Random ThoughtsSo our run of the Progressive Snapshot program is officially over. My policy just renewed and I got my final discount (8% for me and 18% for Jen). Whoopee! Along with finding out the final “discount” … which worked out to a total of $117 per 6 months, I also got my new renewal policy. That discount sounds pretty awesome when you consider that just over a year ago I was paying $900 every 6 months. Then [...]

Random ThoughtsSome companies get it. Social media, that is. They can see something, understand it, and use it to its fullest potential. Some companies don’t get it. When I was out running some errands and grabbing some lunch today, I was reminded of a few of those companies in the latter group. The first example being Bed Bath & Beyond. I noticed they had a foursquare special running. Curious, since I occasionally do find my self [...]

Random ThoughtsIf you’ve been following along for the last few weeks, I’ve been reporting on my experiences with the Progressive Snapshot device and discount.

But here we are, just over half way through the initial 30 days of the Snapshot connected to both cars. So far I’m really not sure what to think. I guess I’ll know more on that in about 11 days (how many more days of data it says that it needs for my car). [...]

Random ThoughtsLast week I signed up both my WRX and Jen’s xD for Progressive’s Snapshot program. It took just a few days for our devices to arrive and we ended up connecting them late Saturday afternoon this past weekend. No idea what I’m talking about? Super simple version: It is a small device that connects to your car’s diagnostic port (any vehicle after 1996 is required to have one). It tracks 3 driving characteristics: time of [...]

Cars & Racing The Life of MeMost feedback… for anything at all… is negative. People like to complain. If things are going well, no one thinks about it. If things are going badly – we’ve got problems. So in a minor bid to change that a little, here is a little positive feedback in terms of “word of mouth.” If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I recently had to deal with Progressive with regard to my insurance policy continuing [...]
