoc.
I think you should give this a read
It will give you an idea of how to approach the situation.
thats nothing !!!
just keep driving it
looks like an easy fix

Thats a baby ditch, they shldnt have messed up anything i wld go after the tow company and let ur insur know what happened. All that shlda been included in the police report! If not make the officer on scene redo it thats crap. I was in a ditch where my car was almost on its side and when the tow company got it out they didnt damage anything. Either way claim it on your insur and get your car fixed so your not stuck at home

I have seen disclaimers that tow truck companies aren't liable for damage occur during recovery but since u have pics and it obviously isn't damaged I would a bring tge pics to your insurance company and explain the situation. Contacting the cop for a statement would be helpful. The insurance company should pay for it and then if they can sue the tow company for negligence. Or start with the statement from the cop and then go to the towing company and then AAA and work your way to insurance and or a local lawyer

I know how I'm going to approach it. My whole point is with the wheel entirely off the drivetrain and suspension and all that, and all the damage to that side, is it likely to be declared a total loss? I guess I'm just looking for reassurance here, as I think it probably will. I really don't think it could be restored to a safe drivable state.
No way dude thats a newer altima that little bit of damage cant be as much as the car is worth

It's a 2008 3.5SE to be exact. Purchase price was 18000. I imagine blue book or black Book, whichever the company uses to determine, is less than that.

He tried to pull out at a slight angle from the front, but when the wheel started turning to the left he didn't stop. Wheel caught ground and well, pop goes my control rod and everything.

I had a new car once...never again. Not worth it at all. Love my 500.00 beast. Put a tie rod end in it and change oil and fill with gas. 30+ mpg and no payments or high insurance. Versus 180.00 month payments with about the same a month on insurance. Had more repairs to do with the new one too. Not to mention I can fix mine civic buy myself.

Maybe but when you're young your car is basically your cool factor. Otherwise I wouldn't mind driving around in a 5 speed integra. And my insurance isn't 180. It's 250 a month. That's no accidents, no tickets. And I even have discounts!

So drive 5km to a petrol station.. Pump in air.. By then Tyre completely out of air.. Air leaking from side walls.. Wtf?
So now, my 2 months old Ford fiesta is at workshop changing tires. At least the rim its still ok. But seriously.. Wtf!

Well, it is a Ford....
Seriously though, pop to your local motor factors or even a weekend market that has a tool stall, and get yourself a cheap extending wheel nut wrench, most have a reversible socket (17mm/19mm, or 19mm/21mm) that makes undoing even the tightest of bolts a doddle.
I used to have a Laguna II with the 1.9DCi engine (prone to turbos going boom), who's ECU was running Windows ME, or at least that's what it felt like with the number of times I'd have to reboot the car to clear a fuel injection fault, normally on the motorway so I'd be on the hard shoulder, where the £150 a corner tyres would find every single nail they could, normally near the edge of the wheel so they couldn't be repaired.
One night that springs to mind, I was heading up the M1 just south of MK after doing a 12 hour shift when the error occurred.
So I pulled over, got out the horrible scissor jack and the car slipped it's handbrake and the wheel fell on the jack snapping it's arm.
It was about 11pm so I phoned the AA and got recovered to the Coachway at Jnc 14. The recovery lorry didn't have a jack small enough to fit under the car so had arranged for a patrol van to meet us there. Unfortunately as it was coming up to home time for the patrol van driver, he "misunderstood" where they were meeting, so went off shift, meaning I had to wait until 1:30am for a local recovery firm who had the post-midnight contract to come out and fit my spare wheel, so I could then carry on my journey up to Grimsby. Not a good night.
Of course, had I been in my Xantia it would have been a doddle to change. Handbrake on, slacken wheel bolts, set car suspension on high, get spare and jack out from under the boot, extend the jack to fit snug under the sill by the wheel that needs changing, set suspension on low and watch the flat wheel lift itself off the ground making removal so easy.
No heavy lifting required
And this is why nobody likes American cars.

