I got to "experience" $1.94 as the lowest. I took most of my toys out for a full tank treatment during this anyway. They are all gassed up and ready for some serious cruising!
Even one of my insurance company's gave me some money back. (Allstate) I got $10 in April and another this month! Wow, imagine that! An insurance company GIVING money back is about as rare as an honest politician. (the rarest of all)
Sounds all too familiar. I cannot for some reason remember what insurance company I had, however I had them for over 13 years. I purchased a new boat in 99. They wanted $1200 dollars plus I could only use it in either saltwater or fresh water. I said, what about the Delta, they looked at me funny. I said it brackish, you know a mixture. Anyway, I called Allstate. They insured the boat for $400, and then cut my motorcycles in half, and the cars went down significantly. I did not believe them so I took my policy and did a line by line comparison with them. It was great for about 5 or 6 years. Then they started creeping up the price. I had no tickets or accidents. I did finally get a speeding ticket. The rate went up again. I didn't say anything, waited the 3 years and had a talk. They told me in about 6 months I was entitled to another discount and the ticket would be off the new premium. I would be lower. Not at all, it went up. I seriously need to shop around, again. However the last time I did, no one beat their prices.My youngest son Mark, convinced me to switch to Allstate Insurance, back in 1999. It was a Biker Buddy of his, that ran the business. Never a problem in 10 or so years. We even had our Homeowners with them. After Mike left Allstate, I was forced to insure with an office, closer to my house. Every other year, my rates went up.I never, had an accident or any claim. It kept going on, every couple years. Every time, I seen an Allstate commercial on TV, I figured, I was paying for it. The business changed hands, and the new Allstate owner raised my rates, almost immediately. I called them up, and disputed my bill. Oh, we're sorry, there has been many claims in the USA lately. Blah, blah, blah. I told the A$$hole on the phone,"my wife and I are both retired, and we don't drive 5 miles a day" We're sorry sir. "So am I " I'm going to GEICO tomorrow. Immediately saved $ 73.00 0n a 6 month policy. A couple month's went by, and I was getting insurance estimates, from different Allstate agents, trying to lure me back. Not a chance.
