Larry, I¹m sincerely very happy for you and 2511. But you¹re the lucky one. My sister married a State Farm agent in the 80¹s so our family moved all of our insurance to State Farm. That included four houses/households, can¹t remember how many cars, a boat, and a bunch of life policies and umbrellas. After paying relatively high premiums (no tickets) for seven years and never making a single claim for anything, I got a notice saying they would not renew the policy on my Pantera, explaining only that they wouldn¹t insure Panteras anymore. That was obviously not true, and despite the family connection and all the business, and no claims, sure as heck they dropped it. State Farm was not my good neighbor. Fortunately, I was in the Air Force Reserve and simply moved everything to USAA (and American Collectors who is affiliated with USAA). My premiums dropped by more than half. In the end you and I had vastly different but good experiences. I¹ll just never understand what happened Richard Austin, TX 7080 From: DeTomaso <detomaso-bounces@server.detomasolist.com> on behalf of Larry Finch via DeTomaso <detomaso@server.detomasolist.com> Reply-To: Larry Finch <fresnofinches@aol.com> Date: Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 21:00 To: Email List Address For Posting <detomaso@server.detomasolist.com> Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] 2511 and State Farm Yes Tom, many months have passed. The accident was last August on the way to Monterey. It took quite a while for me to find and decide on selecting Denny Finn to do the repairs. 2511 went up to Denny in February. Locating all the needed repair pieces was not an easy task. Denny placed 2511 on his frame machine to determine the extent of damage and to get an estimate on time needed to pull things back as much as possible. He has already drilled out hundreds of spot welds on the front clip I located and those components are ready to be transferred to 2511. We spent many weeks fine-tuning the estimate in hopes that we would not cross the somewhat invisible line leading to a total loss. The estimate was submitted last Tuesday. So the delay has come from me. State Farm stepped up quite quickly and I'm once again reminded why I continue to choose them to provide all of my insurance needs. When the shit hits the fan and the performance of your insurance company is put to the test, I've learned through the years that ..."like a good neighbor, State Farm is there."

Something we could use more of these days. Today I was informed the estimate submitted by Denny Finn for the repairs to 2511 has been accepted by State Farm. This means I have avoided a total loss declaration for 2511 and repairs can begin in the very near future. Denny assures me that the repairs will be finished before the end of this year. I am one very happy guy tonight. :-) Larry Sent from me using a magic, handheld electronic gizmo. _______________________________________________ Detomaso Forum NO LONGER Managed by POCA Posted emails must not exceed 1.5 Megabytes DeTomaso mailing list [5]DeTomaso@server.detomasolist.com [6]http://server.detomasolist.com/mailman/listinfo/detomaso To manage your subscription (change email address, unsubscribe, etc.) use the links above.
