Got the letter today that the Jeep is official totaled, offer is $27,329.50 which is strong and well over Nada clean retail. Even though we haven't accepted anything yet they already put her up on the auction block, so for your viewing pleasure:
well, all insurance is only a good deal if you have to use it.
The customer of mine with the Mini that had a tree branch fall on it 2 weeks ago during the tropical storm only had standard liability. His insurance company said; sorry a tree branch fell on your car, but we aren’t going to pay to fix it.

He should sue the property owner where the tree was located. Obviously a defective tree.

2020 Ford Explorer ST in Magnetic with black leather. Pictures to come tomorrow when I pick it up since it has to be transferred from another dealership. That makes 2 punches in less than a month, well 3 if you count the car we are buying from the kid. If the RV is counted that puts me at FOUR for the year! Do I get a medal?

Let's see how many speeding tickets I rack up.....apparently it can outrun most of the Explorer interceptors except the newest ones......
one benefit of driving an Explorer. People get out of your way. My SIL has a black one (in NY) and apparently on the highway it is like the parting of the red sea.

I almost bought a black one but I don't want to look like an unmarked so I went with magnetic instead but still close enough. I think I'll enjoy the fun to be had.....especially with 400 hp.......

It looks like I got ghosted by Vroom. After submitting the documentation, I never heard back and now the offer has expired. Sent an enquiry to their paperwork email but go no response.

Love that color. I think you’re really going to like it. Big congrats on the punch. Glad what was a bad situation was made good!
That’s such a shame. Probably drove from the dealer directly into storage. Even if it brings it’s original MSRP the owner is still out the 25 years of storage costs. I love low mileage cars but they should be enjoyed.

I think vroom and Carvana had issues early on when the pandemic hit. Not sure why now. Maybe a technical glitch? Or possibly they got flooded with accepted offers since they were generous and couldn’t keep up. Maybe just try again.
The Brit magazine Thoroughbred and Classic Cars have recently mentioned the E28 535i and F-Type as good cars to buy and drive. They are good values that might even appreciate a bit if you hold on to them.

JR's last few videos have been kind of off: * TPMS is good, but also bad! * Let's hack up and restomod an all original classic Camaro! * Fixed the airbag light in my 2010 Camaro, something something leather seats, it's fixed now, but no video of replacing the passenger presence sensor.
Normally he specifically mentions it if there was a camera failure. Looking forward to the new video of the C30.
Yeah - I think JR is focused on releasing content quickly vs. cohesively - too many cars at once, piecemeal, plus random things about flying? Hoovie does that too, but instead of releasing the videos piecemeal he releases them in more of a series for each car.

Since so many SUVs are black how do you tell the difference in a rear view mirror? They all look pretty similar to me.

I understand him jumping around between projects--that's pretty much the same sort of thing most reality TV shows do, and it's been a resounding success for them. But, some projects, like the R8, go on for too long to the point that they basically disappear/reappear, and it would be cool to have a pre-made playlist for each car for people who are new to the channel and/or interested in specific builds.
I thought the video he did "urban exploring" an abandoned amusement park was pretty cool. It's hosted on a different channel. I think the channel is linked to in the sidebar at the right.

Some dimwits could not believe that I took my M6 to the track and also autocrossed it. At the end of the day it’s a car and I used it the way its builders intended.

He showed the replacement of the sensor in a lot of detail. And the module under the seat.
I never realized the occupant sensor was just a big pad, like a cheap seat cushion for a kitchen chair!
The 67, got a lot of blowback on that. Really made no sense since finding a rolling chassis with no motor is not hard, and cheaper!
I like the TPMS episode. Never really saw how those worked and how to replace them. The reset tool was neat.
Part of his problem is he films with one hand while working by himself. So you get very little of the actual work shown. Was better when he had the girlfriend filming. Or when he has helpers so can actually film action.

I saw him flip up the seat covering after he’d replaced the sensor and saying it’s really easy, but I must’ve missed him showing the actual replacement. It might be helpful for him to get a set of glasses with cameras in them so he could film hands free and also show things from his perspective.

There is always somebody. I think the only car nobody ever questioned me tracking was the GTI.

You tracked a G35 too, right? I'm sure that raised a few questions
yup. That got the most raised eyebrows, I believe. The 540 was another. My two "limos." But they also got me compliments in the form of "I had no idea such a big heavy car could do that!"
The 300z was another that got attention, but more due to age, of course.

The Jag has a lot of miles for a finicky car. Is that the Ford 4.0L in it? Might be more reliable than some high strung European motor.
