Not to be a jerk, but how do you own two businesses and work 80 hours a week and own 13 vehicles and can't afford to fix a s2000? You must be on the brink of going under because the most important part of a business is cash flow and the ability to pay your bills/employees. 13 vehicles yet no ability to throw 10k into fixing a car? You're a couple of bad months from being in trouble. In fact I'd venture a guess you might be in trouble now.

I suggest doing some reading. A great book on running a business is emyth revisited. Good luck

 

You clearly have never worked for yourself. Just because he owns two business doesn't make him a millionare. Also keep in mind his 13 vehicles might be work trucks etc.

 

Thanks for the guidance. Cant is relative... really its more of a dont want to and cant stand the memories in this car (my cherry) if you really want to know. I do appreciate your concern though, D!ck.

 

I just finished dealing with my S that was T-boned! I have state farm as did the guy who hit me! I talked to the shop that I chose 1st about the repairs/etc and they pretty much asked if I wanted the car totaled or not. It wasn't really that bad just body damage on the passenger side. I was able to have the shop replace all parts with new oem, insurance would only pay for a blend of the paint so I paid a little more out of pocket to have the full car painted and it was well worth it! I also took the time to have them install a low mileage motor, rollbar, and instead of getting a new soft top (old one has a small 1/2 inch hole from the collision) I bought a new mugen style hardtop! I had to fight and nickel and dime the insurance more than usual but I had an awful adjuster who was absolutely worthless! In the end I ended up only speaking to her supervisor who was really helpful and she told me there was almost 200 separate notes on the account (each time I called for whatever reason). All in all it took about 6 months to get my baby back! It is pretty much a new car and I had to pay a lot out of pocket but the majority of that will be paid with settlement money. I felt since the money came from the accident it was only fair to put it back into the car. Also, In Texas, I was entitled to a diminished value claim which compensates for the value I would lose if I were to sell the car due to the accident. I have no intention on selling the S, ever! I hope this helps you out, State Farm has been really good for the most part, and they didn't question any aftermarket parts especially with receipts! It should be noted that this was with another driver at fault, so that may change things a bit for you.

 

Um...wow.

 

that thing looks like it was a clean ride.

good luck fixing/selling her
