Insurance is a racket, don't get upset, ask questions and beat them at their own game. When I was a young man may moons ago I decided to purchase a '66 VW bus so I'd have a spare car in case my '73 VW bug had troubles. I dutifully added my bus to the car insurance, being a single young college student the $70 dollars or so it added to my car insurance was dear, but cheaper than running dad's farm pickup for a week. About a year or so later my financial situation improved and I choose to buy myself a new Renault Lecar (yes it was a lapse in judgement), I transferred the plates from the bus to the Lecrap. My insurance agent quoted me $800 for insurance on Lecrap, in the process of adding the new car he asked "which vehicle is this replacing" I informed him the bus tags were on the Lecrap. Imagine my surprise when I get my insurance bill and it's only for $500. Seems I got a multi car discount even on the collision. The agent informed my to never sell or dispose of the bug or change anything lest they figured out they'd screwed up. After driving the Lecrap for a few years I'd finished college and decided to upgrade my vehicle. I bought a new Ford Ranger 4x4 pick-up. When I did the insurance I figured they'd figure out my multi car discount was a fraud, they didn't. My run at this finally ended when I moved to Oklahoma and didn't take the bug (hey it hadn't run in three years).
Of course the new rate on me as a single young man in a 4 wheel drive truck was about $1,200/ year. I was incredulous, they're a bunch of idiots, I go from driving 22 miles to work, across Lansing Michigan 5-6 days a week to driving from the farm to town maybe twice a week and my insurance doubles? After asking some questions we changed some coverage and applied a Farm & Ranch discount and got it back to around $600.
Switched to USAA when I was inthe Air Force and have been with them for 30+ years. Yes they'r insurance companies they're still scumbags, just a little bit nicer scumbags.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
