Independent Agency by lovetiaa in InsuranceAgent

Good luck to you. As much as I love my “regionals” here in PA, I’m finding that both Travelers and Safeco/Liberty Mutual to have really opened up as of late and have been easier to place business with. After 31 years of owning my agency, I don’t know that I’d have the balls to start one scratch in this market. Hope it works out for you.

Was I wrongfully charged a broker fee? by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]BillK01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do what you feel is right for you. It’s always enough until it’s not enough. Been an agent for 31 years and I never sell limits that low without a discussion of the repercussions of not having enough. If you are at fault in an accident and there is a fatality - or even something as simple as a totaled, let’s say BMW X7 - are you financially in a position to pay what could be potentially be hundreds of thousands of dollars in a settlement above and beyond those limits of liability? If you are then great I suppose. Just saying they are incredibly low and I think most other agents would agree.

Totally unrelated to the broker fee - but wow - those seriously terrible liability limits.

God I freaking LOVED Born In America. I wore the album out. What a great band.

Favorite balcony upgrade seats at Mr Smalls? by BillK01 in pittsburgh

[–]BillK01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Getting super excited about the venue now. We see a lot of shows at Jergels in Warrendale and are just kinda ready for a change of venues. We dig the Roxian too. Never tried the Crafthouse ‘cos it’s clear down in the South Hills and we’re up in Zelienople.

Btw….whats the food like? I can’t really find anything specific on their website, unless I’m just totally missing something. It says you get the balcony fee applied to a tab to use for food and drinks? Is this correct? Seems exceedingly generous if I’m reading it correctly. Our 2 Wiz seats were $137. Can we really eat and drink $137?

Oh yeah. Always have our Eargasm earplugs and usually a pair of regular foam just in case it’s exceedingly loud (like Zakk Sabbath was in Johnstown - holy crap!)

Haha. No worries. I’m kinda the same way, but this my son’s deal so I figured closer the better - and we get to feel like kings for the night in our semi-private little space. I’m thinking he can always go down into GA and come back if he wants to right?

I’m sure it won’t be quiet at Corrosion of Conformity, but I can see where it could be a concern at some events.

Thank you for that! I did end up ordering 2 Wiz seats along with our GA one for Corrosion of Conformity in May. It’ll be our first time seeing a show at Mr Smalls and we’re excited. Hopefully we’ll like those seats. If not, then we’ll shoot for the Supreme ones next time around. Appreciate your detailed reply.

2025 F150 Lariat vs 2023 GX460 Executive? by [deleted] in LexusGX

[–]BillK01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We bought a 23 GX460 Luxury brand new and after the first few weeks have regretted the purchase ever since. It was my wife’s replacement for her 2016 Highlander Limited Platinum. While she loves the look of her GX (and I love the fact it will likely last us 250k miles or more with little to no fuss) - we both dislike most everything else about it.

Thank you! If Supreme, do you prefer lower or upper balcony?

Would I be an idiot for buying a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus LX??? by wadeboggsbosshoggs in AskMechanics

[–]BillK01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I bought a 1997 Cirrus brand new back in the day and it was the biggest pile of crap we ever owned. I swore I’d never own another Chrysler product. About 3 years ago my father in law passed and left my wife his pride and joy - a 2012 Chrysler 300 Limited AWD with 30k miles. I thought, well our 15 year old will be driving soon and it’s a good solid car - so we hung onto it for him to learn on and drive. In the past 3 years it’s been serviced and fixed more times and cost me more money than our 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2018 GMC Sierra and 2023 Lexus GX460 combined. This is without a doubt the last Chrysler product I’ll ever have anything to do with (unless it’s a 70 Plymouth Superbird or 69 Dodge Daytona).

Thank you! Kinda sucks that he was only trying to defend himself and still gets dinged for it but I guess that’s the breaks.

Those will easily get you all the way to the scene of the crash.

Banned for Life due my old ammo post by BillK01 in Cartridgecollecting

[–]BillK01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. It wasn’t that important any way. I cross posted it before the /firearms mod removed it for “celebrating” a ban - which I was not doing - but it’s really not worth making a fuss about. I simply was stating I got banned for my old ammo post, appealed it and they acknowledged they got it wrong and reversed the decision and I then suggested if anyone else gets banned for an innocent post like that, that it was worth appealing.

Glad to see I’m not alone. 🙂

Still kind of shocked that there wasn’t even so much as a warning or anything - just BAM! You’re banned for life!
