Dude, my cars don't even have AIRBAGS. Fire and theft coverage would cost me more in a year per vehicle than the cost to replace the damn things (Except the Escort, which actually has airbags and actually has a 4 digit resale value)

Yeah, I had a similar mind-set, when I was trying to sell my old beater of a Honda Prelude. Tried to get rid of it for a few months, then it was jacked. Fvckers denied me my $$, either from the sale or the insurance.

Then there was the tow-truck driver I was talking to last month after messing up my current car (don't ask) and he had some interesting things to say on insurance. One was a tale of a pizza dude with a car worth maybe a few hundred bucks. Guy didn't think it was worth having insurance on something so cheap. Sure enough, car goes missing. Pizza dude does not think much of it. Thief, though, totals the car and takes out a street lamp in the process. Since the pizza guy didn't have theft insurance on the vehicle, he was liable for the damage it casued to to the city property, and the subsequent cleanup and replacement costs. The whole moral of the story is that like $50-100 in insurance (that's just theft and fire mind you, no liability or collision) would have saved the poor guy a $30 000 bill from the city.
 
Well it was 7 years ago that I discovered the

So that's my answer 🙂
 
That there's no limit to the depths of human cruelty and stupidity, and that our species is rapidly devolving to its primate origins.
 
i learned it this morning

if you are using phpmyadmin to setup a table in mySQL and you want some of the fields to be date and time, don't enter a field size , or you get an obscure error message that might take you 3-4 hours to figure out. just leave the field size box blank for ttime/date fields

I would agree with the first part but the second part tells me you haven't learned enough.
