- Good points, but honestly, even with extra coverage, dealing with insurance can still be a headache.
- Had a minor scrape last year—barely noticeable—but the sensors went nuts. Dealer quoted me something ridiculous like $2k just to recalibrate everything.
- Makes me wonder if we're driving cars or spaceships these days...
- Glad it worked out for you though; sounds like your insurer handled it better than mine did.
I can definitely relate to the frustration with sensors. Had a similar issue last winter—just a tiny bump backing into a snowbank, and suddenly my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. The dealer's quote was eye-watering, too. Makes me wonder if manufacturers are overcomplicating things or if it's genuinely necessary for safety. Glad your insurance handled things smoothly though; finding a responsive insurer feels like winning the lottery these days.
- Totally get the frustration with sensors, but honestly, they've saved me a couple times from backing into stuff I couldn't see.
- Yeah, repairs can be ridiculous, but I'd rather deal with occasional sensor drama than risk missing something important behind me.
- Dealers definitely inflate prices though—found a local mechanic who sorted mine for half the quote.
- Glad insurance stepped up for you; mine usually just finds creative ways to dodge paying...
"Glad insurance stepped up for you; mine usually just finds creative ways to dodge paying..."
Yeah, I feel that. Just bought my first policy and honestly, figuring out coverage was like decoding hieroglyphics. Thought I'd save by going bare minimum, but a friend warned me about how easily you can get screwed if something actually happens. Ended up bumping it slightly above state minimum—cost a bit more, but at least now I won't lose sleep worrying about some loophole leaving me broke...
Smart move bumping above minimum. I've been restoring classics for years, and trust me, insurance fine print is no joke—seen too many buddies get burned by loopholes. Paying a bit extra now beats the stress of fighting claims later. Good call doing your homework upfront; peace of mind is worth every penny.
