foxmulder Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Anyone see the idiot on tv with a BRAND NEW 2007 MERCEDES? He drove his NEW car into the water... How stupid can you be? A freaking brand new car and you act like a jackass. They then show him taking pictures for "insurance" purposes...I hope they don't give him a dime.

Probably why he drove it into the water.... for the insurance, after he realized what a lousy deal he got on it. I heard he almost didn't make it out.

houstonmacbro Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i've heard that flood damage (to cars) is the ONE SURE WAY to get a payout and get the car declared a 'total loss'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i've heard that flood damage (to cars) is the ONE SURE WAY to get a payout and get the car declared a 'total loss'.He should not get any insurance money for sheer stupidity :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyps Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yup. a bunch of us watched a moron in a pickup truck drive right into 4 ft of water at Studewood, and then calmly get out and wait for the wrecker to come get it out. it looked suspicios, but maybe people really are that dumb? We watched as a second car came right up to the edge, got on the curb, nudged forward, and then though better of it, FINALLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so hilarious, because I saw almost the exact same scene play out LIVE during Tropical Storm Allison. I spent the night on the second floor of Katz's Deli, watching cars drive into the water. Most figured it out before it was too late, especially when their were people yelling at them from the windows of Katz's and waving from the sides at them to STOP. GO BACK. But this idiot in a brand new Mercedes kept right on driving, until his car stalled right in front of all of us. Got out swearing a blue streak. Karma, baby.

DaTrain Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) I hope his insurance company saw this report. "You got a new Benz two months ago, AND U WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO DRIVE INTO THE WATER??? I got your game, Mistah. The pics don't mean s*** to us because of ppl like U premiums go up." And here comes the announcement: INSURANCE MONEY DENIED!!!! **stamps DENIED red stamp on claim** :lol: Edited October 18, 2006 by DaTrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to make sure the engine is running and water gets into the engine and sensative engine components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Have to make sure the engine is running and water gets into the engine and sensative engine components Horse boogers! If the electronics and associated switchgear gets wet, then its more than likely enough to total it, engine running or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
