Cat In A Hat Should Be Flat !

[Ryan.R34]

Here is the story,

I parked my car in my garage, I closed the garage door and didn't take my car out for five days. When I opened the garage again a cat ran out and the place smelled of you could imagine. The car was locked up but I left the sunroof open a wee bit and the sucker got in and clawed my seats during the five days ( Can't beleive the sucker lived for 5 days no food or water ?!) I found the owner of the cat ( die cat die ) and she said she can't afford to pay for the repairs.

This is a little hard when she is paying a mortgage by herself and with two little ones ( Her Ex is an absolute asshat ). I am sort of stuck with my morals because i know she doing it tough and is a stand up classi chick ..but hell ! my interior which was perfect for a ten year old car is now a little shabby. There was not a mark on the seats before, they were new ! Can I claim on Insurance maybe ??? any ideas, she tells me she can pay me $20 a week but I can imagine that will die off over time.

Advice no flames plz

Or maybe some other sort of arrangement.......nudge nudge wink wink. LOL!

Im with 1C3B3RG, $20 a week = a special hug a week. haha do it son.

are all ur seats fked?? ie: front and rear? There was a guy selling front n rear 34 seats on the forum no so long ago for not very much...Insurance would probably cover it but the excess would probably be more than 2nd hand seats..

aww man i feel for ya thats a real pain in the ass...... but i would arrange weekly special survices with happy endings from her. bad joke sorry dude. hope u manage to sort something out.

good luck

[Ryan.R34]

Good on her but special cuddles with a whale is out of the question.

Actually thats pretty rude coming from me but yeah, sexual interaction would cost atleast 12 beers and some peer pressure before I would pass a move on this one.

teach the cat a lesson it will never forget. my cat used to walk all over my car during the night. it doesn't anymore.

hehe hug the owners brains out

post up pics of the damage. You could explain the situation to the insurance company and see how it goes? Bit hard, but you did the right thing by sticking to your morals (atleast if she was nice about it and explained properly rather than just an abrupt "i cant pay!! now f off!!")

[Col-GTSX]

ouch, this is one of those moments when you thought you had heard everything...

I feel really sorry for ya Ryan...

[Ryan.R34]

Yep, she knows how I am about my Cars, this is a good street with good neighbours thankfully, she just can't afford a full payout, so I am thinking insurance, anyone here in the insurance game ?

I am full comp and never made a claim after 17 years of driving and full comp insurance. A claim cost me $350 but I don't have rating 1 protection insurance ( that sh1t you never think you need for an extra $35 a year ).

any chance you could do a bit of a seating upgrade if your going thru insurance maybe get some reciepts for bride seats?

just a thought good luck

The thought crossed my mind but it all comes down to cash ! My car as good as it is, is not a GTR but a nice car all the same and I do not wont it to look something it isn't . even though it is only a Gtt I worked hard for her and paid cash on the day and took me a long time to find one this good. So yeah I have thought of it but I want to keep her as unmodified as possible. Big downer for me atm. Thanks for the input anyway bud.

Will get some pics going soon , the drivers seat the worst.

Yeah back seats have loops pulled thru from the suckers claws. I will take pics soon.

I freak when there is a spot on the paint work so you could imagine how I am... lol

[Oblivion]

man shit i am sorry to hear that, i would be tryin insurance first, then if that fails try to get some new seats...or maybe look at retrimming...though i hear that costs a bit.

you be the bad ass and sue her but she sounds like a nice neighbour so prob not a good idea.

Get revenge by clawing the cat with a claw hammer

[Owgasm]
