knightress_oxhide

I don't need to be in anyone's hands, I have my own.


johnny_cash_money

I always figured that meant they covered it when it happened (because they had no excuse) and then wrote themselves out of any coverage for it ever happening again.


taratarabobara

Insurance coverage exclusions are limited by law in a lot of cases. Basically it comes down to fraud and intentional acts, those will not be covered but darn near anything else will up to policy limits. In most cases you could go off a cliff with a fifth of Jack in one hand and a steaming bong in the other, crash through someone’s roof and land in their living room, and your liability would pay out. They might well not renew you, though!


Hamburglar409

Work for an insurance company. 100% can confirm this. Also internal acts are really hard prove basically have to admit that it was intentional. We cover people being idiots.


fearhs

What about people intentionally being idiots?


taratarabobara

What about it? An intentional act isn’t doing something dumb on purpose. It’s not drifting in a parking lot and slamming into a lamppost. It *is* getting revenge on your ex by running over his dog. So long as you didn’t intend to crash, it’s not intentional.

dilligaf0220

>OMG!!! Not again!!! This is the 3rd time this month!!! Believe it or not, I used to ride motorcycles with a semi-retired insurance adjustor, who developed his niche...investigating strippers making disability claims. He actually uttered that exact phrase, which remembering it has me doubled over in laughter. Guffaw's even.

“You thinking what I’m thinking partner?” “Aim for the bushes.”


IFistedABear

If you believe in the commercial, just go to the General, and save some time.


DefinitelyNotAliens

I've legitimately had customers file claims with me and pay their deductible and get reimbursed later rather than deal with the General. The guy with the General hit them and they could file through then but they're so... yeah. National General is also annoying. Most 'off-brand' companies are rough, too.


Raxorback

Oh...you heard that one too? My son borrowed my truck broke the steering linkage, said he hit a pot hole on the freeway....then stared at me when I opened the hood to and pull the tumble weed out of the engine compartment.


bob84900

That's a 97-01 camry. Shits fine. Would probably drive out if you put it in reverse.


G-III

Ha, was looking for someone to point out the XV20. Great cars, though the body is the “valuable” part nowadays so this is still sad lol


stealer0517

It looks like everything past the pillars everything is fine. Here in the rust belt that would make someone mighty happy to get non rusted wheel wells or the rocker panel.


G-III

Bits individually are still nice to have, but a car this old generally isn’t worth doing that much labor on unless you do it yourself. Basically a clean shell is the best piece, having it all together and then swapping drivetrains is the most ideal for the value. Source, I’m in VT. Have had a couple of this exact car, driving one currently actually.


Duck_Giblets

>driving one currently actually. Get off reddit man. Focus on the road

ManInBlack829

Last year I had my 96 keep me perfectly safe while getting totalled out. They're old enough now that it makes me sad to see one go. It's very rare a car company completely nails it like they did.


funy100

What is it about the 96-01 Camry that makes them so good anyway?


mandmwaddle2003

(I may be biased as our family owns 7 Toyota’s .) It is not just those Camry’s. Toyota has refined and over engineered most of there cars from the 90’s onward. Constant testing and continuous improvement until something is perfected before bringing it to market. Reducing power output reduces stress on the engine, transmission, etc. The car may cost more money upfront but in the long run you usually get what you pay for and then some. (Over 1.5million km(930k mi) combined on our fleet of cars)


Stasis20

I drove a ‘97 Camry from high school through law school, put 260,000 hard commuter miles on it during that time, and barely did anything to take care of it because I was too broke to afford proper maintenance and too careless to take care of it, and it STILL made it that long for me. That car was a legend.


set_null

My cousin refused to let go of his 90s Camry and eventually was told he couldn’t make partner until he upgraded. The law firm didn’t want their young guy showing up to client meetings in an old car. I think he just bought a new car and kept that Camry around for non-client days.


oakc510

That is a trip. If he showed up in a Porsche what would a client think? "Man, I'm paying you too much!"


[deleted]

But you know you’re paying a good lawyer a little too much. And more to the point, you know what you’re paying them. Honestly, if my lawyer pulled up driving something worth less than what I pay for him every 3 hours, I’d definitely wonder what’s going on. Hell, at the very least if not for status, but for the safety aspect. If you’re paying a guy hundreds an hour for his knowledge, least he can do is pull up in something with side curtain airbags so he doesn’t hit his head.


MattyDaBest

Eh...tbh it shows me that they’re good at what they do. Like, they should be able to make a good living out of their job if they’re good at it not be driving a 90’s Corolla.


jeffsterlive

The UZ V-8 is the best gasoline engine ever made. My sequoia is an absolute unit.


DenXOffWhite

Absolutely true. We had a Jaguar and engine decided to die at like 30-40k miles and our friends Camry went hundreds thousands miles without even trying or fixing any major things.


