working these catastrophe claims for Texas is EXHAUSTING! (Dallas hit THREE times within 30 days - hail, San Antonio- hail, and now Houston- flooding)

being into good looking paint..its very tough to see these pictures

Ive totaled out some very nice cars all week long. Sad times.

yeah that really bites for all involved and auction goers need to make sure you dont get one of these .... is there an insurance law that could make those cars you total be crushed?

salvaging a title varies by state

for instance in Texas for hail you can keep your car and we dont even stamp the title as salvaged

for flood- you cant keep the title. its salvaged for flood and taken from you and the dealerships (mostly shady ones) will buy these suckers up like crazy and do whatever they do with them which kind of scares me to think about people buying those vehicles later on


I was left with a strong impression that a lot of these cars dont get crushed and are essentially bought by shady dealers (but then again I ask A Lot of questions and always find out info beyond my job duty/title- just curious by nature)

Well, his whole school is going, but its not a school sanctioned trip (for insurance reasons I would guess), it was run through a tour group.

Then run out to the garage while shes not looking and throw your wash soap into the street. Then tell her that was the only container you had! And the boxes are girl scout cookies, not car products.



Unsupervised on a school trip??

I am lucky, I have great kids, I let my older one go, and it was an EPIC move of a time. Came home no worse for the wear. Some of his friends were no allowed to go, and I really believe that if they have earned your trust, you need to trust them, and not shelter them bc in a year he will be away at school, and those sheltered kids end of going HOG wild after being so locked down.

Drinking age is 18 down there and the whole hotel is HS Seniors. Im sure they will be studying for their upcoming AP/Tests-what else have you got to do with all included everything on the beach for 6 days?

Ill check back with you all in 6 days an d let you know if I made the right call???????????????
