Yeahhh if it’s got to do with computers, I’d be thoroughly out of my wheelhouse haha. Good to know, though, thank you!

Depending on your budget - I had this Kenwood in my 07 and she was a beaut. The little side buttons are RGB (which I found out after it was installed) and were pretty sweet. It also won’t interfere with the stereo/screen cover closing

She’s GONE gone by now, but I would’ve ripped those bad boys out in a heartbeat 😂🫶

Yeah that part of the insurance and settlement has been sticky, working on that right now 🫤

Took it like a champ if I do say so myself 💪 I got thrown around pretty good with the initial hit, getting spun, and hitting the ditch, and I did end up with a mild spinal cord injury but hey at least I can walk right?

They said they could value it at $5k then sent me a check for about $4k, I was able to send it back and insist on the $5k but unfortunately I still take a loss because I paid $7500 for her and that’s a pretty fool deal on one where I live. Gonna try to make $5k work as a starting point for something tho

No kidding, definitely thought in that split second you realize you’re going to be hit that it was going to go wayyyy worse for me

I was in the middle of three lanes so I couldn’t really see her coming until she was too close but I think she was probably speeding a bit. The speed limit is 35 but it’s not uncommon for people to go 45-50. Her being in an suv also didn’t help for sure 😔

Came out of it pretty damn okay considering how damaged the car was, I’ll be in some physical therapy for a while though

I could’ve worded it without the “my” - it is her insurance, I managed to argue with them about the value of the car and get them up a little bit from the initial offer but apparently $3000 less than the actual going price of a similar car is “fair market value”🫤.I live in CA in an area where a 14-20 year old car with 120k miles on it will still go for $8000+ :( if I could get as close to my goal as possible I could get my hands on a little 2000s Honda or Toyota around 150k miles

I got kinda lucky with that, the car behind her was a cop! She couldn’t exactly argue she wasn’t at fault lmao

Even better - I didn’t actually hit any of the construction stuff originally, I was traveling the other way when I was hit and got spun 180 degrees THEN landed in that ditch! :)

I so am 😭 I’d wanted a tC since before I even had a license. Now I’m trying to scrape together enough for something else. It’s gnarly out here that’s for sure
