• 3 Months and a Gay Later

  Three months ago, I had a car accident.  It was not my fault, and the girl who caused the accident had insurance that was supposed to pay for everything.  As of today, I still don’t have my car back!!  Listen to this message I got from Honda of Hollywood yesterday.  It’s basically the same message I’ve gotten from them the every week for two months:

  Does that really look like damage that would take 3 months to fix??  I don’t have time to go into the entire sordid story now, but I did want to post this to tell people NOT to patronize any of these companies, because all three of them have been negligent in dealing with this situation.  Had they totaled my car like they should have after the accident, I would have a new car by now.  But these greedy corporate bastards who bleed every cent they can out of innocent consumers, are cheap money grubbing whores who don’t deserve your business:

  

  AAA Insurance – My insurance company, who I will NOT be renewing with, as they have not been very helpful in fighting Safeco for rental reimbursement.

  
  Safeco Insurance – They stopped paying for my rental a month ago, even though their insured caused the accident.

   
  Honda of Hollywood – 3 months to fix that kind of damage??  Really??  Seriously??

  I’m including the links above, only to increase Google traffic to my site when people search for these companies and their customer service (i.e. Honda of Hollywood Customer Service).  To this day I get hits on my site all the time when people Google companies whose horrible customer service I have blogged about, like efax and United Airlines.

  It’s funny to think that back on March 26th, I wrote this and now, nearly three months later my wounds have healed but my car has not.

  3/26/08 – I
  still don’t have my car back and they’re telling me the repairs will
  take another month and $10,000.  Luckily, the girl who hit me’s
  insurance company is paying for everything.  I’m feeling much better
  from the accident, but my left hand and my right wrist are still
  bothering me, so I went to the doctor this afternoon.  Last year if
  you’ll recall, I fired my doctor for caving in to big money conglomerate medicine.  Luckily, I rarely get sick, so besides the occasional asthma problem or psoriasis flare-up,
  I’m pretty lucky.  When my insurance changed in January, I got a new
  primary care physician in the Cedars-Sinai group.  The doctor I ended
  up getting was this CRAZY old Jew, who is the most antagonistic person
  I’ve ever met.  When he walked in the room I was pretending to text,
  but had my camera phone ready and snapped this picture of him:

  

  On a separate note, this gay marriage thing has been quite a boon for the state of California.  As I stated last week however, I hope it doesn’t hurt the Democrats in November.  Though Jon Stewart summed the whole thing up excellently yesterday:
