I was with that insurance company until November when they raised my rates 15%. I have had no tickets or accidents or claims since 2001, yet they raised their rates and lost a customer.
Now, I went back to the Statue of Liberty company and because I am an alum of NYU and carry my condo policy with them, my yearly (12 month) premium is about $1500, which is not bad for Southeast Florida.
These insurance companies must lose a hefty number of policy holders whenever they raise their rates more than 5%. If I got a 5% raise every year, I would understand that - but 15%-20% is outrageous!

I'm almost certain I'm over-insured, but every time I talk with my agent about it, he starts to speak "Insurance", my eyes glaze over, and all I hear is that teacher's voice from Peanuts...wha wha whawhaa

I agree with arguments to both sides here. I also don't trust either side either (large multi billion dollar international corporation or the government).

Doesn't Mazda have a 3.7L 6? Or did they do away with that?

I think the abuse flagging is being 'abused.'
They might try posting instead. Maybe the flagger doesn't realize their ID shows when anyone
rolls onto the flag now.
haven't been flagged as well.

Robert X Cringely is VERY well known in the tech world. I have been reading his stuff since the 1980's, and he is very seldom wrong.

Was talking about this with a buddy who owns a tire shop/garage, and a customer chimed in that he had had tranny issues with almost every car he's owned, no matter the make or model. That made me feel better because I think I have the common factor for that customer pinpointed!

I've made a reputation on more than one board making fun of the people who put up with automatic transmission miseries when they could have chosen the simpler bulletproof option.

Today's manuals are way different than the manuals of old.

How the Nash Healey came to be made
The story starts with Donald Healey and Nash-Kelvinator CEO George W. Mason meeting on the Queen Elizabeth, an ocean liner going from the United States to Great Britain. They got together to make the first post war American Sports car in 1951.
The first one looked like this:
Then they made it look more Nash like in 52:

The manual in my daily driver has 116K miles on it (and the original clutch), and I can skip gears at will, coast in neutral and/or pick any gear I like going up and down seriously steep grades on the way to and from my cabin at 7500' here in AZ.
David Letterman said Paul Dixon was his inspiration for his talk shows.
Driver...well before my time, but always thought those Nash Healey convertibles would make a great classic car investment. Any idea what a good one goes for these days?

When I see the monthly bill, I keep thinking a car or two must be missing.
Back to transmissions, my 91 Mustang still has the original transmission and the fluid was changed for the first time 2 years ago.
