Re: insurance agents: the current enemy of discussion

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

The cheapest insurance I've seen is twentieth Century. If you are a 'good'
driver with some experience it pays to give them a call. 
	My policy w/ State Farm was about $450 every 6 mos, (age 20, no points
against) and when i switched I'm paying $150 every 6 mos!!! it kicks major
ass. 
i've never had to deal w/ them for claims though, and hopefully never will!
