Spazzy's new Evo

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Alrighty, update time.

The story on the bumper is that it's Mitsu's fault, not theirs. The service rep tried to get me a new bumper originally, and Mitsu said no, we're going to recondition it, and that failed. So now they're stuck waiting for a new one to get shipped like they wanted originally.

That right there is bullshit. Mitsu does not recondition bumpers. They only sell new ones. My guess is that the insurance wanted to go with a reconditioned bumper, but they weren't able to get one since the Evo isn't exactly a common car. I wouldn't want a reconditioned bumper anyways, most of the time they fit like garbage and sometimes the repairs made to them are totally obvious and not done properly.

This.

Most likely it was the insurance company wanting a used bumper because it costs less for them.

The body shop might have wanted to fix your bumper and keep the money for a replacement as well. Not sure if you will ever be able to get the real answer just talking to the body shop if that is the case.

^^ That is very illegal. If a shop gets caught doing that, they face some pretty hefty fines.

It's Luther's body shop, I highly doubt they'd do anything like that.

I know of no such high standards at luther. Only Raymond Auto body in St. Paul for me

Sorry you're getting jerked around so much with this. Any news on the dumb girl that hit you? If by some chance you can prove she was on the phone while driving, does that help you out insurance wise? Hope the car gets fixed and back to you, soon.

Remember spazzy, if this thing touches anything but tarmac on this cruise, including cutting corners, your ass is grass!

Don't make me sick Craig's baby on you.
