I get where you’re coming from, but I kinda see why they do it. Like, I’ve got the steering wheel lock, the alarm, and I even park under a streetlight...
Bundling sounded great in theory for me too... until I had to file a claim and suddenly it felt like I was stuck in a game of “who’s on first?” betwee...
