RE: Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands - my step-by-step
I get what you’re saying about regular washes, but honestly, I’m not convinced they do much against the salt in the long run. We tried keeping up with it, but after a couple years, the undercarriage still started showing...
RE: Mileage-based car insurance: who’s using it and which company do you like?

RE: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud?
Yeah, that’s the part that gets me. I had a situation a few years back where I accidentally double-paid a mechanic for some work on our van. Totally honest mistake, but the guy thought I was trying to pull something shad...
