Last Friday I rear ended a Dodge pickup with my Mustang. This is the first time I have been in an accident that was my fault in the almost 20 years I have been driving. I'm fkn pissed that I wasn't paying enough attention when everyone stopped, but I am glad that I didn't hurt anyone or anything but my car and my pride. It barely moved his bumper at all, and didn't do any sheet-metal damage or bust any taillights or the tailgate.

 

The way it hit, his bumper pushed my hood in, bumper down and broke a headlight. The hood latch is stuck shut, so I haven't messed with it to get it open and look inside yet because I'm waiting on Progressive to send out their adjuster, but I can see that the radiator and radiator support framework is fuged too. I think that's about the extent of the damage, and I'm pretty confident that looks way worse than it actually is.

 

How do they determine when to total a vehicle? I've looked online and found that in Texas it has to reach 100% "actual cash value" for them to write it off. Apparently they can use whatever source for the value that they want, so just going off the averages from Kelly, NADA, and local listings, the value should be between $7.5k and $8.5k. That's stock value, I have a lot invested in aftermarket stuff but I honestly do not expect them to calculate for that. I can't see repairs costing more than $3-3.5k, I have already looked up the parts and those will be around $1k. $2-3000 for labor and paint maybe...

 

I had it towed to my house and it is in the garage, I didn't want it sitting on some random lot where I had no say in what happened to it in case they decide to get froggy. It they do call it a total loss, I either want to claim the salvage title, or worst case scenario take all of the bolt on poo I have put on it off before they try to take it. I am not really sure what my rights are and I'd really like to keep it if at all possible.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
