hey guys i know im MIA lately sorry about it.. im renting a dumpy room in paris and we dont have the internet



im back to my hometown before the end of summer





anyways so i was paying 4950 a year for car insurance through my old company.. aka 420 a month roughly



ive been with them for almost 7 years, and i have never had an accident. only tickets. for speeding. after a set amount of time, the tickets are to come off your driving record. but i think my insurance company was keeping track over those seven years





i made one phonecall to a number on the tv just because i was bored.. and i told them about absolutely everything, and i was kind of having a good time with it, because i wanted to see how much higher they would be than what i pay now



they ran my abstract and the whole works



anyways so they tell me after a 20 minute chat that they will provide the same insurance package as my old company for 1850 a year, or 155 bucks a month.



i couldnt understand why, until they said im in the good books for not having any accidents, regardless of tickets









so if i were any of you guys, id make a call, those commercials arent so gay afterall!
