If my insurance company didn't reimburse me, I'd be pissed.

wow.. i got shafted three times now, by insurances.. i hate insurance companies, they take all your money and never want to pay you.. skeemers.

I can tell you that Acura's immobilizer system is far from unbeatable, but holy shit... employees getting on iN at home for immobilizer codes is rediculous. it is traceable either way because the employee has to sign in and use their SSN to get the codes, among other ID techniques.


That was a good find though. +1

Is that why 6 versions of the Acura Integra are on the 10 most stolen car list for the past 5 years? ;)

i guess...you know considering that the integra doesn't have the immobilizer system. It's part of the reason Acura started to use transponder keys.

I knew no car was safe from theft if the thief wanted it bad enough but to read all of those stories about insurance companies not paying out is just sickening......

i dont know whos worse sometimes, the insurance companies or the thieves

I know on my last claim when my car had a small engine fire, they treated me like a criminal :(
