The deer at costco are d!cks. Tagging up buildings, sellin' drugs, ramming people, messing up cars. It's quite the problem.
Sucks though! Insurance gonna cover it?

I had to deal with liberty mutual when I totaled my 98 4R (I wasn't at fault) & I think I'd rather suffer the loss than deal with that company again. NEVER AGAIN.

There was damage to the top and inside tears on the leather it sucks, I didn't even let my kids eat in there. It had less than 2,000 miles on it.

Were you in Georgia when this happened? If you don't me asking, who was your agent? That's in my husband's zone and they do strive to be the best. Just curious...

I went back to the store that night and some Costco workers followed the blood trail (gross) and found the buck suffering This is in a very large commercial development. Brentwood police had to put him down. He was trying to text me pictures

I just know ill never be a customer of them. My tailgate got screwed up on the top of my car port and nationwide is replacing the whole tailgate at a price of $1,679.59 no ?'s asked. Been with them since 1999. ( I've been on the policy since I was 16) and they always are on my side.
One question about LM, what's the whole deal with that one model year newer thing?

I asked my husband. He said if you total your car you will get a one year newer car with 10,000 less miles (or the value). Does that sense? Sorry I'm not into insurance!
