RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve got a couple of classics and “full coverage” is a moving target depending on who you ask. - Had a policy once that covered glass but not towing - found out the hard way when my...
RE: Shelter vs. State Farm for home insurance in Missouri - any strong opinions?
- Been there with both, honestly. - That’s spot on - had State Farm raise my rates after a minor claim, even though my record wasn’t that bad. - Never got denied outright, but the premium hike stung more than I expe...
RE: Getting Cheaper Car Insurance by Proving You Drive Less
- Been there, done that - my ‘72 Chevelle’s brakes aren’t exactly “gentle” by modern standards, so the tracker probably thinks I’m drag racing every time I stop for a red light. - Honestly, I get why they want to track h...

RE: USAA vs State Farm: which claims process is less of a headache?
- Had a similar runaround with USAA after my ‘72 Chevelle got rear-ended last year. - Updates were constant, but half the time it was just “we’re still reviewing” - not helpful when you’re itching to get back on the ro...
RE: Getting that student discount on car insurance… not as easy as I thought
- Totally get you on the “smart” features. - My ‘72 Charger just has mirrors and my own eyes - no sensors nagging me every time I tap the brakes. - Yeah, that’s the kicker. - I’ve heard stories from friends with n...
