This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I would recommend an umbrella. by ONeillMGK
The umbrella not only covers auto losses but also losses stemming from your home and personal activities. Have a pool, trampoline, sled, etc? If a kid dies or is seriously injured on your property, buckle up.
It is better to spend a few hundred bucks to protect yourself against a black swan event. Insurance is for catastrophes. If you don't have enough limits you are wasting your money.
Further, the uninsured motorist coverage is a huge factor. Think of the potential costs associated with a family of 4 being hit by an uninsured driver. Sure, your health may pay medical costs but what about pain and suffering, home conversion, loss of spousal benefits.
An umbrella is a no brainer.
