bought my daughter a car for $5700, she totaled it in 6 months and the 
insurance paid me $7400 for it,

that's a 30% annual return,

so I bought her 6 more


bought myself a car, 2005, for $12k last august, somebody totaled me 7 
months later, he had no insurance,I had put 10K miles on the car and they 
paid me $12500 for it,
plus $12,000 for pain and suffering, found the same model in a 2007 with 
many more options and 13,000 less miles for the same amount
as the 1st car, they also paid $500 for a rental car and $5000 for doctor 
bills,$1000 for 3 days missed work
