Do you think the owner of the red Corvette was covered by insurance or had to pay for Walter's damage out of pocket?

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!
Perfect__Timing@reddit
Depends on the options.
bolshiabarmalay@reddit
this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't left a friend in the alps.
DavisCB@reddit
I think Larry had enough money to pay for the damages. Probably too young to fully understand how the insurance process works. Shouldn't have fucked a stranger in the ass, don't know what to tell him.
freeway_gmz@reddit
Esta es tu tarea, Larry?
Thick_Comedian_6707@reddit
We’ll never know what his deductible was….
awesomedan24@reddit (OP)
It was $1000. But if Brandt wants to watch the adjuster he has to pay another $100
HeavyMetalRN1974@reddit
He just bought that fucking car last week! Dunno about California law but in NY you’d have to have full coverage while it’s under finance. Unless the guy bought the whole thing outright in cash.
Dense_Description641@reddit
As an insurance adjuster, I can probably answer this question.
Since the son of Blutto had just bought that car last week there is a possibility that he hadn’t yet gotten it insured. While we just don’t know-lets assume he hadn’t. If he had existing insurance on another automobile, he is given a grace period to have coverage on a newly purchased car that sustains damages.
The claim would be for vandalism and since the owner had no knowledge of who Walter was, his damages would be covered.
Despite Walter being completely responsible for it, the guy’s insurance would have a hard time recovering even a most moderate amount of money from him because the guy’s insurance retaliated and tried to kill the Dude’s car.
While it’s not Walter’s car, they wouldn’t want to open themselves up to the possibility of a counter suit. After all, Donnie who loved bowling and in and out burgers was in the back seat when windows were getting broken and could have sustained injuries. Then there’s the Dude’s car. And lets not forget that parking on, on a side street with a no parking after 9 pm sign posted nearby…that ain’t legal either.

Can't drive the car off the lot without insurance
TheRealBaboo@reddit
In 1991 you prolly could
CaptainPunisher@reddit
Not in 91 California, at least not if you had any kind of a loan on it. The loan provider would make you get full coverage for any kind of damage just so they wouldn't be out money on any kind of loss. By then car insurance was mandatory, though you could opt for owner guaranteed liability with the state, but that requires a certain amount for a bond, and I don't think that guy had that kind of money.

Most places in the US you need Insurance for your car when you purchase it, before you drive it off the lot. This isnt 'Nam, there are rules.
DonKeighbals@reddit
What, are you a fucking park ranger now?
allothernamestaken@reddit
They won't let you leave the lot without insurance. The question is whether he had comprehensive coverage. Even if he did, he's paying the deductible, and it's gonna sting.

Responsible-View-804@reddit
Under law, you’re protected up to 30 days with liability coverage and assuming there was a lean on the car, he’d be required to have it on its insurance.
The only way he wouldn’t be covered is if he paid cash and specifically chose to only put liability on it; which would be really stupid since he just bought that car last week

The character who owned the prop Corvette in the movie The Big Lebowski wasn’t in the movie anymore after that scene. So it’s impossible to know. But I can assure you that the actor who played that character did not have to pay for the damage that the character Walter did to the prop Corvette.
Bensfone@reddit
If you find a stranger in the Alps, then he might be trying to scam you. So that fucking car that was bought last week might not be fully covered in this instance.
Ctendall@reddit
If he bought it from a dealership then he would have insurance from the dealership for 30 days or until he got it insured himself
hiptobesq12345@reddit
Does insurance cover when Larry fucks a stranger in the ass?

junklore@reddit
depends. if he told the insurance company that he parks it in a driveway instead of the street, his claim could get denied.
jayspapa@reddit
This is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous.
MrAndyJay@reddit
You know, I never really thought about it. I'd like to think Walter smoothed it over by getting the guy new windows and headlights by 3 o'clock.

Now that new shit has come to light, I’m honestly surprised none of this has been licensed for commercial use by an insurance company. There are so many ads these days mixed in with normal people stuff that I had to look at the source before automatically clicking.
