RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
Had to file a claim after a hailstorm last year - old Mustang took a beating. My local agent did pick up the phone and walked me through the paperwork, which helped with the stress. But honestly, the adjuster still came ...
RE: Car insurance in Wyoming: who actually treats you right?
I hear you on the rate hikes - had a similar thing happen with my old pickup. No tickets, no claims, just a random jump in premium. I called my agent and all they could say was “market adjustments.” Not super helpful, bu...
RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
I get where you're coming from - insurance can feel like a money pit, especially when you’re driving something older that you’ve babied for years. I used to think the same way until a guy rear-ended my ‘72 Chevelle and t...
RE: Why did my GEICO premium jump so much this year?
Man, I feel you on that. Had a ‘68 Charger that got dinged in my own driveway - never even left the property. Filed a claim thinking it’d be straightforward since I wasn’t at fault, but sure enough, next renewal the prem...
RE: Why does insurance cost more in Houston than Austin or Dallas?
That ZIP code jump is nuts, but I’ve seen it too. Years ago, I moved my old ‘72 Chevelle from a buddy’s garage in Katy to my place near Midtown - insurance nearly doubled overnight. Didn’t matter that I babied the thing ...
RE: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud?
Title: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud? I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, I’ve seen folks bounce back from a little family side-eye quicker than a fraud charge on their ...
RE: What happens if your rideshare app is between trips and you get into an accident?
That’s the thing - paperwork can make or break you. I remember a buddy with a ‘78 Firebird who tried rideshare for kicks. He got rear-ended during that “logged in, no passenger” window, and it took months to sort out bec...
RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
Had a similar scare with a ‘68 Mustang I rented for a wedding - except it was a rogue deer, not hail. My regular insurance barely covered the fender. Still, I usually roll the dice unless it’s something really fancy or t...
RE: Which Roadside Help Would You Trust More: AAA or Your Insurance Company?
I hear you on the “is AAA really worth it?” debate. I’ve been back and forth myself, especially since my daily driver is a 20-year-old Buick that’s more “character” than “reliable transportation” at this point. For my wi...
RE: Finding affordable car insurance after 65 in kansas - anyone else struggling?
I get the frustration with those trackers, but I’ll admit - my cousin swears her rates dropped after she tried one of those apps. She’s not exactly a slowpoke either. Maybe it’s a gamble, but I wonder if sometimes they a...
RE: Finding decent car insurance in Delaware without losing your mind
Had a similar thing happen with my old ‘72 Nova. The “big name” insurer barely wanted to talk after seeing my accident in ‘19, but this local outfit in Wilmington actually asked about the car, coverage needs, all that. W...
RE: Which is better for SR-22 in ND: local agents or online companies?
I hear you on the peace of mind thing - sometimes it’s just worth a few extra bucks to know someone’s actually paying attention. I had a situation a few years back where my local agent caught a paperwork error that would...
RE: Insurance tips for my vintage ride needed
Insurance Tips For My Vintage Ride Needed That sun visor trick sounds clever in theory, but yeah, I’ve seen what a few hot summers can do to anything left up there. Had an old Mustang once - left a registration slip in ...
RE: Someone smashed my parked car - deal with insurance or call the cops?
OEM parts are a bit of a sore spot for me. Had a ‘72 Chevelle once - tried to save a few bucks with aftermarket trim, and the fit was just... off. Drove me nuts every time I looked at it. But for daily drivers, I get it,...
RE: Struggling to find affordable car insurance after a few tickets - any tips?
Never had much luck with those “smart” trackers either. Tried one a couple years back when I was daily-driving my ‘72 Chevelle (not exactly subtle, I know). Every time I tapped the brakes - usually because someone in a c...
