...or slightly to the left for 1st...just like some people go inadvertently into 5th, is it really that hard to imagine going to the left into 1st instead?
exactly. she probably had some valve float and trashed the pistons not to mention bent some valves and did all kinds of other fun stuff to the engine.
sorry to hear, man, but it's all on your wife. unfortunately, warranties don't cover mechanical over-rev's by significant others...

Nice try, but no. What you've shown is an excerpt of a policy summary, not the actual policy details. And what that summary appears to say is that insurance policy includes no-charge roadside assistance (aka towing) or rental coverage in the event of a mechanical breakdown. I cannot believe it covers vehicle repairs in the event of a mechanical breakdown.

Just stop. Don't tell me what I'm posting. http://www.geico.com/claims/claimsprocess/understanding-mechanical-breakdown-claims/
I have geico and what I posted is precisely what I have and what I linked.

Sorry, I am mistaken. This is the first I've heard of MBI coverage, which appears to be a rider to your policy. Most people don't have it and it may not be available in all states. Regardless, I still doubt they would cover a money shift. Once again, I say read your policy carefully, not just a summary of your coverage.

Good luck getting GEICO to pay for a money shift. They're one of the most shrewd insurance companies around.

That's a fair point. I bought it cuz I've had bad luck with extended warranties. I guess if its just like one, then no coverage. If its more of an insurance, then should cover some degree of negligence. And there's a little leeway in arguin the word misuse may cover negligence.
I'm not mechanically inclined, but when fighting big companies I do have the luxury of adding "NC Bar # xxxxx" under my name when I write them a letter. So I'd certainly at least argue that I intend on letting a court make the call.
Either way, point taken. I could see geicos first plan being declining coverage.
wouldnt any insurance company be more inclined to deny any claim? I mean thats just what insurance companies do... they make u get coverage and when you need them they try to find anything they can to say, "oh this isnt covered" if i owned an insurance company id make this our mantra? juss sayin.

Yes and no. And I have professional experience that makes me believe insurance cos are close to being closely affiliated with Satan.
That being said, most states have made a bad faith denial to result in such high damages, that their legal departments urge them to have policies that at least tip toe a line close to rationality.
So outright denials are very rare. And usually gone by the time you are talking to their attorney and not some clerk. When they do exist, then it's usually a gray area legally.
Their most frequent sin is low balling, trying to urge settlements before someone gets an attorney, and the like.
