I totally get the feeling that it’s overkill sometimes, but honestly, after a few too many close calls on the road (and one incident involving a rogue...
I’ve been down this road before—literally and figuratively. Had a ‘09 Accord that was worth about as much as my last camping trip’s gas bill. I kept f...
Man, the “what if” scenarios haunt me every time I see a squirrel dart across the road. I used to think liability was enough too, but after my last cr...
That’s the part that always gets me. You can baby your car, keep every receipt, polish it until you can see your reflection in the hood, and then—bam—...

I hear you on the roadside coverage. I dropped it once thinking I’d save a few bucks, then my tire blew out at 2am on a road trip—lesson learned. Ever...
That's a good point about documenting repairs thoroughly—I learned that the hard way myself. A few summers back, I took my vintage VW camper out west ...
Haha, this made me chuckle because I've had similar experiences on road trips. It's funny how easily we slip into "autopilot" mode, especially when we...
