Funny how the “drive off the lot” value drop feels even steeper in Hawaii—maybe it’s the salt air, maybe it’s just the market. I’m with you on shoppin...
I hear you on the tech not always being reliable—had a friend get stuck at a checkpoint with a dead phone and no paper backup, and it was a mess. Do y...
Yeah, that’s been my experience too. Unless you’ve got an agreed value policy set up ahead of time, regular insurance just isn’t interested in all the...
It’s wild how much depends on who you talk to at these companies. I had a similar runaround when I tried to clarify if my coverage would hold up durin...
That’s a good point about older cars—my ‘09 Outback definitely doesn’t have the smoothest brakes, and I’ve had a few “hard stop” alerts pop up even wh...

That squirrel story is wild—insurance companies really do love their technicalities. I get tempted to shop around, but I always worry about losing tho...
Had a similar situation last year—barely nudged a bumper in a tight parking garage, no marks at all. Still, I left a note with my number just in case....
