RE: Best ways to snag insurance discounts in Alaska: driving record vs. bundling?
- Totally get what you mean about those apps. They don’t seem to care if it’s a moose or a meteor - you brake hard, you’re “unsafe.” - Bundling was a mixed bag for me. I tried combining auto and home, but the discount ...
RE: How picking a “boring” car turned into a wallet win
- Totally get where you’re coming from. - Had a similar experience - thought I was being clever buying a “deal” on an old wagon, but it was just one headache after another. - Insurance is sneaky like that, huh? Somet...
RE: Why can’t I use my points AND a coupon at checkout?

RE: Stuck Between State Farm and Farm Bureau - Which One's Better?
Had a similar dilemma last summer prepping for my cross-country trip. State Farm was solid on paper, but Farm Bureau actually took the time to ask about my vintage camper setup and gear specifics. Felt like they genuinel...
RE: keeping your vintage ride running smooth on long trips
- Wire and JB Weld are solid suggestions, but what about duct tape? I know it sounds cliché, but hear me out... - Had a coolant hose split on my old VW bus halfway through Arizona. Wrapped it tight with duct tape and top...
