Are you out of your mind?

I've called GEICO on their "challenge" three times in the past 8 years or
so, and had them quote me a rate equivalent to my present car insurance
policy.

Each time, they quoted me a rate at least TWICE as much as what I usually
pay.  The first time (1986) they even told me they would not insure my
1984 Toyota Celica GTS, but if they did, the rate would be [insert
astronomical quote here].

Most recently, now that I'm employed by the government, I thought I'd call
them again.  Their rates are STILL way too high.

No thanks, GEICO.  You can't beat State Farm.
