Good Lord! Four hundred bucks for one lousy point?!? That's insane! Just one more reason not to speed around here, I guess. Actually, I'm surprised I haven't been pulled over yet. I can't count how many times I've done 60 on Del Paso Rd. near Raley's. I've noticed there are a lot more cops on that road lately. Fortunately, Miatas are reputed to be slow cars.

Not separate policies, I bet. His agent is simply going to add a car onto his existing policy, which should actually get him a bit of a discount (multi-car). I know I get a discount for insuring more than one car. I get the good driver discount, too. Soon, omygata should be up for that discount, too. So between the two discounts, I can see how coverage might drop a bit. Bummer you have to wait so long to drive your other car. You never did tell us what kind of car it is, btw.

True, BAN, about the multi-car discount, but then he'd have to go and change the policy status yet again when the point came off. I think the idea the insurance agent had in mind was to get it all done with at one time.
BTW -- I just realized that I can't make the dang meet because I forgot about a friend coming through town tonight. Crap! If he hadn't called me, I would have totally forgotten. I'll be there next Saturday, though.

Different Policies. My subaru is under A++ and the corolla is under AAA. Basically, I go to school and such so my parents still pay for part of the A++ insurance. I'm paying AAA in full though because I want to track the corolla.
