i had a '85 GTI that was totalled because someone stole the wheels off of it. Thats it. no accident, no flood, no damage to the rest of the car - someone just stole the wheels. insurance company deemed the cost of wheel and tire replacement to exceed the value of the car so they "totalled" it. its just a money thing. i bought the car back for a pittance, went to the junkyard and got another set of wheels and drove it for another 3 years then sold it for more than i paid for it. insurance companies = legalized gambling... its just a money thing.. they make money on you but when it comes time for them to pay out a claim.. HA! they take the cheapest and easiest way out. chris |
