RE: Bundling insurance with USAA: worth it or just hype?
I totally get the hesitation. I’ve had USAA for years, and while their service is solid, I’ve noticed that bundling didn’t always save me much once my car’s value went up. Ever compare single policies side by side after ...
RE: How picking a “boring” car turned into a wallet win
I've wondered about that too. My last car was a pretty flashy coupe, and I was always paranoid about it getting keyed or broken into. Now with my current (admittedly less boring) sedan, I still worry, but maybe that's ju...
RE: Getting Cheaper Car Insurance by Proving You Drive Less
Getting Cheaper Car Insurance by Proving You Drive Less I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve got a car that I really only take out for weekends or special occasions, and I’ve always wondered if one big road trip...
RE: Avoiding hefty fines for driving without insurance in OK - how I do it, but is there a better way?
I get what you’re saying about electronic verification, but I’m not totally convinced it’s foolproof. Had a friend pulled over in Tulsa last year - his insurance was active, but for some reason it didn’t show up in the o...

RE: Classic car insurance and the annual mileage cap - worth it?
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve always been a bit paranoid about this stuff. A few years back, I had a friend with a vintage Jag who went over his cap by about 1,500 miles - nothing crazy, but when he had a mino...
RE: How do they actually decide when a car is “totaled”?
That’s honestly been my experience too. I had a minor scrape on my S-Class last year, and the repair quote was sky-high because of the sensors and paint. My insurer said repairs were 65% of the car’s value, but they didn...
RE: Classic car insurance and the annual mileage cap - worth it?
I get where you’re coming from, but I can’t help feeling a bit uneasy about just “winging it” with the mileage. Maybe I’m just paranoid after hearing horror stories about denied claims. I mean, if something big happens -...
