When I moved out to Dallas from Los Angeles a few months ago, one of the first things I did was get my insurance in order for my vehicles. I had been with Farmer’s ever since I turned 16, but figured with a new start in a new place, I might as well shop around for insurance as well. Finding the best rates on car insurance can be easy at carinsurancelist.com. I saved hundreds of dollars by switching to another insurance company with better coverage than I had before.

The weather is pretty different and can be a lot more extreme here in North Dallas, than anything I ever experienced in Los Angeles. Strong winds, tornadoes, and more commonly hail can do a lot of damage to a vehicle. It’s also getting pretty cold here and snowed for the first time this year. I’m not really sure what kind of damage hail does to a convertible top, but with as long as the hood is on the s2000, there’s plenty of surface area to do lots of damage. Dallas doesn’t get much snow that sticks, but when the temps are low enough, ice can make for some hazardous driving. I keep the s2000 garaged and have been taking the civic to work when the weather is bad, but it’s nice knowing that it’s insured in the event I ever get caught out in it.

I’ve got a few mods planned for the Spring, including a new top (maybe a hardtop?) and some new suspension. I figure I’ll wait until after my first Winter here to see how bad the weather gets and what, if any damage it does to the car.
