    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    It works really too, just not by email. But a phone call wins customers

    The Ozarks area seems like it'd be really nice, been there once from the Missouri end when I was a kid. But don't remember much. Been watching the show Ozark on Netflix and thinking about it. Apparently the entire Ozark area has more coastline than the state of California, crazy. Due to all the little islands throughout

    I know I know, a friend got suckered into trading in his first gen Honda Fit (made in Japan) that he loved on a new Civic because he got this type of letter.... Unbelievable man. That's why educating is the best thing we can do to help. Most people give the stealership benefit of the doubt when in fact you most definitely shouldn't

    That's funny dude there's some lame cop/detective show on Amazon and it's in the Ozarks I think. And I like the show:anonymous:
    Not the best acting and scripting but it's entertaining as hell for some reason lol:D

    Should check out the one of Netflix its pretty good. Id love to check out the deep parts of the Ozarks but that show makes it sound like there's a bunch of Deliverance hillbillies living there lol.

    Anyone else absolutely love their insurance guy. My guy knows I change vehicles a lot and have somehow engineered my policy price to drop as I change vehicles. I would've thought that would drive prices up.

    I've been meaning to switch my auto insurance over to USAA for awhile now... Got quoted almost half what I'm paying through Esurance. I've never had an insurance "guy" though... I've heard mixed things about going through an agent directly. Who's your provider?

    Esurance jacked my rate up a little last year for no reason other than "market adjustment"...I need to switch

    My guy is an insurance broker, he deals primarily in Progressive and Travelers, but I think he does State farm too now. I use Progressive for the bulk and because the cruiser is a special case it gets a Travelers Policy

    @BartMaster1234

    I have an automatic alert setup with Row52 to alert me of 4Runners and Tacomas hitting lots within 150 miles; all that's shown up are a ton of 5 lugs these past few months, including one this morning in Stockton.

    You have the ability to go through USAA?

    Why the fuck haven't you switched when that choice was made available to you?

    :smack:

    I've had USAA since I started driving, thanks to my dad. When I turned 18, I got my own policy and have been with them for 16 years now.

    NGL, if I could I'd be all over USAA. But alas it was never meant to be.

    Exactly.

    If you can be with USAA, MAKE THE SWITCH.

    I'll stay with them for good.

    I don't regret paying for my ex wife's schooling (while we were together), or that she kept the Husky, or anything like that....I regret getting her on USAA because she was able to stay with them after we divorced.

    Yea my wife is a USAA member so I can switch over whenever...I just need to do it lol.

    Up until this year I was pretty happy with Esurance and not that eager to leave, but the recent increase in rate for market adjustment or whatever is the last straw.

    Also gonna use USAA for life insurance too, got a small policy through my work but need something better now

    Dude, now that I think about it...didn't we have this conversation in person? lol

    Anyway, if you would've switched when the opportunity was available, you could've saved enough to buy a new supercharger, and easily handed me your used one. :anonymous:

    I'm pretty sure I did the math too about saving gas and how giving me your supercharger would pay itself off....
