Jimlab, you should be speaking in a different forum as you're the one with not a rotary powered engine but some piston something or other? Secondly, he already said A. the guy wasn't working on the tree at the same time everyday B. he DID infact move it when it needed to be moved

Since you asked why he was in the third gen forum, why the hell are you in an rx-7 forum when you aren't even running a rotary powered vehicle? Oh and by the way, is your engine in yet?

Also, im sure there would be others (myself included) to fork cash over for the site if you weren't one of the people who wanted to anymore. There's ALWAYS someone.

T.c.

 

Hmmm... I wonder how long before this thread gets locked?

 

You're right, I'm "the one with not a rotary powered engine". I don't know anything about rotary engines or FDs at all. Silly me.

Easily compensated for by parking in the street and then moving to the driveway at night, or asking the neighbor to let him know when they planned to work on the tree.

Except the one time it really mattered, I guess.

Because I have an RX-7. Go ahead, ask me another trick question.

Want to buy me out?

 

About the time I get fed up and start telling everyone to eat a bag of ****.

 

I apologize, I guess I was misled when I looked at the title of this page and saw "RX-7 Owners Club". The fact that I can replace it for $500 does help me considerably. I chose to ask them to pay for it, and did it in a way that doesnt affect their insurance. My point was that **** happens in your own driveway. So aside from some arrogance, what was your point anyway? He came looking for advice on what to do about damages caused to his car on his property. Should he sue? Should he just call it a loss and pay for it out of his own pocket? Should he do a little vigilante justice? The neighbor could come over and ask him to move it and he could say "no". That still wouldnt make it any more his fault, it would just make him a *****.

 

That's odd, I don't see a single question asking what he should do about the damage in his original post. Are you a mind reader?

Personally, I think he should "sew".

 

So, let me get this straight. You said your neighbor had been cutting the tree down all week and in reality, he only cut on Monday and Thursday. Curious.

His fault? Probably. Your ignorance? Most definitely. You have to give the guy credit for letting you know that he was going to be cutting it down but you still parked there. That amazes me.

Accidents happen. There are far too many people on this forum who believe that confrontation and acting macho on the internet is the only way to solve anything. Fix it. Deal with it. Grow up.

 

I still think he should sew his neighbor.

 

Well not to jump into the arguement or anything but you know the title of the thread is What wood you do? so no he isn't a mind reader he is a title reader.

Theres good points to both sides but to point blame on the owner is rediculous, it's his car, his property, his decision. If he wants to park it there its his own right. Don't bash on him because he used his own driveway. Yes you would have parked on the street. So when something accidently falls out of the sky and hits your car, we'll laugh at you and say you should have parked in a garage.

And yes i'm sure you input lots of good things to this forum but it seems like this isn't one of them. And to be honest this is a pointless arguement cuz whether i'm right or your right or whoever, it doesn't change the fact that the branch fell on his car and it's not his fault. The neighbor needs to pay for it. End of story.

 

No, just a friend helping a friend.

 

I said YOU don't mean **** to me. I happen to have friends on here that I share info with, not my fault that other individuals butt-in. You seem to be so adamant about giving advice, why don't you follow your own and move on.

 

The best advice I've seen is to take it to the insurance company. Comp claims shouldn't affect your policy, at least they don't with State Farm here in Louisiana. However, I might not file a homeowner's claim for something so small as you get a limited number of claims and they will drop your ***.

 

This is really pretty simple. Tell your insurance company, they will IMMEDIATELY go after the homeowner's insurance company. Played correctly this won't even cost you a penny. This is obviously an accident, one of those "**** happens" sort of things. It really doesn't matter who, how, or why.....doesn't matter whether anyone should or shouldn't have been parking somewhere, doesn't matter whether someone should or should not have been cutting a tree. It's just an accident guys. No different than if my kid hit a baseball across the street and did some damage. Either ME personally or my insurance company is going to pay for this.

 

Thanks for all your comments. I learned way back (18 years ago) anytime something happened to my car, call my insurance company not necessarily to file a claim but just to have the incident on record and that's what I did. I knew the guy probably couldn't pay for the damage he caused so I filed it under my comprehensive insurance when it happened. My only reason for making this thread was to see how most would react and what most would do, not to gain sympathy. I've know the guy who did the tree cutting since I was 8 years old and we agreed if he paid my deductible there would be no lost love (State Farm is very good about payouts).

Bullshit. Based on past threads, it's pretty obvious what people say in threads like this one. The punks say "beat them up" or "sue them" and the more intelligent members say "tell your insurance company and let them handle it". Of course, based on the PM you sent and this thread, I'm not surprised you didn't have the intelligence to arrive at that conclusion...

You started the thread to stir up some **** and get attention/sympathy. Period. Why not just admit it?

 

Wow, your real good at putting words in other peoples mouths arent you Jim. I dont understand why YOU take over threads like this just to stir up crap. clearly thats what you do, you've posted more replys in this thread than the person who opened it. Get a life. Better yet, get your fat, slob *** away from your computer and finish your V8 swap. You have nearly 10k posts! no wonder how you know about rx7's, youve been sitting on this forum for what 5 years? Everyday ? Jesus man get a life. You need a vacation from this place, your a *****.

 

I guess there were no Psychology classes on your schedule. Did you even make it to college?

Because I feel like it.

Got one. Do you?

I don't have any need for it to be completed, so it's not. Pretty simple.

See, I knew you were bright...

Check out Steve Cirian's web site if you want to know whether my rotary knowledge predates my forum membership.

Why? What's wrong with the one I have? I'll put money on the fact that it's far better than yours.

Perhaps, but at least I'm not a dipshit and doomed to remain one for the rest of my life...
