Re: OT. What does car insurance cost in the US?

There's a lot more that don't come to mind right now, and I'm starting
to sound like that cute little tart on the TV commercials.

There's only one? :) You mean the cartoons, right? One has pink hair and
the other is blonde. I can't remember which goes with which company, but
I do remember that one of them is Progressive, which is my auto insurance
company.

As they go, Progressive is pretty decent. They insured me at a time when
I was broke and had been canceled by my previous company due to chronic
late payments, and I couldn't find any ins. company to take me. Progressive
charged me more, of course, but it wasn't exorbitant. WHen I had an accident
a few years back, they fought hard for me when the jerk in the other car
lied through his teeth about what happened. Meanwhile, although my car
was severely damaged, they didn't total it, and I got a free loaner car
and rides to and from the auto rental place. They treated me well!

Now I'm starting to sound like a commercial. :)
