Completely off topic, but that MIC notepad reminded me of that insurance company. When I worked at the Buick dealer in OKC back in the 70s they routinely sold MIC policies to customers as an extended warranty on new cars (after GM went from 5/50 to 1/12). They also sold policies on used cars. Horrible coverage. The way the claims were handled, only the original part that failed was covered. Example: Water pump fails. Fan comes off and goes through the radiator. MIC would only pay to replace the water pump, but nothing else. Not the fan and not the radiator. All the techs referred to it is MICKEY MOUSE insurance. Lots of unhappy customers.
Sorry for the hijack. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Lynn, being in the insurance business for 43 years, that can be a problem. Head gasket goes, you get a new $25 head gasket, but the $5,000 to replace the gasket is not covered.

That's a rip off.
