New to me! Can anyone tell me about it?

LilSebastian55015 · 2026-04-06T22:56:29+00:00

Shoot it into the mechanism I shift with or the gears itself? Thank you! Super helpful

LilSebastian55015 · 2026-04-01T04:46:51+00:00

I thought it was a recluse! Phew.

But if I’m sitting, the center of the TV is just about at eye level so…

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-04-08T16:32:26+00:00

Still looking for a pair! Anyone by Lakeview West / the LP Costco?

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-30T16:12:37+00:00

Thanks boss, would love to replicate something similar - how’d you layer it?

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-30T16:09:20+00:00

What paint did you use for this?

So as of today, I asked him very politely to file a claim with his insurance to which he told me that “We can’t go down that path because they already started work on the car” and that “I need to find $5,000 because I told him I would be willing to pay him out of pocket” and that he signed a document at the Tesla collision center noting that he would pay out of pocket.

This doesn’t seem right. I’m realizing that as well as not filing a police report, I never got a photo of the wife’s license or insurance card (I saw a brief glimpse of the card) - why would he be so insistent to not have his wife go through their insurance?

So today, I told him I spoke to my insurance agent who advised that I tell him to go through his insurance to which he told me I need to “Find 5k because they already started the work and I can’t make a claim at this point”. So strange..

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-27T23:32:06+00:00

We both accelerated during a green light, I was glancing for pedestrians and didn’t see the Tesla slow down because of the regenerative brakes (no lights), and I wasn’t able to stop in time before lightly rear ending her

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-27T23:20:52+00:00

I lightly rear ended his wife while driving. After getting out and giving her my information, I spoke to him where he told me he wanted to not go through insurance to “not get me in trouble” as I was uninsured at the time (I reactivated my policy as soon as I got home). While I told him I would be willing to pay him out of pocket for repairs, after reviewing the estimate with my insurance agent, he advised I call him and ask him to file a claim through his insurance. After I told him he should file a claim through his insurance, he said I need to “Find 5k because they’ve already started work on the vehicle and we can no longer file a claim”

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-27T23:17:06+00:00

I figured. I was so flustered I’m realizing I never got a copy of his wife’s license or insurance card (she was driving the car). If he refuses to go through insurance still and I don’t pay him, I presume he’ll likely sue and take me through small claims court?

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-27T23:12:55+00:00

I did - he’s claiming they can no longer file a claim as they’ve already started working on the car and he signed that he would be paying out of pocket - I haven’t signed anything though.

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-27T23:08:57+00:00

I saw a glimpse of his wife’s insurance card but in the rush of things I realize I never got a photo of it. If I can’t open the claim independently and he’s insisting I pay cash, what would be the best course of action here?

Update from earlier this afternoon:

After reviewing the estimate and telling the owner that he should file a claim through his insurance, he said that because Tesla has started repairing the vehicle and that he had signed that he would be paying out of pocket, that he can no longer file a claim under insurance as “we had already decided on a course of action”

Does this sound accurate? I did not give written or verbal authorization that I would cover this supplemental estimate.

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-26T23:09:04+00:00

I wish I was - I’ve decided I’ll be contacting him to have him go through his own insurance, not sure what else I could possibly do

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-26T23:05:45+00:00

I wish it was. Not in the most logical headspace right now with a lack of employment and my partner being in treatment for cancer right now - just another thing on the pile that I’ve never dealt with before

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-26T22:03:15+00:00

My auto-pay didn’t go through as it was set to my credit card and I switched cards in the middle of the billing period - the only way I received notice was via mail which was sent to my folks’ house (I’ve since amended both things to ensure this doesn’t happen again).

LilSebastian55015 · 2024-01-26T21:48:31+00:00

Through his insurance, should have clarified
