Ok, so the guy who totalled my taildragger came by the other night to talk about settling the damages.
I told him that the damage was about 14K (total worth of the car minus what I got for the wreck and some parts that I took off of it). Which I think is a very reasonable amount, since I took the value of the car by what I would have gotten for it if I sold it. If I wanted to replace the exact same car, the amount would have been MUCH higher... He offers me to pay half of that! Then he says that from the 7K he feels he ows me, he'll pay 4K in cash The rest he'll make up for by selling my house (he's a real estate agent) But hang on, the best thing is yet to come... Next he tells me that if I don't have enuf money to buy another car, he'll LEND me the money for it And he tells me he thinks THAT'S a reasonable offer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) W T F ??? I told him NO FUCKING WAY. You break it, you pay it, simple as that... I don't think I've ever been so stupified in my entire life. This is prolly gonna end in a lawsuit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) cheers, Jeroen |

I think from Jeroen's first post of the incident, IIRC, he and said friend were out for a drive. I don't believe it was a track or even autocross event.
Jeroen, I'm really sorry to hear it come to this. It's disappointing when people show their true color sometimes. After hearing his offer, I don't think I'd want him as a friend or a realtor. Like it was only half his fault. I don't mean legally, but more morally. Maybe you were supposed to warn him to steer clear of bodies of water? I mean, HE PHYSICALLY DID THE DAMAGE! Take some responsibility man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Ugh... I really hope it all works out for you. So be it if you lose him as a friend/realtor. At least you can recoup your losses. And a friend like him you need as much as I need a bamboo chute in the eye... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Good luck, Jen |
