Anyone know a cheap car rental place? Had a car accident last night and my car is down for a couple weeks. $4,197.43 was the best quote I got and my insurance company doesn't want to cover a rental. So if it's not cheap I may not make it down.

Wow, that sucks! I assume you are OK?

4 grand for repairs!! You can get a fairly decent running truck and a commuter car sedan for two grand apiece, all day long.

It's a 2013 Focus not going to buy a new car for a while. The insurance company will cover it after my ridiculous deductible and haggling over the extent of repairs. They won't cut a check until next week so I'm on foot. After looking at rental cars my appearance at the gtg may not happen.

Did you get it new at a ferd dealer? If so, maybe..maybe...they might have something that could lend you as a loaner, or cheap rental until yours is fixed?
 
A wrecked 2013 Focus will probably be in better shape than half the vehicles on the road in Kentucky. :D

If the cross member that holds the ac condesor and radiator wasn't bent/ broke and dragging I'd drive it. But there's some crucial parts that were held up by bailing wire just to get the car to the shop.
 
Dang man !!:bang::bang:

I worded it a little differently :laugh:

If I remember correctly it amounted to "son of a bleep, you bleep bleep bleepity bleep blep. Why the bleep did this bleeping have to happen"

Lots of bleeping going on :bang:
 
The 2 star hotels on Priceline are pretty ok hotels. The murray plaza is plain Jane but the guys seemed to be good with it last year. Not a girl hotel :) Price is $64....could probably bid it cheap. Some did last year. But all hotels are I only about 8 miles from us. Just an FYI :)
 
Getting ready for this just got a bit more challenging. Last night I ordered both lower ball joints, both upper control arms with new ball joints and bushings, steering stabilizer, and four new shocks. I'll get the pittman arm locally. Obviously, it'll then need a front end alignment. I guess it's starting to show that it's 12 years old.

Yuk... Sounds like a General Motors project...

It needs a front end alignment. So, I was checking it out first. One torn lower boot and one slightly worn upper ball joint isn't too bad for a 12 year old truck with over-sized tires. Not much sense in doing just one of each though, so replacing them all. The only problem part is the Pittman arm. This is probably the forth one, but I'm sure it's aggravated by the 33" tires. The shocks are original, so again, not bad. It's really just general maintenance. It sets most of the time, so trends to get neglected.
 
Don't ask about those, he seems very sensitive on that subject. :poke:

Specially formulated for tiny Asian midgets.
