wiffleball 4,649 Posted April 19, 2016 I can't do it today. My Mom had knee repalcement surgery yesterday so I am taking care of my Dad. The power has been out at their house since 9:00am yesterday. He is at my house and is hating life right now so until the power is on at his house I have to baby sit. Now tomorrow after work I will be in need of a beer or two or ten. Do me a favor and tell your dad I asked about him. He was one of my favorite old guys of all time. The guy can make me crack up without even saying a word. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert 1,096 Posted April 19, 2016 Bert you working downtown? Could always do lukes in the afternoon Yes sir. As long as the damn power comes back on today I am good with Lukes.

Djgb13 2,338 Posted April 19, 2016 In San Antonio a couple days ago they had hail the size of baseballs. Lots of people's cars were dented with the windows busted. Same for the house Windows. A lot of those were busted as well. I escaped just in time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 588 Posted April 20, 2016 Lone Star Get the cool puzzle to solve on the bottom.. And here comes round two of the storms.. It was hilarious this morning on the news, it warned people of the usual suspects, and also made the point not to buy a used car in the next month or so. They're all the flooded out cars, but we all know they won't be sold here, Louisiana and Oklahoma are about to get some good deals on some cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 588 Posted April 21, 2016 My plane departs at 2 so I'll prolly be heading to the airport shortly Neal: What's the flight situation? Del: Simple. There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak. Neal: I guess we'll find out soon enough. Del: Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you'd have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room. Neal: Are you saying I could be *stuck* in Houston? Del: I'm saying you *are* stuck in Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're wrong on so many levels. Totaled cars are flagged. Especially flooded ones. The majority will be flagged as such and sold for parts or crushed if the water line exceeded the dash or computer.

Houston is experiencing fresh water flooding. Rain is fresh water.

Just brain storming but like I said I have NO knowledge about the depreciation value or anything related to it I appraised a few thousand flooded vehicles after Katrina. Many brand new ones on car lots in eastern New Orleans where it flooded the worst. Not one dealership sold a newcar on a lot for any amount if money. Salt water destroyed those vehicles. The electrical systems were so damaged that theycouldnt. They would be liable for any future problems even if the buyer replaced all of the computers and electrical systems. The majority of new and used cars were destroyed. Cadillac was the first to do this. All of the other major car dealerships followed suit. They carry insurance just like you and Ido. And the insurance companies took a beating. Which is why ten years later that LA has the highest insurance rates in the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
