Well for those in the know some updates: Betty Rumbles is well on her way to being back to where she was before S got tangled up with the scammer. Unfortunately our camera was corrupt so this is gonna be an at fault so that sucks. Jolene the newish shop truck will be on the way next to being put back together, now we just avoid all parking lots with Uhaul trucks in them. For the new folks and those not in the know 3/31 S got caught up in a swoop and squat. Even at 100% Brake below 30mph she collided with the rear car in the two car team. Betty Rumbles received $2,635.64 in damage and the scammers car was rated at over $4,600. Basically she went under his rear bumper so it took out Betty's headlights and grille as well as doing damage to the top of the bumper cover. The grille caused some minor hood damage since it is mounted to a steel support structure which popped the emblems out of the hood ornament. Then less than a month later while doing some service work with our Scout Troop we support Jolene had her face ripped off while parked by a UHaul truck that tried to flee. He was caught by witnesses and made to turn back. In the process of returning he managed to hit a church building. When talking to the cops he claimed he had no knowledge of either incident. If he was drunk that might have made sense but he was sober and had just finished running a 5k so we think he was either dehydrated or suffering from mild heat exhaustion. Unfortunately the rookie officer let him go before the watch commander had reached back out to the supervising officers to confiscate his drivers license and hold him for a ride and someone else to drive the UHaul. I really hope he didn't hit anyone or anything else. Our Insurance is fighting with us on the damages to Betty Rumbles and the UHaul insurance is trying to claim limits issues but they have accepted liability they are just going as slow as humanly possible in getting us the initial check. As for ours well....Traveler's has lost my business as they are seriously devaluing the car and trying to over inflate the repair estimate so they can total Betty Rumbles out. We will be switching carriers shortly and possibly suing 's for bad faith. So for all of our customers, friends, and those that are both that is your update and we will advise you all to think twice before getting a policy with 's.
