New car replacement, is that an option?!

Last week’s blog, “Gap coverage, an important option to have,” examined an optional coverage that can be added to most car insurance policies. Here’s a link just in case you missed it, http://50.87.248.161/~wiseinsu/gap-coverage-a-valuable-option-to-have/.

GAP coverage a valuable option to have

?Buying a new car can be an exciting experience. You do the research, take test drives, and handpick every option to make it truly YOUR car. You’ve even made it through the finance office.

Maybe the prince charming or fairy princess you thought you’d married 10 or 20 years ago really did turn out to be the frog and you feel trapped in a dull, emotionless marriage without a flicker of passion? The relationship that once stirred your soul now barely stirs your morning coffee?

What’s the most dangerous place to drive in Texas?

?One of the most difficult and dangerous places to drive in Texas is on our highways. Driving through one of the major construction projects takes that experience to another level. If you’ve been in the D/FW area, two excellent examples of this would be the reconstruction of the D/FW Connector (Highways 121 & 114 north of D/FW Airport) or LBJ Freeway (Interstate Highway 635 between I-35 and Highway 75).

The importance of having a home inventory

client called me the other day to let me know she’d been robbed. She had arrived home to find her home had been broken into and several things taken.
