“Panel needs replacing on a car? Going through insurance will run it at $2200. Skipping all the paperwork going straight through me will be $1100. However, if you want it done on the weekend, cash in hand, let’s make it $800.”
Nah, had to move that car on a year ago. It was beautiful, fun and entirely impractical. I’ve now got a little zippy hatch. Compromised on the convertible by getting a sunroof, lol.
Cash economy is strong. I’m moderately sure my first few employers were paying me cash but not paying taxes/super etc. I was a clueless teenager getting cash envelopes and didn’t know better. I’m probably owed a couple hundred dollars in super from each of them.
I would love for this to happen honestly. I was quoted 2.5k to replace a panel a few years ago. Haven’t done it because the car is probably worth 5k and it’s still functioning okay ish.

Still got the big red boat? It was a fun looking car.

I used to borrow a housemates convertible. It was fun, I’m glad I drove one, I don’t want one.

I need to find that guy! Trying to get a replacement door for mine and they all want to go through insurance and charge bajillions.
I’m sure I can pass on the deets if you’re around the Moorabbin Airport area!
HELLO FRIEND YES I WOULD LIKE DEETS
hubs hit the pillar on the way out of the driveway and our nose needs some de-bumping
Afraid not but thanks
Sounds like medical care pricing in America.
It just made me go “and we wonder why insurance costs so much these days!”
