The _only_ time? How about when it would cost more to add collision to the car than what the car is worth? Did you read my explanation? Maybe, but you sure didn’t comprehend it… > [@JayS](#): > > … but come on… He bought more car than he could really afford, cut corners in other areas to make it fit his budget, and got fucked. Bought more of a car than he could afford? Cut corners? Did you read a anything I wrote? How did you make those assumptions from what I wrote or from anything he wrote in this thread? **Here let me help you out:** > [@JayS](#): > > 1. No collision, because it would be too expensive. No. How about: > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > When he got insurance, he weighed the **value** of the car against the **value** of the insurance and it wasn’t worth it. Where did you get _“too expensive”_ from? Seriously. Is there some hidden implication in what I wrote that even I don’t know about? > [@JayS](#): > > 1. Running summer only tires in Buffalo in January, because obviously snows weren’t part of his budget either. No. How about he was being a slacker and, > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Winter has been lame and it was nice all though December. Dumb reasoning, but too late to go back now. Where does it say _anywhere_ in this thread that he couldn’t budget snow tires? He was procrastinating. No sympathy for that here, but don’t make lame shit up like _“Oh he couldn’t afford it.”_ > [@JayS](#): > > … At this point it really doesn’t matter because there is no police report and no witnesses. I’m in total agreement with you there. In fact, as I put it in my first post: > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Big mistake, but lesson learned. It’s nothing personal man, but reading _comprehension_ is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I take the time to explain something and you take the time to read it a write a response. So when you make a response, and it’s obvious you didn’t get it the first time around (and come up with stupid shit like he can’t afford a $4k car when you have no clue about his personal finances) expect that I’m going to respond like I just have. Take what I write _literally_ not _liberally._ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cameras-on-the-290-accident-w-pics/23632)._
