How about this one.  I'm 23 and have been on my parents' GEICO since I
started driving.  I only had one ticket something like 5 years ago and my
then current car was an '81 Mazda.  I finally replaced the car with a '85
Nissan, very similar although the Nissan has a bigger engine & has a few
more features (neither car has airbags, etc).

Since I just got a ticket out in Kansas while on business & I'd heard GEICO
horror stories, I checked a little ( 3 telephone calls) before settling
with State Farm.  For the same coverage (liability & basics only - the
car's not worth anything more), State Farm turned out to be _cheaper_ than
GEICO, even with a ticket on my State Farm insurance that didn't affect my
GEICO rates (literally, it happened a couple weeks before I changed
companies).  And with my parents, I was a rider on their policy, so you'd
think GEICO could cut them a better deal.  Oh well, that's how it goes.

At least I'm with a real company now - can anyone substantiate or refute
the rumor that GEICO sells all their policies to other companies, almost
making them an insurance broker?  I tend to doubt it, but I'd like to hear
your thoughts.
