Gotten older and driving a model that has gotten more expensive to repair. Too bad you can't trade it in for a newer model that can be insured for less. > My insurance agent said "too many other sick people so the cost > of insuring the *group* of you has gone up; this is your share > of that pie..." Of course, that is the very definition of insurance. You pool the costs of everyone in the group. > Cars are safer.
