Remember my post about the appraisal on my GTS the other day? I just sent a copy of that to my insurance carrier. Here's an interesting turn of events.
At Viper Alley, we were joking about my car catching on fire since it appraised for a bit more than it's worth. It was mentioned that some have caught fire with power steering caps coming off. I had never heard of that, but it made me think to check mine sometime.
So I took the car out today, and washed it when I got home. Because water goes through those holes I raised the hood to dry it. And what did I see ... or better yet, what did I NOT see?
A power steering cap! Completely Gone. Nowhere to be found. Imagine if it would have caught on fire. I got an appraisal done Thursday, sent it to my insurance, and was joking about it on VA.
That would have been a fun one to explain!
Other than getting a cap from a Dodge dealer, and having the same thing happen again, what have others done to fix this? Because I was joking about it, I'm even more worried now. Murphy's Law plays a big role in my life!
