Sierra at Tahoe. My brother and I took the mounty up for a day of boarding. Perfect day for boarding and I had a chance to break in my new boots and bindings (and truck). On the road going out of the resort at the end of the day there was some ice that looked like melted water...basically we hit the ice going about 30 - 35 mph, smacked the side of the snowbank, went up some of the bank, at that point I closed my eyes because I heard glass shatter...felt like one complete roll but who knows.
Anyway car is fucked off and saved both our lives. Neither of us had even one scratch. AAA has been awesome so far and really on the ball with it. They gave me a 30 day paid car rental until they either total it out and cut a check or fix it...I really don't see them fixing it,..and no the airbags did NOT deploy. I don't think we were going fast enough for them to go off.
Sooo moral of the story...there really isn't one, other than it's just a peice of metal and my brother and I are cooool and no other cars were involved.
Best part is looking for another ride

Yup already lookin for something else...wife said some bullshit about a wagon? Unless its an Audi A6 then no way. I'm for sure getting something that isn't a v8 this time...we were tired of the gas consumption on the mounty anyway. We'll see...it'll be the wife ride so it most likely will suck more than the mounty
Need some suggestions on what to get. SUV, v6, $12,000-$20,000 LOW LOW miles is a must, 2000-2006. Thats my search window so far...

AAA isn't so cool anymore.
Tomorrow it will have been a week to the day that I rolled the mounty. And nothing has been done at AAA. No one has even LOOKED at it from AAA.
The tow yard charged ME the $258 towing fee even after I gave them my card. I'm getting charged $45 a day for the car to sit at the tow yard.
Friday ONE DAY after the roll over we got a call from the adjuster asking us if we wanted the car towed to a junk yard so we wouldn't be charged $45 a day for it being at the tow yard. We said YES....and guess what...car is STILL AT THE TOW YARD and no one from AAA has looked at it or sent anyone to bring it to the junk yard!!!
All these fee's come out of the check they cut when totalling out the car so basically out of my pocket! I've been sent to 4 different people and they all just send me to each other...if I have a question they say they don't know and send me to someone else.
And what can I do? Nothing...I'm just getting shafted and don't know who to call anymore or what to do. FUCKING MOTHER FUCKERS! The guy that is supposed to be looking at the car has not once answered his phone ALLLL WEEK!
Any advice? Buy some KY and bend over isn't really my first choice but its starting to look like I have no choice. I mean does it really take a fuckin full week to go look at a car that is CLEARLY totalled. They refused my photos, not that I thought they would take them but shit.
Last time I called the adjuster his v-mail said he is off tomorrow...so he had time to chance his voice mail but not return any of my calls...So I'll be paying another $45 for two more days while he's off fuckin his bitch monkey.

Call your agent...He's the one that will loose your business....Just keep calling and asking for management....
That is fuckin ridiculous...Personally, the first thing that came to mind is have it towed to your house, so you don't keep getting tow yard bills....But then, it's in TAHOE!...
WTF, Yeah AAA hasn't been working for me either...

AAA is only good for Towing you the free 5 miles (or if you have the advanced membership the 100 miles) coming to give you gas if you run out, helping you get into your car if you lock the keys in, etc.

AAA sucks ass,when my 65 got rear ended.I had AAA full coverage. They sent an adjuster out to talk down the price to fix it,but it wasn't even on their buck. The guy that hit me had farmers insurance. The body shop owner had to tell the adjuster to leave,then we called AAA and instructed them to stay out of it since they were working for the wrong team. Fuckin pricks. Some body shops don't even want to deal with AAA insured people,cause the adjusters are spineless. I have been treated better by cheapy insurance companys that weren't even mine.

I'm not just a roadside AAA member but my AUTO insurance is through them too. We are also AAA Plus Members which is the 100 mile tow. The car is fully covered and we have 3 cars through them...I almost thought we would get SOME KIND of service other than SHITTY!
And I've been really calm with everyone I've talked to in hopes they would be willing to help me out... I know at work I will go out of my way NOT to help someone if they are being pricks to me, so went out of my way to be cool with them....guess I need to contact supervisor and managers.....although that could just make things worse.

You need to do that otherwise nothing is going to happen.

WHOA!! I used to have Farmers....long time ago,...should have never left I'm trying to think what I must have done, since what goes around comes around but I cant think of a $13,000 come back that I should be shafted for...hmmm maybe its something I haven't done yet LOL.
Thanks for lettin me rant a little...sometimes when you can't do shit a little rant is in order. I still think "AAA" is okay and that I must have got stuck with the morons in the group.

What goes around comes around is just wishful thinking. Most people who do bad shit don't get bad shit done to them, so i don't think your being punished for anything.
