  1. They do that and the past performance they have on me is my accident and traffic ticket free driving record. (almost 20 years) However, if they are creating a new category of even lower risk drivers based on current monitored performance, I am tempted to try it. All kinds of companies, airlines for example, are moving towards a pricing model of charging incremental amounts for what each individual customer actually uses. I suspect that I may "use" less insurance than I am actually paying for.
  2. There is no "slippery slope" here. It's coming to all newly manufactured cars in the US. Hell, it's already IN a lot of them. Correct. It started a few years ago, as I understand it.
  3. I received an invitation to have a monitor installed in my car in order to determine my driving habits. If they deem me to be safe, I'll get a discount. As I understand it, the main thing it monitors is quick acceleration / deceleration. Does anyone here have one installed and has it saved you money?
  4. An awesome car. I thought it was wrecked a few years ago. Did you get it fixed?
  5. Another issue is whether or not the police will be able to tell the difference between armed teachers and the bad guy.
  6. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!
  7. Sounds like the best of both worlds. Cool.
  8. I've been working in Galveston recently. Dave. and they have a Schlitterbaun there also. Really? Wow, it's been a while since I've been there! Well then, it would be a tough choice for me except that Galveston has more stuff around. That's true. There's a battleship and sub there, which would be pretty cool.
  9. All of the travel advice I have gotten here has always been great, so here I go again: I'm looking into taking the kids to the beach and Texas is the closest. I don't need anything to do or see and remoteness would be a plus. What would be ideal is a house to rent for a week, or close to it, directly on the beach. The further east, the better. This would most likely be in June. Suggestions?
  10. I did not. So, is it a drone? Give us the details!
  11. Yep. Geek toy! Looks like it's lifting quite a load with the lights and stuffed animal.
  12. So we should disarm the guards at all of the places listed above because armed guards don't help at all, right?
  13. I think we are heading into the very best span of time. I grew up listening to "prophesies" from other watchmen on the walls like yourself and they were all wrong, each and every one of them. Yours is wrong as well.
  14. Stomach bug. The metal work is just a coincidence.
  15. Some news sources have reported that the shooter had some kind of autistic spectrum disorder.
  16. And continued and expanded by B. H. Obama How exactly do you think the current CinC should be prosecuting the war? DETAILS please. By withdrawing all American personnel.
  17. Really ? I wonder who all the preppers are? Just read this forum... This forum is just a small part of the larger world.
  18. What we need is a better mental health care system. This will help the people that have have mental health issues as well as identify them in order to prevent them from from getting access to guns.
  19. I just read the article twice and saw no mention of "Classic Christianity," or any other form of Christianity. She sounds like a run of the mill nut to me.
  20. That was my only complaint. The last two battle/escape scenes at the end were way too much.
  21. Saw it tonight. Thought it was great. The high frame rate was excellent. Martin Freeman as Bilbo was perfect. Gollum was better than ever. Anyone else see it?
