[AT] Off Topic - Car Insurance

[Tim Nobles]

We go with an independent insurance agency who offers several companies.  I 
switched about 15 years ago to her agency when I did the recommended 
insurance comparison.  Since then I have complained to her about annual 
increases and we've done various things like switch comapanies and increase 
dedutibles to keep the rates "reasonable?"

Well, last year we traded our 10 year old van for a new trailblazer and up 
they went again.  My agent looked and said our current company was the 
cheapest.  We pay about $2000 a year for the trail blazer and our 2000 350 
Ford.  I've thought about doing the Geico Progressive switch, but the 
convience of the local agent who has helped us in the pass has made me stay 
pat.

My 14 year old daughter goes on the road in about a year and half, can't 
wait for those rates to jump.
