He has lots of other things to do, believe me, and they have a green reptile.

I can't believe it took them this long. In an off-the-record situation he's quite candid and wears his feelings on his sleeve (and can tell some hilariously salty stories). Commercials are a part of film-making; and when you piss-off the pissants you might not work. So much for them.

I can give you a much better reason to cancel Geico...many many years ago I had them for auto insurance for myself and my wife. (first wife). 5 years of paying on time without a single claim. In a bad rainstorm my wife rear ended another car. Ended up totaling her car (a beater Mercury Lynx worth about 4K....I bought the salvage rights, rebuilt the front end for about $600 and she drove it for another 2 years.) The car she hit had approximately $1000.00 worth of damage. Geico notified me that they were going to cancel our insurance. Said, "by law they still had to provide liability." Which would have cost us nearly 3 times what we had been paying for full coverage. Before Geico had a chance to cancel my coverage, I dropped them for State Farm. I've been bad mouthing them every since.

agreed, that's fairly pathetic, well I will not be using Progressive either.

I enjoy many of their commercials, but I wouldn't get GEICO insurance because I don't want to consciously do anything to enrich America's wealthiest hypocrite, Warren Buffett. Of course, it's a pretty passive boycott since I've never had a reason to drop USAA anyway.

USAA did half-drop me, though, after an accident similar to that of 1stindoor's first wife. USAA sent me to their high-risk pool, which was through Progressive, until I "earned" the right to come back. I do have to say I don't like the idea that USAA partners (partnered?) with Progressive, given the politics of that company's leadership (the name is no coincidence).
