RE: Stuck on the Side of the Road in Utah? Here's What I Usually Do
A paper map is a good backup when the phone is dead or there’s no signal. I’d also note the exact mile marker, highway direction, or GPS coordinates before calling for help, if the phone can still determine them. “Somewh...
RE: Dodged a bullet: finally got insured before getting pulled over
I hear you on the over-prepared side. My trunk’s basically a rolling toolbox/mini pharmacy at this point - never know when you’ll need duct tape or allergy meds. The first aid kit is mostly faded wrappers and mystery oin...
RE: Bundling insurance with USAA: worth it or just hype?
That cracked me up because it’s so true. I bundled with USAA for the discount too, but when I had to deal with a minor fender bender, it was way more back-and-forth than I expected. Saving money’s great, but sometimes I ...

RE: SCORED A SWEET DEAL ON INSURANCE THANKS TO MILITARY DISCOUNT
Honestly, that’s one of my biggest gripes with insurance - just how random it all feels depending on who you get. I had a claim once where the adjuster kept calling my Golf a “luxury coupe” and I was like… dude, it’s a h...
RE: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling?
Yeah, I get what you mean about those apps. My insurance tried to get me on one of those “safe driver” trackers, but between the gravel roads and the potholes out here, it just made my score tank. I swear, it thinks ever...
