I didn't make it clear, I have Allstate multiple cars and homeowners, and have
for decades.  For a while they stopped insuring Corvettes (not just mine!),
but then they started again.  I have separate motorcyle insurance, and every
few years I try to add it to my Allstate policy.  They seem to be a little
more picky here about mc than about tickets for Good Driver.

Insurance - betting against yourself.

Insurance - abuse of statistics for profit.

My insurance agent is actually a pretty cool guy, but that doesn't mean his
company is my friend.  Having to pay on multiple cars when I can only drive 
one at a time, excessive fees just because one is a sportscar, they've made
far too much money off of me to justify anything.
