I have a friend of the family living in very small town in Texas. The biggest thing they have over their is a wal-mart that is about 25 years old. It is a farming town.



Anyways...She was driving her Expedition through one of the neighborhoods and gets t-boned by a Nun that just ran a stop sign. The SUV was pushed into the lawn of a nearby house with alot of damage to the side that she was hit.



The funny part is that for some strange reason Nuns and Priests do not have car insurance. I dont know why this is but its true. So they had to have the money sent from the Bishop in San Antonio.



Well she take the Expedition to the only shop in town to have it fixed with the money she had recieved. The Next day she reads in the paper that the shop burned down with her car in it. Once again the owner did not have insurance.



Since it is a small town she is friends with the mechanic and doesnt want to sue him. However she only had a couple more payments before the car can be paid off. And!! She cant afford another car.



What would you do in her situation? Remember....Their are less then 10k people in this town with only one mechanic.

Sue the mech!!!

that mech. better do something for her...

Sue the mechanic, no doubt.



I mean, what other options do you have? It's their own fault for not having insurance! They should pay up!

Was her car fully insured?

It doesnt matter. It was her fault and insurance cant cover damage done by someone elses fault in this situation. She already tried that.

Naturally that's the first thing one would do in a situation like that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Haha...I just read what I wrote and it makes no sense whatsoever. I am way too tired. I am going to bed https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...closedeyes.gif

Nah I just meant, wouldn't that be the first thing she would try to do? Get her insurance to cover the damage? You know what I mean...I just assumed that's what she would and since insurance won't cover it, she's exploring other options.

How the hell was it her fault Joe?

thats what im confused about



its her fault that she was hit? or ... its her fault that the shop burned down?



i think its NOT her fault

Yeah....I have no Idea why I wrote that. I was way too tired last night. But I do remember why she is not going to sue him.



Even though you take someone to court and win it doesnt mean that you are going to get the money awarded to you. The mechanic wasn't able to afford insurance and wouldnt be able to afford to pay for her car.

If he's a mechanic, he probably has a couple cars here and there that probably run ok, unless they got burned up too. Man, that sucks.

i live in a town with less than 10k in and we have 2 mechanic shops that are huge

I would move somewhere else

arent nuns and such supposed to be all godly and junk and follow all the rules???

if god cant help a couple of nuns avoid accidents we are all fucked





like the pope in his popemobile, what hope is there for us?
