If I don't want to pay to insure my car, I don't have to do so. I can buy cheaper "one way" insurance that just covers my liability.
I just remembered another way to save on car insurance. You can increase the deductible. A friend of mine put the money he saved by having a higher deductible into an account specifically for that. It took him about 7 years to save up the entire deductible, which he can use if he ever needs to pay the deductible.It is the same here. My insurance is about $300 a year (I'm sure it was more when I was a teenager and my parents paid it), and I've been driving for 10 years and never used it. So, maybe I wouldn't be able to buy that nice of a car, but it would sure be a nice down payment lol.

Again, I don't know how it works where you live, but here I only pay the deductible for repairs due to an accident if I was at fault. I still have to pay deductible on vandalism to my car.Cool- I'll have to look into that!! I'm a very safe, aware driver. I don't get into fender benders (knock on wood) and I always follow traffic laws.

Mission accomplished. I only did the bottom section. Now it's up to Stirling to take off two patio doors, so I can put the screen door back.I'm replacing the screen in a screen door. It was torn to shreds by Shreddy, fighting with other cats through the screen.
When he was little, he used to shred any paper he found. A friend came up with the name Shrederik. We thought it fit perfectly. We had been trying out various names, but hadn't been able to find the right one.His name suits him!
taxlady said:I convinced Stirling to try some kale chips. He hated them. He said they were the worst tasting food he had ever tried, worse than Brussels sprouts!
I don't think they taste like Brussels sprouts, but Stirling thought they were worse than Bs.Hmm. Been meaning to try them, but if they taste like Brussels sprouts, then fuggedaboudit. Blech.

Nothing much worse tasting than Bs, IMHO.
