That's the price now, but what about when I renew this next time in 4 years
and it's $20, not too bad, but then if I'm in the same financial situation
I'm in now, and 10 years from that when it's $40 or $50, in the current
financial situation, that's not in the budget. Especially when I stretch the
current family car to a half million miles. lol never happen in New England
but we're almost at 150,000 now and I've replaced about every bolt on engine
part once and a couple are going for round 2. If they could guaranty it
would stay around the current price or that I'd have a livable income in a
couple renewals I'd probably give it thought but as things stand I don't see
anything changing so I'll keep it as is.
