RE: Finding affordable car insurance in Hawaii when you're labeled "high-risk"
I switched from a big-name insurer to a smaller regional one about two years ago after a couple speeding tickets jacked up my rates. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical at first - figured there had to be some hidden catch. ...
RE: Scored a Sweet Auto Insurance Deal Thanks to My Military ID
Interesting to hear your experience - I’ve been on the fence about dashcams myself. A buddy of mine swears by his, especially after it saved him from a nasty insurance battle last year. He got sideswiped at an intersecti...
RE: What Happens if You're Labeled a Risky Driver by Insurance Companies?
That's exactly what I've been worried about too. A couple years back, my cousin got into a minor fender-bender - nothing serious, just a parking lot scrape. But his premiums shot up immediately afterward. He figured they...
RE: lent my car to a friend, insurance got messy real quick
Yeah, mileage-based policies always seemed a bit sketchy to me... I mean, how closely do they really track that stuff? Had a buddy borrow my car once - just a quick weekend trip - and bam, insurance drama city. Lesson le...

RE: keeping your vintage ride running smooth on long trips
Haha, ain't that the truth. I'm usually pretty skeptical about swapping parts proactively - mostly because my budget doesn't exactly allow me to replace stuff that's still working fine. But after getting stranded once wi...
RE: bumped someone's car lightly, no visible damage - should I report?
Good call on the photo. Reminds me of a similar thing that happened to me a while back. I was backing out of a tight parking spot downtown, barely tapped the car behind me - honestly thought it was nothing. No scratches,...
RE: just saw a story about a guy in Kansas whose car got totaled by hail, and turns out his insurance didn't cover it.
Yeah, comprehensive coverage is one of those things I always debated skipping to save a few bucks - until a buddy of mine got caught in a freak hailstorm during a road trip. He thought he was covered, but nope... ended u...