Sadly and unexpected my HOX passed away earlier today.
We were in the car togehter and my dear HOX was running Waze giving me helpful advice along my route when it suddenly screamed (yes!) and soon there after the screen went blank. All my attempts to resuscitate was futile and while I held HOX in my hand it's feverish temperature burnt me.. and the smell... oh the smell!
I rushed to the nearest 3 ER (Service Center) where the could do nothing but confirm it had perished.
It was completely stock, no unlock, nothing modded but a Copter screen protector. Is there a support group for grief counseling?
So sorry to hear of your loss. I think it might have overheated on the dash. Was the sun shinning on the phone while it was giving you directions?

No, it wasn't sunny and it was mounted in the official HTC car thingy, and there is an air vent just behind it. Maybe just because it wasn't sunny and bright the backlight was cranked up?

The remains has been sent of to some center for doing a post mortem and I'm hoping (praying) it will resurrect (with major transplants). The loaner I got is a stranger from another Galaxy who is terribly slow.

I got my phone back today from the shop, according to the notes on the service bill the battery had overheated and shorted the mainboard. The case and screen survived but rest had been replaced.

Haha HTC didn't want to replace mine, eventually agreed though. Here's the funny bit:
To repair the phone they needed to replace the screen for the dead pixels. They then needed to replace the main board for the wifi issue.
Then needed to give it a new case for the wonky holes on front speaker. (and they actually did this even after agreeing to replace , still have same serial, just different imei)
You would have thought they might of just agreed to a replacement in the first place haha

Yes, it was major transplants but it's soul is the same. I've spent the day retraining all lost function and capabilities so the recover process is well on its way.
I personally would never use my HOX as a GPS guidance. Why not just buy a regular cheap GPS from any electronic store? Cell phones are not to be placed in any areas having sun shining upon. One time I was only leaving in my room where the sun was strong was gazing intensely inside, my HOX was severely overburned just from the sun.
I left my phone under my pillow with the alarm going off once, and i was in a really heavy sleep, woke up and it burnt me -.-

i am going to assume that i dropped it sometime in the morning and when i checked at night it was like this( dont ask me how it happened, i had no idea until like 10 minutes ago)
1) i assume normal warranty from ASUS will not cover this, correct?
2) i assume i will have to send it in to ASUS for repairs, right?
3) can anybody get me a legit email or number i can contact ASUS? (USA)
4) damn, life sucks.
it's funny because technically my screen is still 100% perfect, no physical scratch at all. i keep telling myself i might be able to fix it myself somehow if i open up the case, but until a professional comes in and tells me otherwise....
i sent out a couple emails to whom it might concern, otherwise my other options are -> try to get a hold of asus so i can start the repair process or......... buy a new one, maybe an 8GB?
on a side note, what is currently the cheapest place i can buy a nexus 7 these days? [USA]

yeah I had considered buying a new one too.
it sucks because Asus won't quote you an repair price until they actually have their hands on it. which means I have to waste shipping fees and my own time when I might have an option to get a brand new 8gb sonewhere. I read that Asus charges anywhere from 100-180.... yikes
Probably won't help at this point, but you can get 3rd party warranties that include accidental damage coverage. I got one from Squaretrade for $35 for 2 years. Hoping to never use it, but just cracked my phone screen last week and considering sending it in (phones have a $50 deductable so I'm not sure it's worth it... until it gets dropped in the toilet...).

Probably won't help at this point, but you can get 3rd party warranties that include accidental damage coverage. I got one from Squaretrade for $35 for 2 years.

yeah I seen a lot of posts about square trade from other forums I been reading. normally I'm ultra care about my tech stuff. (my first time experiencing a infamous "cracked screen") so third party warranties never really occurred to me.
ZOMG! It physically hurt me to look at that picture. Oh damn! Sorry man...
Call up Google, explain what happened and pray... But I'm pretty sure they are going to send you to Asus to pay $150 to replace the screen...

You'd be surprised/amazed what homeowners/renters insurance will cover.

