    Hey guys Question..What would You do?

    OK ..So today i shipped my car here From Germany To states. I brought it to the shipping Company to inspect it and send it on its way and during the Inspection the guy inspecting Missed these deep Scratches ( must of been like 6 or 7 big ass Scrapes) Under the lip of front Bumper ( from my wife Scraping it when she Parks). 2 of my rims also had some damage from Curbing. He didn't annotate none of that damage on our inspection Paperwork. But he did write down some paint chips and so on..but nothing major. anyways Car is on its way to the US on some ship. Ok so heres the Question. I don't want to hear this legal Mumbo jumbo...Just truthful answers

    When it get to states do i make a claim for the damage and get a new bumper and maybe some wheels?


    Or do the right thing? blah blah blah

    I already know that i should not of let my wife drive the car.

    FLAME ON!!!

    You should convince them that the audi is not your car and you want your lambo that they lost. Why go for just a bumper when you can go for the whole shabang.

    Re: Would you If you had the Chance

    Even if you tried, it probably wouldn't get covered. It's normal damage that 90% of cars have... and if they did pay, it wouldn't be jack shit.

    But come on... don't be the trash of society so fall to the lowest ranking of people. You're a 26 years old married adult, this is something a teenager would consider.
    Ignorance is bliss.

    Mumbo, mumbo. Jumbo, mumbo mumbo. Mumbo jumbo jumbo mum...no jumbo jumbo right mumbo.

    No one should have to pay for damages you created other than your insurance company or you, that includes your wife and others that are allowed to drive the car.

    How old are you?

    What does the "government" have to do with any of this?
    Answer: Nothing.

    Please go to school, pay attention, eat your breakfast, and try to learn something. You'll be happier in the future.

    The guy is probably assuming the OP is doing a military move. And if you are, OP, sounds like you're making the right call to not go through with that. A guy I was in the service with dropped five paygrades for something similar. Was some other drama too, for which his wife ended up turning him for. Ouch.

    Doing things like that is the same as screwing the insurance company. You may benefit in the short term, but you f*** everyone else by increasing the premiums they charge. Do the right thing.

    I just reread the OP's original post, and I don't see where anyone would get that idea, that's it's got anything to do with the military.

    He clearly states the he brought the car to a shipping company.

    btw you can go on posting against everything i post here,it doesnt bother me and it doesnt change the fact that your an ignorant person.

    Ok, that's an asinine thing to say.

    But, there is some truth to being happier and living a better life knowing you have integrity and honesty. You don't have to second yourself and post silly questions on internet forums, especially when you admit you already know the "right thing" to do.
