RE: How did you feel after your first accident and dealing with insurance?
That’s such a common misconception. I’ve been there - after my first claim, I realized “full coverage” is really just a combo of collision and comprehensive, but there are still so many exceptions. It’s frustrating when ...
RE: Running out of gas and waiting forever for help
Metal jerry cans really are a game changer - those cheap plastic ones just don’t cut it if you’re hauling fuel around regularly. I’ve had similar issues with lingering gas smells, and it’s not something you forget quickl...

RE: Finally figured out how car insurance works in no-fault states
Yeah, the whole "no-fault" thing is definitely misleading. When I first moved to a no-fault state, I thought it meant less hassle - boy, was I wrong. Had a minor fender-bender and suddenly felt like I was on trial for mu...
RE: saving cash on insurance when you're young and broke
I've tried one of those tracking apps myself, and honestly, the savings weren't that impressive. Maybe 5-10% off at best, but the privacy trade-off felt uncomfortable. Defensive driving courses, though, were surprisingly...
