Despite everything, I think I feel it's pretty clear to everyone that NYC is a pretty bad place for anyone that enjoys driving.

New York City..... It's the center of the universe for food, fashion, financial, culture, and entertainment. NYC has it's problems but this is the best city in the world,
I grew up in New York City. (Actually, Queens, which a number of Mayors and most Manhattanites don't really consider to be part of The City.) It's very provincial. Most people who live out their lives there do so because they don't know anything else. When I moved away it took me a couple of years to realize that there was something else, and that the something else could be better. Some elses worse, but a lot of elses better.
Lotta cool stuff in NYC, but there are also things like the BQE.

Is that a joke? It gets worse and worse after each "repair". It's been on repair for how many years now? It's been on repair as far as I've been alive actually. It just deteriorates more and more every year and the lane closures for the so called repairs doesn't help either.

Now that I've diverted the thread to the BQE...let's consider this.
Nycgps's accident was on Delancy Street, after crossing the Willamsburg Bridge. Since he lives in Queens, I presume he took the BQE.
The man took an RX-8 on the BQE!!! Why have we been so sympathetic to him? He should be villified as a sociopathic 8-hater. I would NEVER subject Zoomy to such a thing.
Retraction and apologies if the BQE was not involved.

Sorry to hear this...
Insurance? Everybody has to deal with that, but, your car got **** on by a garbage truck. You've had just about every panel ripped off of it in one way or another in a space of very little time.
So can I ask a question? Why do people WANT to live in New York? It's painful to hear about this stuff. I'd go ******* crazy after the first week of living there. Is it some sort masochistic thing? You've been beaten over the head so long that when it stops, you go "hey. what the hell? I need a good beating or I won't feel right."
What is the draw? So much additional crap and "overhead" you have to deal with in life...

I just cant take that garbage juice all over my windshield and doors ... for a second I really wanna kill all garbage truck drivers ... LOL !
Here's a pic of your 8 before the beat down night... I spotted you midtown once..
As for why live in New York City..... It's the center of the universe for food, fashion, financial, culture, and entertainment. NYC has it's problems but this is the best city in the world, 24 hours a day.
As for geico. As long as I tell them I have Volks they will still retain my policy and even cover them if they are damaged in an accident? Will they can a policy if you have an exhaust installed?

this is a good opportunity for me to fix all the digs and paint chips on the car ... Then I will have a photo inspection
oh btw yes thats my car. damn, I dont even remember where was that ... its somewhere in midtown but hmm ...
Confirmed. GEICO after going through subrogation/litigation with the at fault drivers company will get your deductible back to you. Girl who hit me only had $10k property damage coverage (who the hell only has $10k coverage?) and total damage between mine and the car who hit her was about $22k. Even though both cars with damage exceeded her limits, the companies agreed to a split of her policy limits based on the cost of further litigation and of the money GEICO recovered they made sure I got my deductible back. Whole process took about 8 months.
*sigh*
Don't confuse size and importance with best.

Its a nice place to live ... but the roads ... Argh ...

Update :
Damn it ! I got another payment today thru mail. its my deductible.
I was like hmm, this isn't right. cuz now Im just getting what they quote me earlier ---- STOCK BUMPER PRICE !
I understand that if Im claiming thru my own policy, this is what Im getting. but NOW im claiming it thru HIS collision damage policy. I should get back FULL amount including the cost of my MS bumper. plus whatever damage behind the bumper (Im afraid my VFAD tube might be damage, but dunno yet)
Damn Gekko ... Need to call them

WHAT THE FUXK ! #@)$*@#)$*
Ok, tonight, gonna go out to eat dinner with my cousin and a buddy. driving to the city. got off williamsburg bridge, delancy ST (NYC ppl knows where it is), Red light, so yea I stop, everybody stopped.
All of sudden, this Nissan Pathfinder in front of me decided that he should back up (reverse), I was maybe 3-4 feet away from him. when I saw his reverse signal on I was like "wtf???". so I honk. but he continued ! I HONK HONK HONK HONK !!!!!! and yeah whats next?
I watch him killed my whole bumper, its not even 1 year old. Literately, Wow !
He said he back up because this truck or whatever was trying to cut him on the right side and he did NOT see me behind him !!!!!
His Pathfinder's tow hook (whatever its called) hit my bumper, thats why his car seems ok while my bumper has a hole on it ... another new bumper?
hmm ... I dont know man. He was nice and stuff, so I didnt get **** that much. Cops came 10 minutes later (that was fast), filed the report(cops tried to ask us to settle this off the books, Im like no, this thing will cost over 1K for sure, then they like ok and do the report), off to my original destination (food) , parked the car ... eat ...
Had a nice meal, my gf and my cousin's gf came later, chat for maybe 2 hours .. fun ...
When I thought everything was over ...
Wow .... fuxking Garbage truck probably came, and spill some ******* garbage on my car !!!!!
I mean WOW ! What kind of Luck do I have !?
DUDE SERIOUSLY, WHOEVER WANNA GOES VEGAS MAN, IM UP FOR IT !!!! w00t w00t !

at my apt some *** in the parking space next to me slammed his door into my car so hard it set off my alarm, left a HUGE crease in my passenger rear door and embedded his red paint into it... he just left, no note, no "sorry", nothing! I found it fucked up the next day... I have a friend in San Diego that got me hooked up on getting it fixed... I picked my car up... and didn't even make it out of the parking lot before some ******* tweaker rear ended me!!!
then a week later another ******* backed into my front bumper while my car was parked at work and didn't leave a note or anything! the car gods are against me...
I hate people...
