Yeah, totally agree—insurance fine print is like trying to decode ancient hieroglyphics. I once lent my Audi to a buddy for a weekend trip, and turns out his insurance didn't cover luxury vehicles...lesson learned the hard way. Always worth a quick call beforehand to avoid surprises.

Yeah, insurance fine print is brutal. I usually stick to my trusty old Honda—less stress about coverage and way cheaper to fix if something goes sideways. But hey, live and learn, right?

Totally get this. Had a similar mess when my brother borrowed our Subaru last summer... insurance went full detective mode. Honestly, older cars just simplify life—less anxiety, fewer headaches.

Yeah, I'm actually shopping around for my first insurance policy right now, and honestly, hearing stories like this makes me think twice about getting something fancy or new. I mean, I get the appeal of a shiny ride, but the thought of insurance companies going all Sherlock Holmes on me if something happens... nah, not worth it. Maybe an older car really is the way to go—less drama, fewer sleepless nights worrying about every little scratch or dent.

Yeah, older cars definitely have their perks—less anxiety about minor dings and all that. But have you thought about reliability? Sometimes older cars can mean more frequent repairs... wonder if that balances out the insurance savings in the long run.