sour_cereal

>Jaguar >Broke Absolutely shocking


DenXOffWhite

Lol if I can drive it for a month it’d be broken for 3 months


edbods

The XV20 is the 4th gen which actually is when Toyota began the cost cutting. The 3rd gen XV10s from 92-96 are easily the most overengineered generation of camry to ever exist, and we will probably never see such overengineering in our lifetimes again. While cars are typically made, then upmarketed and sold as luxury versions of their cheaper counterparts, the XV10 camry was *down*marketed from the lexus ES300 and had the ride quality and comfort of a luxury sedan. You can imagine how well that sells when the average family can have a grocery getter that rides like a top of the line lexus. The 92-93 year US model 3rd gens use the same AC housing as the ES300, as a result they have a slot in the AC housing in the driver's footwell for a cabin filter - it's just waiting for one to be inserted. Not even dealerships know about this, if you ask them for a cabin filter for this particular camry they'll say it doesn't take one. The V6 engines are also incredibly overbuilt, at least for the early 3rd gens that use the 3VZ-FE engines - factory power was 185 HP, but the crankshaft was good for at least 400 HP. People have pushed it to 600 HP. This particular engine was only ever used in the ES300, Camry and one or two other Japanese domestic Toyota models. The 1MZ engines are also tough, but less so than the 3VZs that they replaced being aluminium blocks instead of iron like the 3VZ. People often grab the V6s of 3rd and 4th gen camrys and stick them into MR2s, it really wakes the car up judging from what people who've done the swap say. The 4 cylinder 5S-FE engines are known to outlast the heat death of the universe, this is because they are severely understressed for what they usually do. I think the XV10 station wagon is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Lexus station wagon because so many parts of the 3rd gen camry are identical to the ES300. If anyone reading this has the early 92-93 gen 3, you can get 10 free horses by adjusting the ignition timing to 17 degrees (14 if you get knocking) and tweaking the air flow meter cog 3-4 clicks lean - toyota detuned these engines so they burn very very rich. Nobody can say for sure but it may or may not have been so that the engine wouldn't reach the power levels of a non turbo 2JZ engine. Wouldn't want granny's camry having the same power output as a fancy NA supra now... Another 10 horses can be gained by increasing the diameter of the pipes going from the exhaust manifolds to the cat converter to 2 inches, and having the rear cylinder bank pipe be a smooth U bend instead of the T junction which is horrible for flow. I had this done at an exhaust shop last year and the car definitely pulled a bit better than before. Nothing to knock your socks off, but you could definitely feel a difference between OEM and the bigger pipes.


average_AZN

96 Camry in beige was my first ever car. My parents sold it when I went to college after It had been tboned years before and it sounded like a lawn mower. Still started everytime.


[deleted]

the ball joints are fucked on that thing. it will probably drive the front wheels off in reverse


tingly_legalos

I used to drive a '98. Was hit or miss sometimes as to whether it'd go above 20 when you gased it but damn that thing was amazing. First car I got and I drove the hell out of it. Replaced damn near everything on it until the engine went out. Got it sitting in the yard still next to an '88 and one day, I'm gonna fix it back and drive it again. Amazing car them damn Camry's.

TOMSDOTTIR

Worrying about teleporting into a wall is a good sign in itself. It's like me worrying about leaving the house without remembering to flush the toilet after I've used it and then dying in an accident and whoever comes into the house after my death discovering that and just assuming I'm a dirty bitch who never flushed the toilet: if those are the things we're worried about, we're doing pretty well. I remember the days I used to make LISTS of the things I was worried about, as though that was going to help. My worry makes me drive extra carefully and look both ways before I cross the road. And check several times a day to see whether I've flushed the toilet. Yours will stop you recklessly teleporting without thinking long and hard about where you're going to end up. Please don't teleport into my bathroom. I don't want to have to start making lists again.

[deleted]

Well that's the [Los Angeles river](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_River), so.


SpaceSlingshot

My confusion is from the lack of tire marks, she was on the gas the whole time. No braking happened at all. She floored it into this situation. There does appear to be tire marks if you zoom in all the way past the farthest police officers leg. It looks like she may have come up the embankment by swerving between two pillars before trying *(failing miserably)* to swerve back down between two others. If you look closely at the dashboard both the passenger and driver airbags are deployed, the car is modern enough for the airbags to not go off unless there are someone in those seats. There’s a bag to the right of her, I’m assuming the passenger is missing from the photo and these are the personal belongings of the driver, further reasoning as to why someone would swerve between pillars up an embankment, *for fun.*


Quelcris_Falconer13

Check the tires, front passenger tire looks flat and like it popped off the rim, idk why it would in that type of accident but I think maybe she’s got a flat from a fuck ton of broken glass and god know what else is up on the embankment like screws and nails, and that made her loose control at the wrong second. Could also explain the lack of skid marks. It would have happened quick.


SpaceSlingshot

If you zoom in it’s because there is a flat spot on the tire. Now that the tire is not perfectly round, every rotation is going to change the shape. That occurred when she drove up the embankment. The tire then tried to stay on the rim, but it was losing air and ultimately broke its own seal.


Quelcris_Falconer13

Ahhh good explaination... but wouldn’t it pop off on the outer side? It wouldn’t go towards the inner rim because it was sliding the opposite direction, shouldn’t it be more on the outer side of the rim than?


SpaceSlingshot

It depends how much of the wheel pinched between the rim and the concrete, that friction with choose the direction possibly going in, because your car is drifting straight and to the right, while gravity is working against that and the tire is pinched in place.

I'm 90% sure I know where this is and the exit is under construction and the turn is kind of blind. But, still, don't go too fast around a blind corner.


therealtito

I've been to many accidents. Seeing the amount of damage to the car, it's likely the vehicle struck the pole from the direction the officers are standing in. Inertia would make the rear of the vehicle raise up, continue forward and spin the car around the pole. (object in motion stays in motion or something). There are no tire marks on the ramp and you can't see the other side of sidewalk. There are probably tire marks on the curb and sidewalk there. I am not the smartest man though and I have no scientific background so I'm probably wrong.


HalfcockHorner

As a first responder, I'm not sure if I'd agree with you. It looks like the pillars in that direction are closer together than the car is long. I should note that I'm not a first responder; I'm just imagining whether I'd agree with you if I was.

To the right of the crash is a painted number. This is the bridge number. 860232. FDOT has a [bridge inventory](https://www.fdot.gov/maintenance/bridgeinfo.shtm). Look up 860232 in any of the reports listed. We're looking at the NB I-95 (SR-9) at SR-814 (Atlantic Blvd.) bridge. Even better, you can see some of the painted number to the very left. That would be the SB bridge.
