Those trackers drive me nuts, honestly. I had one for a while and it dinged me for “hard braking” when a deer popped out on a gravel road—like, what e...
Had a similar scare in Bozeman last winter—barely tapped a snowbank, but the rental place tried to ding me for “diminished value” plus loss of use. My...
I learned the hard way that “covered” doesn’t always mean what you think. Had a run-in with a pronghorn a couple winters back—agent swore I was good, ...
That’s a whole mood right there. I’ve seen more canoes in my subdivision than at the lake lately. Houston’s “100-year flood” seems to turn up every ot...
It’s wild how much the excess can sting, right? I had something similar last year—small scrape on the side door, nothing major. By the time I factored...

That's a really good example you shared. I used to think accident forgiveness was just another upsell, honestly, until my brother had a similar experi...
I get the peace-of-mind angle, but honestly, I've always wondered if we're sometimes overestimating the anxiety factor. A few years back, I bumped my ...
Yeah, documenting is smart advice. Had a similar issue with my dad's old Corvette—city claimed it was "abandoned," even though we drove it regularly. ...
Haha, your story about the Mustang reminds me of a similar incident I had a couple years back. I was driving my old Jeep Cherokee through rural South ...
Had something similar happen with my Subaru. Thought the dealer was just upselling, but turns out those sensors are super sensitive. Friend went after...
