I haven’t used the term since retirement, but you and a couple of others have the “Napoleon syndrome” thing going on. The belief that you should be able to control others and things above your pay grade.

I totally get your thought process on the high deductible but it’s simply more gambling in a casino town, or anywhere else. I’ll explain how I got burned by having a $500 deductible until earlier this year. I mentioned previously that the geezer who hit my Challenger didn’t purchase insurance...

You do realize that’s a disingenuous comment without all the insurance variables, right? For example, a guy yesterday said he had a $1,000 deductible. Mine is $50 for comprehensive and $200 for collision. And I’m insuring an $83k purchase.

Nice to meet you, Jason. I should get to know you before I depart. As for why we’re still talking is because it’s a discussion board?

An alibi addition to that comment. My spouse said to pass along for me not to commit to your request to state I’ll never own another Jeep product, because she likes them. She’s taken an interest in reading this thread. Let’s hope that she doesn’t create an account and start participating in...

That’s a NO! I might get in a wreck and total my F350 and end up back in the predicament that the only thing left on dealerships lots to protect me against road hazards is another new Gladiator.

That was an incredible response. It explained a lot. Thank you! In turn, I’ll share my takeaway stuff. Until I ran across the term death wobble in here, it was never a part of my lexicon. But as you explained, it’s extremely rare, and if you’re unfortunate enough to experience it, the fault...

Goodbye? We should talk more about that. Do you realize that since I got the F350 nobody waves at me anymore? What’s the long-term psychological effects of that, especially as you age?

What am I getting accused of trying to sell? I traded my vehicle into a Ford dealer. The screenshot in the first post shows them trying to sell it. What’s been great about this thread is others have gotten to see how some of you behave here.

On a conciliatory note: How common is the death wobble issue? Is it a realistic fear if you maintain and never modify your vehicle? Are certain vehicles more prone than others? Seems that I recall a snide remark one of the titans in the auto industry made not long ago in a news article. He...

Some of us are more memorable than others. ?

I’ll similarly apologize if I’ve engaged in any behavior that offended any of you. And I’ll leave it at that. It’s certainly true that I’ve gotten better educated on the death wobble issue, etc. So thanks to many of you for that gift.

For anyone else that’s tempted to intentionally get confused I’ll recap. My spouse hit the pothole(s) in Pittsburgh, PA. I was a passenger and made the phone call. More funnily, I didn’t even have a drivers license at the time due to medical issues. Because I made the phone call and reported...

You’re like the dude yesterday with the gang stuff. You just keep changing your tune after I call you out on your BS. Are we to believe that I just called USAA and said I need roadside assistance and hung up with no explanation as to why? I said my spouse hit a pothole. Get it? MY SPOUSE...

Google is your friend and spiritual advisor. I can’t spend my entire day arguing with guys like you. ”Since hitting a pothole is considered a single-vehicle accident, your insurer will usually deem you at fault for the incident unless there's evidence that another vehicle caused you to hit the...

USAA isn’t your friend, it’s a sham play to make money from those that served. The winter of 2014 in Pittsburgh my spouse cut two tires and broke one rim on a 2013 Subaru Impreza hitting water-filled potholes. The broken rim episode occurred at like 10 at night and the outside temperature was...

I’ve had two claims in the past year, so it’s unclear if that’s affecting my rates. Before the Gladiator, I had a Scat Pack Challenger. Some 77-year-old moron moving out who rented a 26,000 pound Penske truck and didn’t take the insurance backed into the front end and ripped the bumper...

I read not to touch the Colorado diesel. Something about having to remove the transmission at a certain mileage service point to replace a belt or timing chain. Sounded super stupid.

That two word response is the kind of lame response that men send me on Doublelist when I’m dating. ”Still interested?” They ask? No! I’m not. You’re a man of too few words, and I don’t have any interest in extracting them at a rate of one word, or one sentence at a time. Good luck in your...

ROFLMAO. As one of my favorite posters put it so succinctly: “parts bin.” Imagine spending $108k on the Grand Wagoneer after watching the commercial and getting that same “sh$tty feel” as the guy who spent $45,000.
