Last car allowed into the Costco gas lineup and drive straight up, vehicle 15MW one’s behind got stopped by the “we are closed cone and worker shrug”. Had to give the worker a bath g thank you. Might even get a kudos from the spouse, best case.

Finally getting fed up with your current job and start looking for something new, and then having a job offer from a new place 5 days later. Feels good man.

Check out Sonnet if you're comfortable doing everything yourself online. We had 2 cars + house through TD insurance and were paying $500/mo for everything, after buying a new car though it jumped to over $600/mo so I started shopping around. Now we're with Sonnet and paying $260/mo for everything, couldn't believe how drastic the difference was

Oh Man!

I spent yesterday skiing with my 18 yr old daughter. A perfect cloudless day at Sunshine.

She continues to amaze me.

Do you have about the same level of coverage? Anything to look out for? Anyone else have positive experiences with them?

Yah I’d question whether you actually have all the coverage you should have. $87/item with a new car? And a house?

In my experience, people with cheap insurance are also the first in line to complain about how bad their insurance screwed them when it actually came time to use it.

You get what you pay for...

I have slightly more coverage through Sonnet than TD, I was able to pick and choose each item I wanted through their site and quote it out before paying for anything. I have read some negative reviews from them stating that their premiums went up significantly after the first year, so I'm prepared for an increase. If it's stupidly high then I'll just start shopping around again and be thankful for the one year of dirt cheap insurance

I just drove south on MacLeod Trail from 9th Ave to Southland without hitting a single red light. It's the little things these days.

Kudos to you guys.

Work is wearing out its welcome on me too. The lack of growth-oriented people there also really doesn't serve my personality and ambitions. Time for new scenery this year.

Also some travel.

It amazes me the number of people that don't read their policy

Got the first real gig for out of our daughter tonight. That’s some sort of feeling man.

That seems pretty reasonable if one of the cars only has liability. Also not having a 260 or 500 deductible helps too. 2500 for your house significantly reduces cost

But is it the last week of the long winter of our discontent?

I'd wager not.

With the high price of gas, it makes me happy seeing people driving more appropriately.
Way less F-250's and fuel hogs hammering the gas pedal like it's free.
