State Farm to Lower California Auto Insurance Rates – West News – Sept. 2, 2004

Many people went with the lowest price and cheap homeowners insurance companies back in 1994. Everything was great until the earthquake hit. To this day, many people who thought that they had proper coverage and did not need the help of a professional in the insurance field have never recovered from the earthquake losses they incurred. People think that they can get value for nothing. Maybe we all need to go out and get Yugos to drive. Oh, I forgot they are no longer in business. Wonder if the people who bought Yugos can get parts to repair their cheap car?
