No, of course not.  I called because you got a road atlas for free just 
for getting a quote.  It turned out that their prices were about 25% 
lower than the lowest competitor, for the same coverage--which is why we 
went with State Farm.  BTW, the road map is *great*--a huge Rand McNally 
covered in leatherette or something, the kind you pay $13.95 for in the 
store.  Since it was free, and enticed me into checking rates that turned 
out to be lower, wasn't a bad deal!
