As my dad always used to say, "Your premiums just pay for your ticket to the fight (in court)."

What kind of a lame policy is that??? It actually specifies that it doesn't cover injuries sustained in car accidents???

*sigh* oh well. I guess it would have been too much to ask for my local tax office people to actually know ANYTHING, right? :-( eta: do you think I'd have any luck trying to get the VIN changed on the title now, or should I attempt some "minor surgery" on the vehicle? *cough*

Except legally, I don't think it is. If they don't cover trucks with a GVW over 10k pounds, but they sell you insurance on your truck anyways, and you get in a wreck, I think they would actually have grounds to not pay... Ask them this question point blank and get everything in writing. I...

The SF97 has the whole thing as the VIN. 04m5527053913775 The insurance company wanted a copy of my title to verify the VIN. They're cool with a copy of the title reciept for now, but they'll want a copy of the actual title as soon as I get it. And I can't recall now, but I think the SF97 has...

I have two M35A2 trucks, Carnac Deuce #1: Stock# 23200771616 ID# 04M55271 VIN# 053913775 Location: San Antonio, Fort Sam Bumpers: Black spray paint. Deuce #2: Stock# 23200771616 ID# 04L72571 VIN# 053913551 Location: San Antonio, Fort Sam Bumpers: Black spray paint. Thanks very much...

Well, I got my plate today. I should get my title in 20 business days. As far as the VIN cert goes... well, I didn't do anything like that. Nor did the lady in the office do anything like that either, I don't think. Do you think this is going to be a problem? Now I'm worried I gave an...

Progressive won't insure military vehicles. And they won't insure anything over a certain weight as a private vehicle. I think it's 12k (at least here in Texas) where they refer you to their commercial vehicle insurance. Regarding USAA, I talked to them a few months back about insuring my...

Yep, we got the deuce loaded without too much difficulty. The rear axles acted like the parking brake was on, tho. So we unbolted the drive shaft (piece of cake) on one end and secured it with rope for transport, rod pushed the deuce into position, and the guys with the trailer winched it...

Look at the picture on the link keith posted. Er, that link doesn't work but do a search for clogged fuel system and you'll find that thread. The picture is on the last post of the first page. To me, it seems like I'm going to have to take that cover off of the IP plunger before I know if...

Well, I'm no expert and I never served, but I seem to recall reading about US Forces painting a white star on their vehicles during the Korean War...

keith is the OD Ubermensch.:beer: Even sickness and infection is no match for his truck diagnosing and fixing skills. Yep, I think we're going to be able to get it recovered tomorrow. Thanks to keith, we know it's not an IP problem, thank goodness.

I hope so. Thanks for the info, I'll remember that for next time. I guess I've potentially screwed myself by trying to be the eager beaver and signing it off real quick like when I didn't have to. *grabs another beer*

Yep. It was actually a nice day to pick up a deuce today, too. I don't think it got over 71F the entire time. My beer freezer certainly isn't cyling very much with the outside temp at 68F, either. ;-)

Nope, but it;s two nice crumples inward about the size of baseballs. There's some scratches and gouges on the bumper too. My sherlockian powers of observation lead me to believe they rammed it head on with a forklift and the forks crunched in the oil pan. auarofl mmmm... home brew...

40k? If they auction off 350 trucks EVERY WEEK for the next 2 years, they could do that. I don't think they have the space for 350 trucks. That just ain't gonna work, when you consider the long time frame govliq HQ is taking just to send EUCs out to battle creek. eta: The wild rumor I...

Heck, they don't let you register or title a vehicle here without having insurance on it FIRST. And we still have something like 50% or 60% uninsured motorists.

Yes, Beeville. And yes, I am getting this deuce come hell or high water. Yes, I signed for it and left without it. The EUC came back only yesterday after 5 PM, so I was under the impression that I had 14 days per govliq's policy to retrieve it. HOWEVER, when I talked to Chester, I told...
