Where is the safest place for a car seat in the back of a car?
Which side of the car would generally be considered the safest to place a child car seat on the back bench seat (passenger side or driver)??
I already have a car seat in the middle.
car repair cost is pretty close to ACV – options?
had a storm come through last week and drop a tree on my truck
2002 ford f150 supercrew, all the extras…
ACV came back as 590
myself and the adjuster assumed it’d be totaled at first glance, the tree didnt hit the hood/engine, but did significant body damage. cab, both drive side doors, back bench seat, bed, bed cover, bed liner are all destroyed.
a few days later, when receiving the ACV after the adjuster came out, hes talking about getting it repaired. i asked what his estimates were, and hes alotting 00 to repair costs.
8000/12590 = 63.5% repair cost to value
this is based on his initial estimate, the truck is still sitting at my place waiting to be towed. i was leaning more towards having the truck totaled as it will never be the same as before the storm.
now the next step is to have it taken to a shop of my choosing to get it inspected further. find all the damage, reasess the numbers. of course the insurance place has their own contractual shops that they recommend, my questions are as follows:
-am i better off finding an independent shop to inspect and possibly do the repair work?
an independent shop will have market rates for labor and part costs. im guessing the insurance co will find the replacement body peices and let the shop do the work. an independent shop is not backed by the insurance co so time is a factor, and there may be no warranty on work done.
-if i take it to the insurance co recommended place, they have discounted rates that may get it repaired and saving the insurance co some money, but im left with a truck thats going to have ongoing problems.
-i want this thing totaled, should i send it to an independent place?
-if i take it to the recommended place and they deem it repairable, can i negotiate the ACV with the adjuster? instead of them paying out 12590, say knock off 1500 and give me 11090, they keep the truck…
-or say i take a bunch of stuff off the truck to devalue it when they haul it away…drop the total ACV, so the repair % will be higher.
any input is appreciated, thanks

Where can I buy seatcovers? How can I clean the seats?
My husband has an 04 F-150. It’s been scotch guarded b4. Everything, even water stains the seats. The problem is that I can’t find a seat cover for a bench seat with the console. I contacted Oreilly’s and they can’t even order me one. Does anyone know where I can possibly get some? Also what is a good cleaner or something to try to clean the seats? Thanks so much!

What model of car is this?
Driving around in the summer I see these old, I want to say 80′s, SUV’s 2 door with the back off. Its like a topper off a truck. Was this feature only on certain models? all models? Like the front 2 seats are covered but the back bench seat is open. What kind of suv is this? is there any kind of special name they could be under if i want to find one on car-soup or auto-trader?

My Toyota Corolla ’01 Seat latch? (stupid…)?
Im trying to put some seat covers for the back bench seat BUT (ehmm) I cannot figure out how to move the seat forward. This car is fairly frustrating when you try to do things to it. Well?
