I appreciate it guys, you all have varying expertise, experiences and knowledgeable view points (except you Ken or if your name is Dave, then it needs to be vetted by 3 or more knowledgeable members here before we even consider it....)  :tongue:

I believe you're talking about the apostrophes (not commas) turning into question marks, right JR?

DOT incoming... I hit up Dawg about it a while back, but I don't think he's been around much. I looked into this a bit and it looks like the forum needs to be converted to UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin 1). This is techy speak for how the text is interpreted by the web browser.

Back on track and quick update, USAA had enterprise contact me for a rental today. Not sure what to make of that but I declined until Monday stating I was out of town on business. Technically I’m one town over wrenching on Baylee’s new ride at my shop this weekend and will pick up rental Monday. Didn’t have time to mess with it today but did send USAA another email explaining why I didn’t take them up on offer today.....

Apostrophe's, that's it!!!! I see it when you guys use tap-talk so sure it is a bug. Does it show that way on your phone or does it just get sent that way?

How about pics of the new XJ?

Don’t believe so, she wants to run 33’s so minimal lift and replace the sun faded fenders with flatty’s. Then gears and lockers depending when she saves up some funds.

Currently she is tooling around in the family beater aka my Dad's former car which is a 2010 Honda Insight hybrid, 450 miles to a 9 or 10 gallon tank but it sure is ugly! :tongue:

Just get it covered under your insurance (that's why you pay for it) and be done with it. Then let the companies battle it out. Not your fault so no points or rate hikes.

I understand its not what you want to do, but is it worth the bother?

Been there, done that.  No bump in my premiums, got a check for more than I expected to and had everything wrapped up in a couple weeks even though it happened on my travels home the weekend before Thanksgiving and basically nothing happened for the first week.

Well, they got rental straightened out but came back and made excuses why they could only use one comp. During all of this they now told me (even though the 98 I provided was similiar mileage and valued more than there offer) they can only use 2000 or 2001 comps.

Well, ok so I provided 4 new comps in those age ranges. Now mind you one of the prior comps was a 2001 but they disregarded it because get this. It was the same price as a 2002 model....

Jeep officially retired the xj model in 2001 so how can they have pricing for a 2002 model!

So we continue on.....

Picked up rental, USAA had a full size car reserved. Nice gal behind counter asked what happened & I told her. She offered up a Chevy equinox & I asked if USAA would pay for the upgrade? She commented they normally did but you need to let them know it was your descision. So as I waited for them to pull it up I shot them off another email informing them that I decided to rent it as it was closer to the vehicle they totaled..... :tongue:

As of last night I sent 4 more comps all of 2000 & 2001 xj’s locally for sale.

Today I realized an inoperable vehicle cannot reside longer than 60 hours without being moved per HOA guidelines. So I found a ahop that would store it for $100 a month plus deposit (going rate here on front range). Downside the guy who runs that place (goes by the name GLO) is a real piece of work... :facepalm:

Anyhow let USAA know they were on the hook for that too. This Chevy equinox rental sure does drive better than that xj.... :tongue:
