RE: Getting caught without car insurance in Iowa is no joke

Been there, done that—except it was my ‘72 Chevelle and the cop was more interested in the car than my insurance card. Still, I keep a paper copy in t...

RE: Would you risk a higher deductible to lower your insurance bill?

RE: quick heads-up on Arkansas auto insurance basics

Haha, I feel your pain. Reminds me of when the power window motor went out on my old '72 Chevy Nova. Thought it'd be a quick afternoon job—ended up sp...
