I just got an email announcing that my quote for a pre-OBDII car is eligible for Snapshot.

I had a similar email about my 86 camaro. I lol’d, then srsd and chalked it up to crappy marketing.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent 01/29/2016 at 12:26

They sell insurance, not cars.

You think they should know though.

Not yet. Waiting for my tax refund.

Turns out a V12 XJS will cost me $30 less per month than the BMW.

The bulk of their business involves dealing with cars, they could at least pretend to know what they’re doing.

There’s got to be a way. Not necessarily making a system on your car that reports *properly* to OBD-II spec, heck no. Just a system that has a port and gives it some kind of data which may or may not have any relationship to anything. Their snapshot user agreement has got to pretty much say “plugged into the OBD-II port in car and staying there”, right? #HackThePlanet.

You could “record” a few gentle driving cycles from an OBD car and rig your device to play one at random when turned on.

I don’t see how that is a problem. Run some power to it and it’ll report that you ain’t never driving anywhere. Lower rates here we come!

Snapshot is dumb too, fucking beeping and blinking all the damn time. Took it out and sent it back.
