    you've been through teenage daughters.

    I guarantee they would consider not being able to find their cell phone to be an emergency!

    I guess my question is whether the woman is suing or is her insurance company suing, to try to recoup what they've paid in medical expenses.

    Sounds like from the other link that it's just her. But if she wins, then her insurance company will probably sue her for reimbursement.

    It's the great American pastime (suing, not baseball. :shades: )

    I believe it is her suing. But, not quite as bad as it sounds (suing a little kid). More like she is suing the LL's insurance company, but to do that, you have to sue a person for the actions.

    once that happens, the LL insurance steps in, and they probably assign a lawyer for the kid.

    sounds off that it could not be resolved normally thru the insurance (unless she just did not have any?)

    I was once on a jury in a trial that was clearly driven by the insurance company. A woman was suing a guy she hit in a parking lot. She lost but took up an otherwise perfectly good day doing so.

    Idiot #1 - the fine is fine. However she also should have cell phone account suspeneded for 30 days.

    Idiot #2 - not so much an idiot but certainly unfortunate. Having had my orbital broken many years ago, the pain is pretty bad for many years.

    Idiot #3 - yes, this one is a fully qualified idiot. Wish the gps told her to jump off a bridge, she'd have done it. The little white ball directly under her transfer case would be in the official rules of golf, an unplayable lie. Much like the story she tried to foist off on the police about her gps.

    What the heck is it with the Pirates? Now I have to look more to figure out what they are up to.

    Right now I'm having all I can do to figure out how the Mets are still 5 over .500 and hanging around.

    Fezo - the Mets are playing fantastic right now. Over the weekend, all 3 games could have gone either way (believe me, I'm very happy with the outcome). The Mets NEVER gave up. Collins should be NL Manager of the Year.

    Just when I think they are having a special season, and they did play string if not quite string enough games against the Yankees, they go back to being the Mets last night. Back to back three base errors.....

    No old dumb crooks stories. Those are great but I'm looking for current gems....

    Didn't George Carlin say "If you drive faster than me you're crazy, if slower than me, you're an idiot"? Of course it was much funnier the way he said it.

    Hope everyone has a great 4th of July! (And don't drive like crazy idiots.)

    Now for those here who go back far enough you should know that long ago we had a long running hit series of topics here (back then you could overload a topic and have to start version 2,3,4....) called Ask Sir Fezo. (For those wondering I was knighted by another poster some time around 1997.)

    I notice now that Edmunds.com is using the motto "Ask the Car People." They have gone so far as to trademark it. Your Sir is beginning to think that his creative powers have been used for commercial purposes with no compensation (though I got a really nice jacket for having this topic...).

    So now everyone should howl in protest to our overworked hosts.......

    Good one!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----
    However, if pressed, I'd yestify that Sir Fezo is indeed due a % of the advertising fees associated with this site as he has spurred on remarkable increases in viewership and click through. Or perhaps Edmunds could see to it that cars they test cycle to the Sir's driveway a week at a time on a regular basis. Let him add his 2 cents as part of the review. I can visualize a Panamera 4s in the drive next to the Ody...

    I LOVE your idea and it only confirms my opinion of you as a poster with superior intelligence but must break one bit of news to you - no more Ody. I am officially out of the minivan biz since October. Maybe should be in some 12 step program....

    I traded it in at another poster's dealership on a 2007 Solara convertible. With rare exception, such as being released to home tomorrow with all my junk, I don't miss the van. This winter was mild enough that I've had the top down every month I've owned the Solara. Well, for April and maybe May my wife had to have the top down but she somehow made the sacrifice......

    Let's see when they send me Panamera 4s. I'm ready. I'll even do a long term test for them at little extra charge...

    Well then, if the Sir supports the idea, it must have a high degree of merit otherwise he would never throw his full support behind something not worthwhile. As far as waiving the fees, our host, while being fully in command of the obvious, is dare I say almost denigrating this concept in the presence of the Sir himself. Brave? We shall see.

    Sorry about the Ody. But a ragtop that is not a Miata? Am surprised and a bit impressed by your open-mindedness, or opentoppedness.

    Well we'd have to test this theory. We'll have fezo banish himself from the forums for say a week and then see if we notice a massive drop in Forums visitors. :P

    Actually, since Edmunds Forums are not Facebook, I'd guess that a small % of revenue might not quite add up to the cost of the stamp to mail him his check :P

    However, it's my impression that :shades: Edmunds has always valued quality over quantity when it comes to membership.

    I'm being replaced!

    I've been missing a while. After they let me go home for about ten days I developed bad headaches which turns out to be toxoplasmosis - something I've had to deal with all my life. This time as a lesion on my brain. Nasty thing and no telling how long I'll be laid up.

    Stay tuned.
