RE: SHOP AROUND OR STICK WITH THE FIRST DECENT QUOTE?
I get where you're coming from, but sometimes chasing that "better" quote just leads to more hassle than it’s worth, especially if your record isn’t spotless. I’ve had times where I called around, explained everything ov...
RE: DOES YOUR RIDE NEED EXTRA PROTECTION AT CAR SHOWS?
Extra measures never hurt, honestly. I’ve been to shows where folks thought their standard locks were enough, only to come back and find something missing. Maybe the pros can get through anything, but most thieves are ju...

RE: CLASSIC CAR STORAGE: ARE NEW CITY RULES GOING TOO FAR?
I get your caution - insurance companies can be pretty opaque about these things. Had a similar scenario myself; inspector seemed satisfied, but my premiums stayed exactly the same. Makes me wonder if these inspections a...

That's a smart move, actually. I recently discovered something similar - my auto insurance policy has an optional rider for rental cars that's way cheaper than the daily rate at the counter. Had no idea until I called th...
