Not really any legal trouble, but well, let's just say in cases like this it's easy for some people to see a foreigner as a big walking bag of cash

Thankfully it was right in front of the office so my Thai partner came over to help negotiate, as well as the insurance guy, plus the guys on the bike were pretty friendly and not toooo pissed off, so in the end I was extremely lucky.

Similar thing happened to my mom years ago, she was turning in to a parking spot and a dumb lady on a motorcycle was trying to squeeze past, of course ran into the side of the car. Girl got off the bike and told my mom "you give me 3000 baht (about $80)". Lucky there was a cop right there, basically told her to f*ck off

Oh good.....really. Your other statement worried me a little.... =)

Well folks this is it... It is with a heavy heart that I have now sold my Yaris. I got promoted, and now have a ride much more appropriate...

My only regret? That it's not April 1st, when this would be much more appropriate

Well I went to visit my baby at the hospital this afternoon... Been over a month and it's not quite done yet. Suspension, bodywork and paint is done, they still need to change the windshield. But the biggest problem is the wheel that got hit is bent quite a bit. It's still in one piece, but if I get on the highway with it, it's gonna vibrate and wobble like crazy. Insurance will only cover the equivalent cost of the OEM wheel, which they quote at about $50

So, I think it's time to accelerate my plan to get some 15" wheels, but I'll need to sell my monstrous front brakes, anyone interested?

Anyway here's some pics, they also fixed up the scuffs, dents and scratches I accumulated over time, so the bumpers are out drying from their fresh coat of paint

You can also see my new front suspension lower arm, the original one got bent pretty bad (guy at the garage could not believe a motorcycle impact caused that much damage) and they also changed the wheel hub, apparently the bearing was busted too:

So, if they can get a new wheel in time, I ought to have the car back Saturday

*tk-421* · 02-17-2009, 07:42 AM

Woohoo! Finally...
So what wheels are you thinking about getting?

those ubiquitous 15" Spoon/EVO/ROTA 5-spoke ones, in flat black

but, as it turns out, I need to talk to the insurance again because I did pay extra to cover the modifications including the wheels.... the plot thickens...
