Default I wouldn't have reported it to insurance. The likely outcome is a chargable accident.

My experience is that it's best not to report accidents to your insurance unless it's absolutely necessary (big bucks involved). The company is likely to consider it a chargable accident and raise your rates or cancel your insurance.

A comprehensive claim, such as windshield damage, is a different matter as it usually doesn't go against your record. Unless you have frequent claims.

Default You're right ...

guilty! I am really kicking myself for both not having had the tires swapped over and for not being more cautious pulling out. Mindless on my part!

Default Those of us driving in snow/ice at 22 degrees for a high will try not to hate you:):) just kidding

have fun in the sun, I'm more of a four season kind of person anyway Quattro comes in handy in your downpour rains though I bet?

Default we have 4 seasons here..cool,warm, hot, and very hot and humid!

Quattro is great for rain/floods, driving through what is left of our roads after Hurricanes etc. I beleive snow and Ice are for Vacations and fun

I'd rather be cold with Audi roads then warm with Camaro roads

Can you please keep me updated on what has to be fixed on your car. I was ran out of the road and hit a curb going about 50. I had the wheel turned to the right
to avoid taking this lady out and she was the cause of it. But I of course noticed the fact that something was wrong when I was unable to open my door any longer,
hoping things where not bad I purchased two new tires and rims and tried to put them on only to take them back off because they where all in the fender well..
I do not have insurance. I will be having to eat these damages when it was someone else's fault...... anyways please help me figure out what I am going to face in the
day's to come.
