the fight against insurance companies

Well the fight is on like donkey kong.  I knew it would come to this, i was just hoping i might not have to try and fight dirty with the insurance companies.  As some of you may already have known, a couple years ago i was involved in a car accident in my old vw cabrio.  100 percent other guys fault.  The corner of my car was smashed inwards.  The gay part was this.  They didnt even think about repairing the car, once they heard it was an 82.  They wrote it off immediatly.  The car still ran for crying out lound, it just needed the corner fixed.  Anyhoo, they only gave me 2800 dollars for it, which i find bogus, wanting 3500 for it.  SO insurance screwed me, even though i did nothing wrong.  Though i did learn from the experience.

A couple of years later.  My new baby, my 87 cabrio.  Brand new roof that i put on, all the rust taken out, so the body was mint.  I was slowly restoring the car.  It was running awesome.  Then some guy piles into it with a giant forklift, crushing the poor thing.  The battle commences.  Did i expect it to be written off?  Yes.  Because insurance companies are cheap and gay.  However, was i expecting them to give me a fair amount of coin?  Again, yes.  This car was in WAY better shape then my previous one.  With all the added new things to it, and the amount of restoration, you would expect a fair price.  Their offer?  3500 bucks.  What the hell?  I will agree that you can find copies of my car for 3500.  But with the body shape that mine was in?  New top?  no leaks of any sort? An alternator that is two weeks old?  I think not.  I have never seen a car like mine on a used car lot for less then 3.  And those are the ones riddled with problems.  I shopped around using internet, and auto mags to try and find my car.  Nothing less then 4 grand.  I even found one on an auto lot in Richmond for 6000.  6000!  What the crap is this 3500 business.

So now i must fight.  What an annoyance.  A constant amount of phone calls, trying to talk to different peole, leaving voice messages and so on.  Why are insurance companies so lame ass?  Whats the point of me paying out over a grand each year on insurance, when ive never been at any sort of fault, yet continue to lose money, as well as vehicles that i have babied.  Im mighty sick of it.

So now, i may not get another rabbit.  This is rather unlike me since the last 3 cars of mine have been rabbits.  Though i still love them in every way, im incredibally fed up with buying them, fixing them up, only to lose them as well as the money i put into them due to someone elses carelessness.  Insurance!  Bah! I laugh at your concept of insurance.  I love how when ICBC has a good year, they will send you a rebate cheque of 5 dollars.  WOW!  5 dollars!  That totally makes up for your ripping me off,  years of injustice, and trying to screw me with your "N" laws.  Why dont i just give you a huge chunk of my paycheck like income tax?  Oh wait, i already do.  Well at least i get good treatment and have my cares looked after?  Oh wait i dont!  Why do we get insurance again?  Oh yeah, to help pay for the accidents that drunks cause.  Sweet system.

Not this time bitches.
