So my car got scratched in a parking lot and I don't know who did it. I plan on filing a claim with my insurance company to get this fixed. My deductible is $500. My question is:

What safeguards do insurance companies have in place to prevent me from changing my collision and comprehensive coverage to drop my deductible to $100, get my car fixed, then switch the coverage back to my normal rate?

I bought a 98 Grand Am from a lil old lady a couple of weeks ago. She said it was "perfect". I test drove it, seemed alright. Stopped good, started right up son on and so forth, so I bought it. Now here we are. I took it to a shop, they looked at it and told me that they "Have no idea. Never seen anything like it." This is a typical day driving my "perfect" car. I start it up, it purrs like a kitten. A minimum of 10 minutes into the drive it makes this wining noise and when the wining goes away, it cuts off. Just dies. So I will start it again, no problems. Drive like 2 more minutes, same thing. Any more driving after the second time it cuts off, it just wont start. I have to pull over and let it sit for at least 20 minutes, just to have it do the same thing over and over. The temperature gauge says the engine is not hot. I replaced the fuel filter. Oil change.... Thermostat is ok, according to the guy at Auto Zone. Please help me and my lemon..its all i have right now!

My Ranger just stalled,it will turn over, but cuts right out, it seems as though it is not getting any gas. If I pump the gas pedal, nothing, the engine doesn't even rev. Any ideas?

As an 18 year old man, I think that it is unfair that car insurance is higher for me than for some girl. Don't get me wrong, I love being a guy and wouldnt change it for the world, but even though I am a careful driver, I still have to pay more insurance simply because of the way I was born. I didnt even get a chance to screw up. If insurance was higher for blacks then they would be having a cow. What do you think?

I heard they really don't but it's just a safety precautionary measure to turn them off during flight.

I'm confused about what to do at the pump. New driver, and when you have a motorcycle/moped at the pump, do you go in to pay first, or do you pull out and park, and then pay? Help please, lol thanks.

I am getting my motorcycle license this week, and I am still trying to figure out what to get. My dad drove a Harley, as does my cousin, who wants me to get one. However, another close friend of mine has a "crotch rocket" and makes the point that the only people who drive Harleys are men in a mid-life crisis or overweighted bearded white guys who don't get laid. I do notice younger guys and younger girls on the crotch rockets. Your thoughts?
