I just received my auto insurance bill for next year. It’s $1,850. That figures out to about $5 a day. My now five-year old car has just reached 21,000 miles. Accordingly, it appears my daily driving is about 12 miles a day. No accidents or traffic violations in 15 years while having been here.

Does it seem reasonable that you pay $5 a day for insurance just to drive 12 miles? Add a car payment, $5 gasoline and Nevada registration costs and it might be cheaper to call Uber.
