Morning all! Midweek is here.

Continuing notes from my caffeine deprivation experiment:
After 3 weeks of no caffeine, Saturday morning I had about 6 oz's of coffee. On the plus side I actually get the rush from caffeine again, if I choose to consume it. But interestingly enough, sleep quality immediately declines - my sleep that night, although longer than usual, left me feeling grainy eyed and unrested. Didn't have another cup after that.

Sleep has definitely improved as an average. Hitting Deep Sleep for 15-20% of the night on a regular basis, REM for about the same. While taking in coffee, I was pretty commonly under 10% for both. Even when 1 of those was high, the other would typically be low so that my average for both combined was about 20%, now it's a little over 30%.

TL;DR - nothing to see here people. Just the musings of a recovering caffaholic.

So... this FS price is pretty much spot on with my current Z value plus my build budget. Maybe I should just buy it :eekdance:

Sad news, my Z has been in an accident. I dont want to go into details but the insurance adjustor will be checking the car tomorrow. From these pictures do you guys think this will be totaled? I'm not sure if there are damages to the frame/internals.

To install the bushing. I use 1/2" all thread, about 10" long. Double nut the one end. 3 thick 1/2" washers on both ends. 2 pieces of 3/8" thick 4"x4" plate with a 1/2" hole in the center.

Put 3 washers on the double nut end of all thread, then 1 of the 4x4 squares. Put that though the hole and the bushing, from the rear. In the front. Now install the other 4x4 piece, then the 3 washers, and then the nut.

It should look like this. 1 nut, 3 washers, 4x4 plate, bushing, frame, 4x4 plate, 3 washers, double nut.

Put your wrench on the double nut, and another wrench on the front nut and start to tighten down. The wrench in the rear. You can leave it rest on the body when tightening. You don't have to hold it. The front nut. You may have to do what is called double wrenching. That's where you take one wrench and place the box end into the open end of the wrench the is on the nut. What you are doing is making the wrench longer for more torque.
I got lucky and found the sweet spot to lay that sawzall. I started from the front end, and wasnt sawing all the way through - I couldnt see half of the inside of the bushing. I was able to kinda twist/crouch/sit indian style from the back, and at about the 6 oclock position on the bushing, cut straight through. It took me just about 20 minutes..lol

I have a neighbor who saw me working yesterday and offered to loan me his motorcycle jack, that should work better than the floor jack, specially if Im working alone again. Ill have to visualize your setup. Its got to be better than how im attacking it atm...:tup:

That sucks!! As far as being totaled, it depends on the adjuster and your states guidelines. Your Z is newish so the damages may not exceed the damage requirements for being totaled, but dont be surprised if it is. Anyway, sorry for the loss!

airbags went off. they will most likely total it from what i've seen before.

could be different depending on the adjuster and insurance company each one is different.

I am okay.

Do you guys have any advice on getting the most amount of money back from insurance for the totaled car?

If you have a beater car, strap a 8×4 backed with thick foam onto its bumper and drive into the impacted side of the Z a couple times at ab 5 mph. Does the trick every time.

It depends on the state and who's at fault. If someone sideswiped you, then it will depend on insurance company and complete condition of the car, all the way down to paint & tires. :icon14: When my 2012 got totaled, the adjuster gave me credit for newish tires, and I lost a couple of bucks because of paint swirls. :icon14::icon14:

If the state says 'you must be made whole', that could include diminished value. Do some research on what your car is worth (before the accident) and then you will have a ballpark idea of value. Be ready to prove higher value in case the insurance company lowballs you.

From the reading I've done, it seems that some people are disproportionately affected by caffeine. I guess I'm one of them - bummer. Didn't start off that way. I used to have 3-4x 16 oz coffees per day and sleep just fine. I guess maybe 2 years ago was when I noticed that wasn't working so well any more.

madwi 04-10-2019 12:19 PM
It got chilly! Suppose to get a load of snow this weekend with freezing rain and ice. Just what I need right now.

I got other issues. LOL When I am at Zdayz I will not sleep worth a crap. It takes me 2 weeks of sleeping in the same place before I sleep good. I will sleep light as a feather otherwise. At home, The place could be blowing up and I wouldn't have a clue. Snoozing away.

One main thing to realize is that you never take their first offer... never..

Whatever they tell you, be polite and professional and tell them it is too low of an offer.

Once you play this game and reach an impasse, ask to speak to the adjusters manager.

Do some homework, have some facts and info to tell them and keep telling them that you can’t settle for their offered amount.

You have to play them. Their job is to settle with you for as low as possible of a number... :shakes head:
