We tried to do that (in miniature) on this list a while back, and it became

evident pretty quickly that a spade is not necessarily a spade in the

insurance industry.  Especially with disparate geographical locations.



People had varying degrees of success with the same comany (example: State

Farm agreed to cover me even thought the Pantera is "black listed" while

others couldn't get to first base with State Farm).  



It is my belief that the agent is a very important part of the equation, as

Lashdeep recently discovered when he called my State Farm agent and got a

much better quote on his F car than with his State Farm agent.  I count

myself lucky that I have a hip agent...



It sure would be nice to have a comparison shopping list... if t'were

possible.  Just being able to compare the features of the various companies'

policies would be helpful, even if the actual cost would have to be

determined on a case by case basis.
