Florida car insurance stinks

I was all ready today to get some new car insurance because I thought that my old policy was kind of expensive. Well as it turns out a lot of Floriduh car insurance places want you to get your car inspected for damage before they'll enable your policy. I did this once in Tampa and didn't have a real problem with it since the place I could get it done is so close. The ones down here in South Floriduh are at least 10 miles away from me and although they say that they're open on Saturday's they won't do inspections on Saturday for some odd reason. What kind of crap is that? Thats totally terrible! Since I'm really low on vacation time and have two cars to inspect I decided to go with my regular carrier so I don't have to go through the hassle of getting the cars inspected. This only happens when your car is old or has over 1000 miles and this is one of the only states that has this type of inspection. Things were much simpler when I lived in CT and registered my car in NY. Granted I had to have my car inspected every year and shell out $35 but at least I could do it ANYWHERE and it wasn't a real pain to get it done. And at least most of the places weren't holes in the wall either. Total BULLSHIT! Stay away from this state people, its all inviting with its no state income tax and sunny weather but the crap like insurance will make you wanna move to Alaska!
