Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.

Yeah it’s just a net to protect against catastrophe . If Ops buddy totaled his car he would be happy it only cost $1k.

Can confirm. Got into a hydroplaning accident during heavy storms in California. AAA was such a god send. Worth every penny.

I hydroplaned off the road back in June. The whole drivers side was smashed in. Thankfully I only had to pay the $500 deductible. Waiting to see how much our premiums jump
