What's upsetting you today? - Page 287

Cars...ugh. Wish we didn't need 'em, right wolf?

Queen, I don't know, it's probably fixable, only the front was demolished, but still...they say cars are never quite the same after something like that.

Thanks for the support, guys.

You can get a fuel pump on the net for like $120, if I remember what car you have or similar...

capnhowdy · 07-15-2009, 01:05 PM

The catch on the fuel pump will prolly be that it's located inside the fuel tank. Thus the steep labor charges. That sounds like a fair price in my geographical area. Sorry Wolf.

And Shaw, That sounds about like my luck. I feel you. You know the stories and attitudes always change later. Whiplash usually sets in after the shock of the accident ebbs... if you catch my drift.

Shawnee - It would be really cool if they'd get him for perjury. That'd teach him to lie when he's giving evidence.

lumberjim · 07-15-2009, 01:18 PM

you should both trade your cars in for new nissans.

Shawnee123 · 07-15-2009, 01:25 PM

I think sometimes my family thinks I'm stupid, too. Maybe I am.

Sorry to ear about your car, Shawnee. I am sure the insurance company of the kid will cover everything, he is probably lying to not have his insurance go up, or its not the first traffic accident he has been in. While you are fine now, please please please be aware of any stiffness, headaches or pain that might come up in the next few days. Go to the dr right away if you feel anything. Theses things can get worse over time and if you do not catch it BEFORE you settle with his insurance, can end up costing you money.
I was in a car accident 8 years ago ( friend was driving and hit the car in front of her who was stopped to turn) I still have days where I have little to no feeling in 2 fingers due to soft tissue damage and a possible pinched nerve (they can't find nerve damage) in my neck.
I would hate for you to have been hurt without realizing it.

Jaydaan · 07-15-2009, 01:51 PM

My husband bought me $200ish of lingerie May11, from a place that usually ships within days....It was paid for on May 11. They shipped part of my order the other day, and then the next day shipped the other part. We have been watching the tracking, and Canada Post says it was delivered 2 days ago! Thing is, I don't know who they delivered it to, cause it was not the correct address, we were home all day. Other things were delivered that day, just not my lingerie. So now we have to find out where it is, see who is responsible and hopefully have her ship out another package free of charge (and wait the 2 months back order again). Otherwise whoever received the package might be nice and send it back to the post office. BAH either way.

Jaydaan, thank you for that advice. My head did get jerked over into the top of the doorframe, but it doesn't really hurt. He was going pretty fast, though, and I may have hit harder than I thought. My neck feels a bit stiff, but I am the world renowned queen of muscle spasms on a regular basis. I have a bit of a headache, but I cried pretty hard for a while and think I did that myself.

I will certainly keep in mind what you said, and watch for signs.

I saw him in that millisecond before he hit...just enough time for it to vaguely register what was about to happen. If I had been just ahead by a second, he would have hit me square in the door, hitting me as well. My airbags didn't deploy in this case, but there are six of them in this car so they might have saved injury if he had hit me there, but I am still lucky.

Do you have any strange male neighbors who might have discovered a gold mine in their new shipment of sexy lingerie?

wolf · 07-15-2009, 02:05 PM

The $850 is a big bite, but strangely, I trust my dealership's service department. They've done well for me since my purchase of the vehicle, which is now 8 years old. Even if I could get a new fuel pump more cheaply, then what? I have no skillz, although, yes, I know I have friends with skillz, but I need the car back this afterlunch.

LJ, if you weren't in Cherry Hill, I'd certainly consider it. I loved my Datsun 210 ... which tells you how long it's been since I've owned a car from your product line.
