Lightning Stolen & Wrecked
I had first decided to not respond to any of this, since I have in the past occasionally offended a few, including Ray, and quickly aplogized for my mistakes with no ill effects. However, this has gone way beyond just a differing of opinions, or an attempt to make light of Ray's dealings with his insurance carrier. If all it will take to end this is an apology to Ray, then I extend that now, as I have already to our host. This is not the correct forum for the type of outbusts displayed by Ray, not only towards me, but anyone/everyone including our host who objected to his many, many subsequent responses. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that it doesn't matter what is said to Ray, if it differs from his opinion, it's wrong and he will tell you it's wrong as many ways/times it takes to make his point. If you would like to discuss this off the board, perhaps by e-mail (as suggested by others) I'll be more than happy to make my address known to you, Ray.

Asdeman,
I noticed your last question about ACV went un-answered.
I will give you some input from my personal experience. Yes, your accessories ARE reimbursable, providing the following:
1- They all were "bolt-on" or "installed" items.
2-You have receipts for all the items.
Now, the one key issue is that the insurance company WILL "de-value" each item due to "usage". Example: Bedliner, you paid $300, they will subtract 20-30% for usage and reimburse you $210-$240. So be prepared. There is a way to make sure you get "full value" on what you paid, but I think it would be un-ethical to post it...I think you can figure it out though
I wish you a "speedy" settlement.

Asdeman,
If you're interested in a red 2000 L send me an e-mail - I got a call from the dealer today to let me know that it would be ready for delivery within three weeks.
I ordered it last July thinking that I wouldn't be able to find a 99. Well to make a long story short, I did eventually find a 99 and I cancelled the order for the 2000 (or so I thought). Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you the salesman's name and phone number (otherwise he's going to release it). The dealership is in Michigan so it would involve some travel.
