I guess you can surmise instead of keeping up with threads where you've posted elsewhere...

Yes--an attorney who is hired by insurance companies to defend against frivilous litigation brought by plaintiff trial attorneys against employers. An attorney who readily agreed with your post about the need for "loser pays" legislation. I do indeed look for every little opening left by these leaches in order to keep litigation costs down for employers and their insurance carriers.

Your point on listing engine sizes is not lost on me. I just feel that I really am tired of having to restrict everything I do because of insurance dictates. I do that in my business--this is my hobby and I'm having fun. Maybe I'll pay more because someone reads something I post--that's a decision I freely make. I pay more for life insurance because of my fat ass. I'm paying more because I smoke (yes--off of them per your cold turkey kick in the butt, thank you, for the past several days--but insurance wants you off of them for several years before it counts). Choices we all make. I'll pay more per limited mile for insurance for the Cobra instead of a Vette, more for a big block than a small block undoubtedly, and so it goes. Choices.

I've stated that I do agree with the approaches suggested in other threads about safety checklists and driver's training to help make sure insurance is available at some price. We see it at the tracks--why not on the streets?
