imo, not everyone needs a new car. Simply have something that gets you from A to B. Save and have a financial plan.
The Turtle wins in the end.
It's alot easier to find a job without a felony arson charge on your records.

Those of us who pay our debts need to thank these dopes for increases in our insurance policies.

They dump them in canals here in Florida. Seems like a lot of illegals do this. In FL, they go after the owners for fraud when the pull the cars out of the canals or rockpits.

imo, not everyone needs a new car. Isn't getting a new car a commandment or an amendment or something?

Lopez, Gomez, Reyes, Rodriquez — there seems to be some connection between these names, but I just can’t seem to put my finger on it.

The club pro at an Arizona retirement community put two guys together for a game of golf.
In getting to know one another, one golfer had moved to Arizona after he got the insurance money from a fire that had destroyed his company.
The other said he moved after he got the insurance money from a flood that wiped out his company.
The golfer who got his insurance money from the fire seemed puzzled for the remainder of the round.
Afterwards when they were having a beer at the 19th Hole, he asked the other golfer, "Tell me something. How do you start a flood?"

Not that I condone criminal activity, but if you’re going to do insurance fraud, don’t be so obvious about it. “I just happened to lower my deductable a week before, good thing.” Yeah, right. “Someone torched it for no reason.” Suuure.
To: BGHater
People shouldn’t be so dumb. Don’t torch it, that’s insurance fraud. Leave it in a bad neighborhood with the keys on the dash, then it will get stolen outright. Worst the insurance company could get you for then is negligence, much better than fraud and arson.

Be more effective to leave your keys in the car near the food court in a mall in a big city
Go shop and come out, and it really will be stolen.
Be sure to leave personal items in it, or it’s too obvious.

In the NVA area the easiest way to guarantee a torching of your car is to have GOP stickers on it. That's the truth.
Guaranteed keyings at the very least.
