RE: Finally found a decent insurance deal as a newbie driver
Man, I hear you. Had a similar thing with my old '72 Chevelle - skipped roadside assistance thinking, “What could go wrong?” Next thing I know, I’m stranded with a busted fuel pump and a tow bill that made my wallet cry....
RE: Letting teens borrow your car: add them to insurance or just trust the policy?
Back when my oldest got his license, I tried to play it cool and just “let the policy ride.” That lasted until he clipped the mailbox backing out in my ‘72 Chevelle. Insurance wanted every detail - felt like I was being ...
RE: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud?
Title: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud? That’s a good point about smaller towns or close-knit circles. In my experience with the car scene, especially at local meets or swap meets, re...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?

RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Had a similar run-in a couple years back with my ’72 Chevelle after a hailstorm. I’d spent months tracking down original trim pieces, and when it came time for the claim, the adjuster barely glanced at the car - just sna...
RE: What happens if you only carry the bare minimum car insurance in Florida?
I hear you on the repair costs - my old ‘72 Chevelle cost less to fix up than my neighbor’s new SUV after a parking lot scrape. It’s wild. Ever notice how even a minor ding on these newer cars can mean replacing a whole ...
RE: SCORED A SWEET DEAL ON INSURANCE THANKS TO MILITARY DISCOUNT
Couldn’t agree more. Years ago, I lost a set of vintage gauges in a break-in - insurance only covered the stock dash, so I was out a couple hundred bucks and a lot of hunting. Ever since, I keep a folder with photos and ...
