Just remember every dollar you claim on insurance they add all that up, you will wind up paying it back overtime with extended interest, so fussing about diminished value is a great way to have high rates, even if you change carriers it doesn't matter they all share these numbers so your new insurance company will know all about you from your last one and you will just pay another name the high prices. I work in the insurance industry as a phone jockey, it cracks me up the crap people want their insurance to pay for, yeah they wind up repaying it, it's not worth the fight at all. Maybe those soft rich bois can get their corp welfare but for the regular working man there ain't no winning with insurance.

When was this video made? "with the car market these days a wrecked vehicle is almost worth as much as..." not anymore. The used car market is crashing, no one has any money. Specially trucks, dealer lots are full to the brim and they are discounting like crazy to try and move them. Up here, Ram is offering $32K off an $80K truck with 0% financing for 7 yrs and they're still not moving. I just checked, a base C8 is $90K cdn which is $30K USD (lol just kidding, it's not THAT bad) but still, $27K USD = about $37K CDN and if you have $20K in parts and labour, it's about half price which is pretty good. V tuned on youtube recently re-built one......

Couple things: 1. Am I the only one that tries to guess the backstory on the cars he fixes on this channel? (I wonder if this c8 was wrecked by the crazy girlfriend that Keyed it?) 2. Vehcor should make a series out of “would you buy it?” Showing the car at auction and let us comment whether or not we’d buy it while you explain if you would or not..

if the windshield is too dark it can be dangerous but i've actually found out after tinting mine that is actually SAFER. it cuts down on the glare of oncoming vehicles at night as well as during the day all those blinding reflections from the sun aren't a problem. it keeps the car much cooler inside and also gives more privacy. I wouldn't go darker than 35% unless it's a car that is only driven during the day. And no, I don't want to wear sun glasses xD
