Holy shit, that totally sucks!!! What company are you with?

STIwish · 2003-07-14, 06:59 PM

Wholy shit... there is no way in hell I will continue to be a member of the SCCA if my insurance goes up like that.. NO WAY!!!

nohandsonthewheel · 2003-07-14, 07:12 PM

I'll talk to our insurance guy..... that doesn't sound right ..... our guy said that if we do race that we would be "highly encouraged" to take out life insurance policies along with our premium for auto insurance.

sperry · 2003-07-14, 07:24 PM

Okay, I've *never* heard of insurance rates going up for Autocrossing. Just find another company. That's BS.... especially since SCCA covers us for $1 million if we should injure anyone at an event.

Man.. that really pisses me off... the whole POINT of SCCA Solo2 is to provide people with a safe outlet for driving fast. A $2400 premium basically indicates the insurance company would rather have us out tearing around the streets for fun where we can hit people and other cars and buildings, curbs, etc. instead of tearing around an airport where the worst thing you can do it hit a orange cone.

on that noise.

this is my parents idea of a practical joke.

i was pretty freaked.

MattR · 2003-07-14, 08:03 PM

Are you Kidding???!!! I would have slapped my mama if she pulled something like that...damn good joke though, but that had me scramblin' reading all the fine print on my policy. geez!

tysonK · 2003-07-14, 08:20 PM

You don't even want to know how real the rest of it looked my dad photoshoped the statefarm logo and EVERYTHING, it was messed up.

I hope didnt send everyone into a panic, i only saw it, then went out to dinner when they told me then came back here and posted that it's a joke.

seriously though, my dad has never done this kind of thing to me before, he must have been bored.

That's classic.

OMG... ROFLOL!!!!!

nohandsonthewheel · 2003-07-14, 10:54 PM

I am especially impressed with the NRS refference... I was about to look it up...

He got you good... Bring him to a meet, and we'll buy him a beer.

Theo · 2003-07-15, 02:26 PM

Wow, sure had me going. My Dad sat me down a few weeks ago to find out how my insurance was going to cover racing. I had to tell him I din't tell my insurance company and that I have no expectation they will cover accidents while racing.

He thinks I'm crazy.

Theo

tysonK · 2003-07-15, 02:35 PM

Dean,
I did look up the law, but I was like what the hell, the numbers don't match up, but I still thought I was screwed. I almost mailed the thing back to statefarm, I dont know what would have happened then. But all in all my dad freaking nailed my ass. THe next fews years I'll be plotting revenge.

This was my first six moth bill that I have actually seen. so I had nothing to compare it with, basically for all I knew it was real, really real.

The only thing that gave me comfort is when I called my parents my mom didn't freak out as much as she should have on the phone(so I kinda was wondering then). I mean she already freaked out when I told her how much regular full cov was.

anyways.

Classic!

The more I thought about it, the funnier it got!

I love it when you find out how creative your parents can be.
