Fairly busy weekend as well. Kids trampoline party on saturday. My little one loved it

Sunday I picked up an old box TV cabinet to convert into our entertainment cabinet. Took out the TV stand portion, took out some extra drawers and added shelving. Next up is to add 2- 120mm fans in the top for air ventilation while keeping the doors closed. Hell of a deal for $40 + $15 in wood/supplies. Solid piece, was fucking heavy to move.

Tonight is either going to be date night if I can get a sitter or finishing the final top row of the fireplace rock.

Bridge calls all weekend

Recovery mode from my bachelor party on Saturday....went to Gat Guns and did some shooting, shot my buddies AR and also rented a SCAR. Then went to the pistol range and shot my old Walther a little bit, but mostly shot my buddies 1911, 9MM XDM, and Sig P229 .40...went back to another buddies house, drank a shit load of beer, grilled some steaks, then closed down Scores at 5 AM.

How'd you like the AR?

That's how I got started, went and shot my buddies AR, next thing I know Im surfing around on Seekin's website looking at crazy parts.

I like being able to shoot 75 yards at GAT but the range is just so dark and dingy, I wish Fox Valley had a 75 yard range to shoot at.

SCAR's are so damn expensive it's crazy, and now that someone pointed it out to me, is all I can see is an UGG boot for a stock on them. ?

I liked the AR...it only had the iron sites, so it was a pain to shoot any further than like 30 yds, but it was fun. I'm not in a big rush to go out and get one yet. I'll get out with my buddy again and put some more rounds through it, and see if it's worth it.

Honestly, none of us really felt the SCAR was any better than the AR. It had the holographic site, which was cool, but it shot very similar to the AR.

Quick question.
Some lady sideswiped me in my Grand Am. Going like 10 mph. Near a stop light. Minor damage. She admitted fault. Last Saturday. We exchanged information. I didn’t call the police. She already had her insurance agent call me. And the agent said Safeco Insurance will call and set everything up. To get my car fixed.
Should I not call my insurance yet? Wait to see if her insurance takes care of everything. I have Progressive.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I always call my agent and let her know I had an accident but I am not processing a claim. She likes that. Its a good CYA move.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

You shouldn’t have to contact your insurance for anything when not at fault.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yes, let the insurance companies battle it out. Safeco's best interest ISN'T yours.

 

[Marko]

Well, they’re suppose to call back within 48 hours. I’ll wait to see what they say.

The agent claims they will give me a lot of body shops to choose from too. I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[Marko]

Thank God I wasn’t driving my nice cars. But the Grand Am is in really good shape for a daily.

Get estimate. And asked to be payed out. Then go rent a lady

I hope she's 9/10 and that Mrs. Emerballs also makes eyes at. Otherwise stop it. :Bowrofl:

 

[EmersonHart13]

I know you at lead paint as a child but do you still do it?

pick whateverthefuck shop you want. don't go off of what they say whatsoever.

 

[Marko]

I agree. I’ll see what and which body shops they offer first. If I’m not happy. I’ll call my insurance

 

[Marko]

It will buff right out. It’s minor but I’m no auto body expert. Lol.

 

[Marko]

Her vehicle. Was her fault.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Last time i had work, they made me go to a chosen body shop for an estimate. Did that then went to my guy and the rest was glorious....

 

[EmersonHart13]

PS, for a Grand Am I agree with Bub, take the check and get some blowies.

 

[Marko]

Man....I’d totally be pissed if I was driving my Camaro or Charger. Though.

 

[Marko]

That 2000 Grand Am has been in my family since it was brand new. It’s a great car. Only has 80k miles on it. It just needs a new stereo and speakers. But the car was in excellent condition. No rust and it runs great. Good on gas.

you can use "their insurance" and your shop still.

so many misconceptions with this shit.

i actually think it will... well enough.

 

[EmersonHart13]

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

 

[boostedguy05]

picks of your car.. check
picks of her car.. check.

picks of her.. FAIL.

and its a grand am, that little scuff wont hurt the resale. take the money and profit, but first they will LOW BALL the hell out of you on a repair, get at least 2 estimates and high ball them for more money.

also, i've always gave my insureance a heads up about an accident, even if i was doing everything through theirs. just in case things go south, its a quick call, hey i need you to take over and do your thing that i give you money for.
