I should have said "has a terrible reputation for settlements with unusual
vehicles. Porsche lists, BMW lists, anyone that has an extensively modified
vehicle is the sort they are difficult with. Something easy to find in a
bluebook, no problem.

"Also, do not go with Geico which has a terrible reputation for
settlements."

Not my experience at all. I had a fairly extensive snowstorm accident 7
years ago (been with Geico over 10), causing 6K damage to a Subaru Legacy
Wagon. My rates did not change upward, and in the last 3 years have gone
down. I'd be paying $200-300 more right now with the next best deal-carrier.

Geico settled my claim promptly with no hesitation or dalay. So, I've had
good experiences with them.
