Good to hear otherwise.

Because if I wrap my car around something, I'd like to be sure that the insurance folk aren't just going to laugh at me when I try to make a claim...bright red shocks aren't exactly stealthy, or standard-looking! That's why, in the fuck. |
You're going to claim maintenance when you wreck your car? They going to reimburse you for half an oil change if you only have a couple thousand miles on it when you wreck? Lmao
Who cares if bright red shocks aren't conspicuous, the only reason suspension parts would matter to an insurance adjuster is if it was a bullshit setup and helped cause the accident. Otherwise you're just picking nits worrying about what insurance is aware of on your car.
Someone totaled my car in January. I told the adjuster the car had a turbo back exhaust, intake, intercooler and meth kit. They said they would pay me half what it cost new except the meth kit and to pull it off if I wanted. Before that they were unaware of any mods. Just not sure why you'd risk having your rates go up for a couple hundred dollars in maintenance parts. Want to insure an outrageous body kit, wheels, stereo, turbo kit? Okay I can somewhat see paying an elevated premium for that. But do you tell them when you switch from regular to synthetic oil or if you just did a coolant flush? 😂
