Default Just dropped off the V at Crest and got a rental!!!

Ok for those that didn’t know I got rear-ended on Fathers day while coming back from a pool party at a friend’s house! As of to day I just took it to Crest Cadillac and got an F-ing 08 Pontiac Grand Prix ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? It feels so cheap!! The peddle feels heavy, the Steering wheel feels plastic, the go peddle plays tricks on me by getting real loud when I push it but not going anywhere!!!! WTF???? Come on!!!! At least the company that does the rentals told me that I can take it back and switch it with a charger SXT when they come in tomorrow...

That sucks, but at least you didn't get a Chevy Cobalt like I did when I had to replace the motor mount. At least it was under warranty.

Dude I'd be pissed if they gave me a cobalt as my rental! I raised a lil hell and let the guy know that I better not get a kia as the rental... Few minutes later he came out with a real worried look on his face and told me that the only full sized car he has is a Grand Prix but he would give me his card and that I could call tomorow to see if his new batch of cars had come in.. He said he should have a Charger for me.

I would have liked to get an H3 for name sake... I've never driven a DTS but I like more of a bumpy ride rather then a ride that feels like Im floating on air... They are nice however!

Ok,
I just got word that total cost was a lil over $6,000 dollars for the damage that was done with the guy that rear-ended me! They also said it would take 2 or 3 weeks for me to get back! I'm pissed off!!! I plan on going back and switching out the rental too!

$6K damage and 2-3 weeks wait seems like a helluva lot more than just a wee kiss in the ****. How fast was this dude going, did he even hit the brakes. Sounds like you need to call Dewey, Screwem and Howe, to start your lawsuit. I am sure that even though have yet to mention it, your neck and back must be killing ya.

Lol, as much as I would love to get the extra cash I would feel like **** doing it! I would rather wait for the lotto

Speaking of Lotto my friends parents just hit 43,000,000 in Texas so he will be getting a nice lil check from the padres soon! Its kind of messed up too because his parents are already rich too

If I got $43M, I would buy every V on the planet, put them in storage and sell one a year at auction for like $888,888,888 as it would have the rarity factor working for it.

When I started reading it I thought you were going to say you'd buy every V a Madman rear. Wishful thinking I guess. lol

The good news is that my boy wanted to get a new STS-V once he gets his money but I talked him into getting a 09-10 CTS-V!!! Then I can get him to mod the hell out of that beast!!!!! Hmmm.... I will then race him and when I lose I will tell him that I would have done better with a MADMAN rear and an STS Twin Turbo kit! and then he will buy it for me (dreaming) so that we can have a fair race and I will live happily ever after at 12psi! THE END
