What a difference a zip code makes

Once upon a time, I was getting killed by commuter time, so I moved 80% closer to school, to a place I drove by everyday. When I did this, my insurance rates quintupled even though I was driving 80% less. Moral of the story: Don't ever live in the same zip code as Koreatown.

A couple of years later, I was thinking about buying a convertable, so I called by agent to see what that would do to my insurance. He took one look and screamed, "@#^&!@!, where do you live?!"
"Near Koreatown."
"Oh, well you can't afford insurace for a rag top."
"Whatta you mean, I can't afford it?? You don't even know how much I make."
"I don't care how much you make. You can't afford it."

Why didn't you buy a bicycle instead ? that would have been both healthier and cheaper

Riding a bicycle in L.A. is suicidal!

Living in L.A. is suicidal. Smog, earthquakes, riots, car crashes, volcanoes, alien death rays...

Nah, Just do like one of my former colleagues - he had big boots and when a car got too close he hit them.

Ok, his 2 meters height, acoordingly bodybuild and green hair has may helped him

My problem is that people would be shooting at me if I was on my bike in most of the neighbourhoods of this city.

That and the fact that lugging the week's groceries home on a bike is ridiculous.

when riding a bike you don't buy for the whole week, but I can see your problem - more turns in the shooting field

Would a snowcat be more appropriate for your neighbours ?

Tough neighbourhood - can you give a pic of your AA defence ?

[KrazyHorse]

The bad guys are too ****ed up on heroin to fly. AA isn't necessary.

Is that a Chieftain or Centurarian, I always confuse the two.

Also, playing around with Progressive's online quote machine, it's better to have been caught drunk driving than to have been caught speeding.

I would trust them more than you.

Say Kuciwalker, how many bathrooms does your car have?

[KrazyHorse]

Then explain why one insurance company comes up with a quote 80% higher than another company's quote given the exact same information?

I guess that it's a leopard - maybe a little overkill.
