RE: Choosing between basic liability and full coverage for your first car - what did you go with?
Yeah, I did something similar with my first car - liability only, since it was already pretty beat up. Here’s how I broke it down: - Looked at my driving record (not great, honestly), so my premiums for full coverage we...

Is Paying For Roadside Help Worth It Or Just Extra? - Did the math last year after my third (yeah, third) battery died in a 12-month stretch. My roadside plan is $60/year. Each jump or tow around here is at least $80, a...
