The nice lady took a pair of scissors and cut my identity into pieces. :sob: This is what I discovered today:
Had I been involved in a collision in the past 24 months here in the great lakes state of Michigan, AAA of Southern California would not have covered any claims. Being a “no fault” state, I didn’t want to get shafted.
Esurance was pretty cheap, but it seems like they take your money and run. But not before they raise your rates a few times.
Allstate, AAA of MI, and Statefarm were all so expensive. I really wanted to switch to Statefarm since they took pretty good care of me after I got hit a while back. Plus the agent here was really nice and helpful.
I ended up settling with Costco’s AMEX insurance. Of course, they are changing their name to become a separate entity from AMEX. Yay. Total savings were: $2400 over the next 2 years for both of us. But not before taking it in the butt.
I had to get a new MI license. Easy enough, took about 20 min. The nice lady handed me a piece of my old CA license stapled to a temporary paper license. Those fuckers. I should have given them my old expired one if I knew they would do that. I was like, “Why are you cutting up my license?” I really asked her as she did it. :rant:
The next blow came as the insurance company needs me to kindly register my car in MI. So there goes my cherished CA plates.
I want this plate now:

Here are some others I’m considering.

Floating hundreds of miles above the surface, he gently navigates over a funny S-shaped land mass. Midway through his descent, a sign that reads, “Grand Canyon,” suddenly becomes visible. Strange, he thinks to himself…
Seconds later, Las Vegas…then Los Angeles–[pause]

This guy captured about 200 photos of the destruction in New Orleans from the perspective of someone who has actually lived it. This sort of gives a different view of what Katrina did minus all of the politics. :sealed:
This has been posted before on Jason‘s site a while back but I heard it on the radio just now and it reminded me of it.
