Haha, those deer whistles always seemed like wishful thinking to me too. Had one on my old Mustang—didn't hit a deer, but pretty sure that's just because the car was louder than the whistle. Glad you're alright though, close calls definitely keep life interesting...
Haha, I feel you on that one. Had a deer whistle on my old Subaru wagon—didn't hit any deer either, but I'm pretty sure it was because the thing rattled so much it scared everything away within a mile. Close calls definitely add spice to the road trip stories though...glad yours turned out okay. Stay safe out there, and here's hoping your new insurance stays drama-free for a good long while.
Haha, your deer whistle story reminds me of my own close calls commuting through rural areas. I never had a whistle, but I did have this old set of fog lights that rattled like crazy—pretty sure they scared off wildlife better than any gadget could. Glad your Subaru kept you safe though; those wagons are tanks.
Finding decent insurance in CA is definitely a win. I've been commuting daily for years, and honestly, having reliable coverage without the headache is half the battle. Just keep an eye on renewal notices and policy updates—sometimes companies sneak in changes quietly. But sounds like you're off to a solid start. Here's hoping your new insurer stays chill and drama-free...and may your future road trips be memorable for all the right reasons.
Totally agree about keeping an eye on renewal notices—companies love slipping in those sneaky little changes. I've seen clients get blindsided by subtle tweaks to deductibles or coverage limits, especially in CA where regulations shift frequently. Glad you found a decent insurer, but I'd still recommend double-checking your policy details every year or so. Better safe than sorry, right? And yeah, Subarus are solid...had one myself years ago, and it handled everything from deer to potholes like a champ.
"Glad you found a decent insurer, but I'd still recommend double-checking your policy details every year or so. Better safe than sorry, right?"
Definitely good advice, but honestly, checking every single year might be a bit much for most folks. I've found that if you set aside some time every two or three years—or whenever you have a major life change like moving or buying a new car—that usually does the trick. Insurance companies can be sneaky, sure, but most significant changes tend to happen when there's a big shift in regulations or when your personal situation changes.
I usually keep a simple checklist handy: deductible amounts, coverage limits, roadside assistance options...stuff like that. Makes it way easier to spot if something's off without spending hours reading fine print every renewal. And yeah, Subarus are great—though personally I've had awesome luck with older Hondas too. Cheap to maintain and they just keep going forever.
