[Shotimes] Don't leave the SHOs behind

Ah, but if those "fender benders" were under the age of 25, and reported to
the police and/or the insurance company, that's what raises the rates.

I had two accidents between the ages of 16 & 25, neither my fault, and one
totaled the car.

I had only two reportable accidents since then.....between the ages of 25
and 52. I fell right in line with the insurance company stats. This is why
folks under 25 get the "privilege" of paying higher insurance.

It's the old saying......."life's a bitch, deal with it".

Hey, cars last as long in Detroit as anywhere. Ya know all of those cars
either (1) sold in the south, or (2) are later sold as "southern cars"?? A
great number of them started their lives in Detroit as company/lease/new
cars. This is where Carfax is a great service.

Here! I did have a couple of fender benders but nothing serious. I was
licensed at 16 on my birthday in 1966. Drove my dad's '66 Olds Delta 88 (425
c.i.), his '65 Mustang 289 auto, and one of the first Camaros, a 230 6cyl.
with 3 on the tree. I scratched or dented them a bit but cars did not last
very long in Detroit anyways.
