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 |

Jenny is right, this accident happend on a public road.
I actually warned him about the car and specifically told him to take it easy... Seconds later I'm sitting on the roof of my sinking car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) He claims that by letting him drive the car, I took the risc that something like this could happen and therefore he only feels responsible for half the damages. If I borrow your tools and break 'em, do I only need to pay half of it, because you knew there was a chance I would break them? I don't think so... I've given him a couple of days to think about it and reconcider. If he pays the money I feel he owns me, I have no further issues with him, and all is forgotten and forgiven. If he doesn't, I'll sue him for a shit load more... cheers, Jeroen |
