what did you do to your Sonic today?

[gijoefontaine]

Got a call yesterday from my insurance company. Augh. Turns out that my new car replacement ended on 29 oct which is legitimate its a 2 year policy.
So.
1 claim for vandalism opened while new car replacement was active. $3750
1 claim 4 days after the converage ended. Estimated at $4700 (thats insurance appraised, my body shop hasnt taken it apart yet) so it'll probably go up.
Black book on a 13 LT sedan is high side of $10800 canadian of course.
Aparently under new car insurance they will repair your car up to 90% of the car value. Not on new car they only repair if damage is under 70%.
Because the first claim wouldnt make an attempt on new car replacement. They dont care.
But with a second claim open, all unrepaired open claims get piked together and this second claim is what brings the repair cost up.

Turns out my file is now with the "write off team".

I may just lose my baby.

Installed spacers

Got to put on a set of Adaptec 25 mm wheel spacers this morning. Pretty easy install thanks to having a torque wrench.

i washed the car then air dried , today was the first day of nice weather since i picked up the car so i took her for a nice little rip . still breaking in the engine but it feels like there is more power every time i drive it . this may not be the fastest car on the market but i have no problem passing ppl. so much fun to drive

installed my weather tech floor mats . i also swapped out the stock hi and low beam headlight bulbs for sylvania silverstar ultra's . huge difference, much better for nightdriving outside the city.

Havent updated you all in a while. So my insurance wrore off the car. 2 claims on a 2013 fully loaded Sonic LT. Just under $14000 in damage. Tried to offer me $11345 settlement. We declined. Asked for $12800 proved its worth with comparisions. They declined. It went to arbitration hired a guy for FREE (the dealer who sold me my car actually) insurance hired a guy for $300 for their side. Settled at $12500. So what to do... no car and some cash in my pocket....

I did the logical thing...

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 SONIC LT SEDAN. Fully loaded sunroof, 17" rims, power everything, command start plus a set of winter tires on steel rims.

I am one happy cat

I took the Sonic to the Rally Of the Tall Pines, used it to create a roadblock to keep the roads safe and got it a little muddy!

New tires

Put on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. I've only driven like 30 miles in them (while pouring) and I'm already in love. I'll take pictures tomorrow when it's light out.

Absolutely love the new car. 17's, sunroof, power everything, heated seats and command start. It'll be a glorious winter.

Isn't that an LTZ then?

 

[gijoefontaine]

Yes but no is the answer. Its an LT with absolutely every option

Flashed mine with the diablosport BNR tune. Pulls really nice after 3.5k rmps. Doing the bypass tomorrow. Intake and porting manifold in the near future. Tons more I want to do after that.

Ok figured it out. Only difference i can find is that its cloth interior instead of that god awful leatherette (fake leather with the holes in it)

Yeah, I've got the LTZ and it has the "leather". The leather isn't bad, I would prefer the cloth cause it is more visually appealing.

I'd totally go for some nice good quality cloth seating with a tasteful pattern, like the GTI's... a thick cloth...like a good quality sofa material...

 

[gijoefontaine]

Damn. Thats nice

I like the cloth "wave" pattern better but the leather isn't too bad
