New to LS forum

[loveLSE]

Hello, fellow LS owners.
I just became aware of this forum.
Had I known this place, it would have saved me tons of stress.
I have 02 LSE. I went into to dealership and saw the LSE in the showroom. thought it looked tight over LS. I actually drove it out of the showroom.
I got eibach for 1-inch drop (scratching like crazy but now being careful on speedbumps and down/up hills), got wood shifter, angel eye kit but couldnt open the headlight assembly (now I know how after reading soem posts) so I used the angel kit on my round foglights. It looks alright. got pulled over by seattle PD for having it (got off with warning), recently got KKM air cone. Im thinking of getting CCFL angel eye.

Ooh, I ran a red light (fell asleep) t-boned a jetta. my LSE had $1000 damage (had to replace bumper, headlights,...) Jetta had $12,000 damage.
That jetta did a 360, poped all 4 tired, bent axle. man... but not much damage to mine. I felt very protected. Im paying for it though. Got kicked out of insurance, paying about $2000 a year (twice as what I was paying)

Anway, Hope to get to know all of you.
This is officially my favorite site.

LoveLSE

Well... I was kinda wondering how well this car would hold up in a crash compaired to my Merq Grand Marquis. Sounds like it does fairly well at destroying imports. I'm a happy guy! Glad to hear you're still with us!

Wow you got a great deal considering that the headlight assembly alone is $600.
I know about high insurances too because i am a road hazard teen driver.

Ya well.. thats nice and dandy. lol. try getting car insurance with a dui 3 or 4 years ago. At first they will laugh pretty hard... And then some chuckles... then thats when they go in for the kill.. and being single divorced .. i tell you what i think insurance companies love guys like me when it comes to cars like this. lol.. but i did find a loop hole that i tend to use a lot.... that saved me about 5000 a year in car insurance..lol

SAVED you $5k a year? Holy Cow!

I pay about $1100 a year for full coverage Auto Insurance on 2 cars.....

 

[jdsimons]

YA WISH I COULD SAY I WAS exagerating but i'm not. before i purchased the car i had called an insurance company who's mascot is a lizard..lol.. quoted a price for 5500 a year. told em their crazy and politely as possibly.lol..

Unbelievable. I cant imagint Auto insurance costing so much. I ahve a friend who had a DUI a few years aog and she still only has to pay aroun $700 a year for liability.

 

[jdsimons]

well i think some of the factors that contribute to this is the equation that insurance company's use. hmm can't remember exactly how it goes but something like.
cost= 4 x (girls cost, if male of course) x 10 (if dui in past 10 years) x 6 (has been known to play car tag when younger and gettin busted, lol) x 4 (if divorced), don't ask me why being divorced does anything but thats what the guy said.. lol

 

[cdixon]

thats not too bad considering full coverage on a 04 Suzuki GSXR1000 costs me about 4000 a year (the bike was around 8K new)

The Divorce rate multiplier is probably based on their experience with ex's destroying the other's car, and their payout on comp claims...