My cat pee'd on my monitor, rang insurance and explained what happened, full replacement...was stoked as it was an expensive monitor!
If they cover that, surely they will cover dropping the N7
I actually threw my nexi face down on hard tiles by accident while turning around as my mum called me from the kitchen. Luckily I had the case on and I found no damage on it at all. The only problem I found was that the wifi toggle switch had been frozen, so I just reset it
SO ANYONE READING THIS POST BUY A GODDAMN CASE!!

I know I spelled "Phone" wrong
Recently, I was at a public place and someone came up to me begging me to buy his phone. Long story short, after a lot of talk I bought the phone from him and after 4 days he calls and tells me he wants it back.
Now, I have paid money for the phone and he is threatening me that he will call the cops on me because of theft and it is in his name. I paid for it, should it not be mine? Im in Canada btw
How does he have your phone number?
Did you have him sign a contract saying you bought it from him or get any proof that you did buy it from him?
He got my phone number because I am a dumb nut and I decided to call him from my other phone. There is proof that he sold it to me because I recorded the phone calls and it says he sold it to me.
Re: Bought a phone from someone, he wants it back???
In my opinion I would keep it. A person like that I would keep it just to really annoy. If he calls the cops what aren't they going to do. You can explain the story and then either you will keep the phone or they will take the phone and you get your money. All in all it is a win win for you. I would also not reply to him lol. Happened to me before but I just ignored them. No cops came thankfully.
Btw what phone did you buy. I bet he wants it back as he's used all the money lol. May not be but sounds like it.

I bought an LG phone, an old model. I really don't need a smartphone so yeah and it was cheap too, $40. Oh and that guy called me as a fake cop and he said I will be charged for theft.
I have all the proof that he sold it to me. Am I safe? I paid money for it, it's mine.
Recorded phone call yes youre safe. Lol still laughing as I type this

I can imagine himself thinking he's convincing over the phone as a fake cop. He probably put a sock over his hand and drew little eyes on it, and then had it talk over the phone for him. Considering he thought he was convincing, it sounds hilarious.

Well honestly if someone desperately sold you the device for 40 they probably are strung out on drugs.
If you have proof of you're gain(the phone) and his gain (money) and normally a witness would be perfect but if he's trying all this I might just sell it back. He probably try to assault you or break windows, but if you really want to keep it record a convo with him acting like you stated then call and have a restraining order placed.

FTFY
you're = you are (You're using "you're" incorrectly.)
where as
your = the possessive form of the word you (Using the word you're in this case was your mistake.)
This concludes Storm's "you're, your, yore" class for the day.

LOL. I wish you could post the recorded calls. Or can you?
Did you get a receipt?
If not, burn the phone, head south of the equator for some cheap plastic surgery and wait for this to blow over.

Hello all,
I bought a GS4 yesterday and sold my brother my note. I received my UAG case today and have no need for it. So I am going to give it away. I don't really know who im going to give it to, but post something here that is cool or funny and if I like it the most, you get the case. I'll decide Sunday and send it out Tuesday.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazes. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."
Already asked if he wanted it and he doesn't.

Husband takes the wife to a disco.
There’s a guy on the dance floor giving it large – break dancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works.
The wife turns to her husband and says: “See that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down.”
Husband says: “Looks like he’s still ****in celebrating!!

So apparently people think that I am trying to BS people here. I won't call anyone out but I have gotten two or three messages. I didn't take that image from anywhere other than my table. Please see attached for a completely unnecessary proof picture.

Its was actually pretty funny joke...
So an Android, a Blackberry, an iPhone, and a Windows Phone walk into a bar. Only one gets a Beer.
.... Okay I lied.
Only Androids can walk so none of the others were there at all.
Already got UAG case, but might as well post a funny one just heard the other day. ***Warning*** its R-rated and some might find it offensive, but we are all adults and should have some sense of humor
So this guy walks down the beach and sees a beautiful girl lying down on the sand without arms and legs, crying. He approaches her and asks why is she crying? She replies "I'm very sad because I never been effed before". The guy looks at her, carefully picks her up in his arms, and... throws her right into the water saying "Now you are really effed".
