So Tuesday afternoon I was hungover was fug after New Years and I went to go get a bite to eat it was rainy outside and at a stop light my car hydroplaned as I was breaking and nudged the back of the car of the person in front of me. The only damage on her car was a tiny scratch that isn't even really noticeable. But apparently now she wants a whole new back bumper because of it. This is the first accident I've ever been at fault for so how much do you think my insurance will go up because of this?

Doesn't matter what she wants. It only matters what your insurance will pay for and if they think they can get away with a paint job...

...regardless, you did rear end her. A lot depends on how long you've been driving, how long you've been with your current insurance company, etc.

Basically you will now have a "1" in the rating system for at fault accidents. How much your rates go up will depend on your companies rating system which is based on lots of variables. One at fault accident may be offset by your good driving record. Some companies don't raise rates for 1 claim.

Or your rates may go up by 50%. It's so company specific that it is hard to give a number.

While there may have been no visible damage, bumpers usually have a piece of dense foam to absorb the impact. If this is damaged, which it is made to do, then it will need to be replaced. The next time they get hit they wont have that protection and the damage will be considerably more...

At least this is what was told to me when some jackleg ran into the back of my wife's car a few days ago....

Wait... Where did you say this happened??

      Im excited to see what Shemar Bartholomew shows in preseason. He didn't give up a single reception last season in preseason with the Jets. 4 teams put in waiver claims last season- we got him due to sucking and being at the top of the waiver wire, so there were a lot of teams interested. He played sparingly last season and didn't do anything really of note, but he has a full year now in the Evero system. Evero as noted is hesitant to play rookies, but now is the time to see what we have. We desperately need another CB to step up and prove they've earned a depth spot on the roster. Mike Jackson did very well all things considered, but upgrading CB should still be a priority

      I really thought this was a nice TC story and nothing more... But it sounds like Renfrow has a legit chance to not only make the roster but contribute. Honestly, this is one of the best WR groups we've ever had on paper going into TC. This group has a diverse skill set, and good mix of established veterans and younger players. Other than in 2008/2009 when we had Smitty & Moose as our starters (and both were established All Pros at this point), this is as good of a room as i can remember going into a season. Honestly, if you take Smitty out of the equation, our WR groups overall have been subpar for the most part throughout our history. I'm not crowning this group before they've proved it on the field, but it's hard to not be excited about this group relative to most years. I think McMillan, XL, Coker, Theilen, Horn, Renfrow, and JT Sanders is exponentially better than what Bryce had 2 years ago as a rookie (Chark, Mingo, TMJ, Theilen, Hurst).
