Nobody’s talking about it
The changes in the auto insurance that I’ve heard from agents across the industry in the last few months are unprecedented. Allstate announced last winter they were collecting 50% down for new policies, most people like to spread installments over 6 months, then Kia and Hyundai’s $200 Million class action suit due to car theft frighten Progressive, Allstate, GEICO and State Farm causing some carriers to refuse to insure certain model years due to high theft rates.
Next came the underwriting guidelines changing for some companies, reducing eligibility. Drivers can only have 1 accident in 5 years and need a good credit score to qualify.
Most carriers are filing with the state of NY asking to pass on premium increases of 20% to 40% to the customer.
To say these are scary times is an understatement. In this new post covid world, with the mainstream of the autonomous car technology around the corner, it’s probably a matter of time before we’re all driving in them and maybe the insurance companies are preparing for the risk.

November is a time to reflect and be thankful for all our blessings. Sending good wishes and sharing these two easy recipes for Thanksgiving.
Line a large turkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil long enough to wrap over the turkey. Rub the turkey with lemon and put it the roaster.
Stir parsley, rosemary, sage, garlic, thyme, lemon pepper and salt in a bowl and rub the herb mixture into the cavity of the turkey. Cut and orange in half and insert it into the cavity of the turkey.
Pour a bottle of Champagne and chicken broth over the turkey, making sure some champagne gets into the cavity of the turkey. Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey and seal it loosely.
Bake at 350 in a preheated oven according to its weight. Uncover the turkey about 30 minutes to an hour before its done and continue baking another 30 minutes or until the skin turns golden brown. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F.
Cake
Blend two boxes of Duncan Hines white cake mix with two 12-ounce cans of flavored seltzer for about 2 minutes. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, cake is done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for about 1 hour.
Cream
Whisk two cups of heavy cream, one 12-ounce can evaporated milk and one teaspoon ground cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. Set cream mixture aside. Whisk one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk and one teaspoon vanilla into the cream mixture.
Using a fork, poke holes into the top of the cooled cake and pour the cream mixture over the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Whip one cup of heavy cream with one cup of powdered sugar with a mixer for about 2 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy whipped cream. Spread the whipped cream over the cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Be blessed, enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving
