This is classic. After picking up my new MY04 on Monday I had to take it to my insurance company for them to inspect. Now, this is my insurance agent who says after seeing the car for the first time "it's a convertible"? You didn't tell me it was a convertible. Me; " Yes that's all they come in". Agent; " It looks like a little Corvette" Me; It's a HONDA not a Corvette!! Agent; "does it have a back seat"? (top was down). Me; no! Agent; " aren't those seats"? Me; "no those are the roll hoops" Agent; "well it sure is a beautiful car" Me; yup!!

You didn't offer him a ride in the "back seat"?

You have to take your new car to your insurance agent for them to inspect it? Why have I never heard of such a thing?

A homeless guy walks by as I was pulling out of a parking spot infront a restaurant, and says, "I like your fenders. Those are some nice porsche fenders you got on there," and he walked away.

I was a little confused, so I smiled, said thanks, and drove away...

My insurance company started asking me to bring my newly purchased used cars to them so they could take a photo of the condition of the vehicle and also confirm the vin. My brand new cars now go through the same scrutiny, I think, because we have replacement insurance on all of our new cars. If they are totaled in an accident within 1 year of purchase then the total, new vehicle price that I paid will be reimbursed not a depreciated value. It has been this way for the last 10 or 15 years if I remember correctly. It's not that much of an inconveniance.
