See, it's old folk who get into accidents while normal driving. Also, Gen Z folk who can't go 30 seconds without checking in with social media. I'm neither, so I don't get into wrecks while normal driving. Only time I wreck, I'm telling myself to breathe as I white knuckle around something. That's not normal driving.

Yes.

Lenders won't allow that, sadly. I'll finance a vehicle if the interest rate is ~2%, and I'll get the highest deductible limits the loan allows.

Also, I have so many vehicles that losing one changes nothing.
