FUNNNN NIGHT! ugh

    Wow. Glad you are ok for the most part. Was the lady arrested? I would hire a lawyer asap as these things can get ugly and move really fast.

    there's been a lot of shit going on recently, but this incident looks like one of the worst in a while.

    at least you're on your way to recovering.

    always wear your seatbelt...even if you know you're not going far, you never know about other people. it's such a minor thing to do and it can absolutely save your life.

    bullshit, you don't need anything to see your car. when my acura got totaled the tow company gave me their card, i called, and got my shit without any hassle.

    you don't need to pay anybody a dime to get YOUR stuff out of YOUR car.

    Holy shit! This is one major catastrophe. I am glad to hear you are recovering and doing alright.


    Going to be a long time until things are settled finance-wise. You probably know so I won't go into detail. Sounds like you are well off with legal help/advice so it should go in your favor.

    agreed, call the police if they persist, they are withholding your belongings from you and demanding funds to see them...thats called ransom, and its shady to say the least, if not illegal.

    They probably want that $150 because it has been at the lot for a certain amount of time. When i totaled my jeep they wanted money for me to get it but my insurance straightened it out and the other driver had to pay all of those fees

    Glad your alright man

    Damn sorry to hear about the loss of your car man. Glad it was an audi you were in otherwise you might have been worse off.

    I know exactly how it feels, i lost my first audi to some 31 year old idiot woman driver last month. I'm still waiting on all the insurance bullshit to get worked out, still haven't gotten my money for my totalled avant. But i was able to find another awesome avant that was a major upgrade from the last one.

    So just rest assured that when all this is over and done, you will be behind the wheel of a much nicer audi.

    You don't need a title to see your car. Not only do you have a key that fits the car, your registration and proof of insurance match your driver's license. Seems easy enough to prove who owns the thing. The $150 may be a towing charge that they want you to pay since the insurance company hasn't done it yet.

    Re: sad night for the A4.

    It took weeks to get my checks. The first was for the basic claim, the second for the additional monies owed after an independent appraisal raised it a couple grand, and the third for my deductible after paperwork was processed that showed it wasn't my fault.

    Do you have rental car coverage through your insurance company? Mine covered a basic rental for 10 days but allowed me to upgrade out of pocket. I paid about 3 bucks a day for a car that the family could actually fit in.

    Re: sad night for the A4.

    i think the only way to learn how to play with insurance companies is to go through a totaled car once early on in life. after that, you'll know what to do and not to do and hopefully never have to go through it again. but it sure did teach me something about being assertive and proactive when it comes to other people deciding how much my time and assets are worth.

    Re: sad night for the A4.

    Absolutely. My insurance guy was incompetent via email and pathetic over the phone. I went to his office with a list of my concerns and went through them all. Basically, I had to sit there and keep asking what he can for for each one and how things will proceed. After that meeting I had an agenda and a list of what should happen. That was really key to the process otherwise I wouldn't have known that an independent appraisal could be done at their expense. If anything didn't match my list I got ahold of Tad and asked why and what was to be done about it. The end result is that I got an extra couple grand out of babysitting the guy that enjoys my renewal commissions.

    Re: sad night for the A4.

    Damn.. To think I live no more than 3-4 miles from there. I guess I'm not going through Oak Forest anymore .. Sorry about the loss of your car! Most importantly though, get well!
