Back in the late '60's when I was in my twenties and living in Northern Virginia I bought a muscle car. My insurer, State Farm, wanted an exorbitant premium for such a vehicle due to my age. I was employed by the US Government and transferred my coverage to GEICO. Great insurance at great rates. After a few years GEICO went through a rough period and I went back to State Farm which had decent rates for me since by then I was older. Warren Buffett stepped in and bought into GEICO during that period.
