Well, that's part of my strategy to keep them from cancelling it (it isn't cancelled <b>yet</b> - but it will be in about a week). I'm not going to write out how I expect the conversation to go, but I'm going to remind them that I was going to buy renter's insurance from them in the next month or two and that Jenni and I are looking to buy a condo soon, and I was going to purchase insurance on that from them as well. Not only that, but I'm not so stupid as to think that a 1990 240 is going to last me forever and I've been planning on buying another car as a primary transport and keeping the 240 as a project car/backup (I want to drop a Mustang engine in there - more on that in another thread). And I'll sell myself as a safe driver who, even though he hasn't been driving for 36 consecutive months, has watched a lot of other people make mistakes and has learned from them. And I'll say "Do you really think that the risk with me is so great that it's worth throwing away all this future business? Because I assure you, I am not going to be sending out checks to five different insurance companies each month. Whoever I start with, I'm going to stick with. Are you really that eager to not be that company?"
We'll see what happens. I'm operating on the assumption that I'm going to be uninsured in a week, which is fine because MY FUCKING CAR DOESN'T GO.
(It, uh, broke down on the way home after getting it registered. No joke. God has a sense of humor.)
