Tolar, Texas is much like other small Texas towns – if you blink, you’ll pass right on through. In a recent passing, I stopped for just a couple minutes as the sun was starting to come down. Like my dad, the antique car caught my eye.

With summer around the corner, I have a list of upcoming events and trips. These activities are not always cheap yet I don’t want to miss out on any opportunities! How can I cut back on expenses to make the most of my income? Each year, we all spend a fair amount on car insurance plus even more time researching. Finally, there’s a site provides an auto insurance comparison to get us exactly what we’re looking for, within minutes – AutoInsurance.com!
When I had my first car, I don’t think auto insurance weighed heavily on my mind. I just wanted to hit the road and had my personal mechanic (dad) nearby. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve moved thousands of miles away from home, had the unfortunate meetings with uninsured drivers and there’s more on my plate (work, family, friends, traveling, etc.). I don’t always have time to research the best rate however it took me less than 15 minutes with AutoInsurance.com. They helped provide auto insurance comparisons specific to my needs to help find the best rate and save money for the coming months!
Think about the possibilities with the savings! Have you been planning your annual family vacation? Attending a concert? Treating yourself to a night on the town? New fitness equipment? Savings in one area means rewarding yourself in another!
Www.AutoInsurance.com empowers consumers to take control of the auto insurance purchase process by offering a verified, final price that can be purchased directly online or by phone. Many other online sites provide only estimates that cannot be purchased or require additional time and effort to contact each individual carrier. Currently consumers can compare quotes from up to six top national carriers: Progressive, Travelers, Esurance, 21st Century, The General and Safeco.
On the site, consumers can adjust and customize their coverage and see the immediate impact on their quote, ensuring that they receive the most up-to-date and accurate policy information. It’s easy to use and compare to your existing coverage(s). It took me less than 15 minutes and I only had to input my information in once to get various quotes!
Please note: Consumers only from the following states are able to have full functionality of this site at this time: Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi.
In less than 15 minutes, you can save yourself a lot of time and money. Give it a whirl!
Last weekend was one of my favorite times of the year, NASCAR weekend. There is absolutely nothing like heading out to Texas Motor Speedway, meeting up with great people, grilling out, catching up on some laughs and watching the cars “turn left”. Never would I have thought that I would be a fan but boy, have I been missing out!
These weekends are spent camping out in RV’s. We stay outside the racetrack, some stay within the track (more on that later). Flags are flying high, grills and campfires are going, usually there is a TV outside with football on. We are in the South, none of this should be surprising. Plus you never know what’s going to happen. Case in point – Diana takes a ride on a horse…. we are in Texas after all!
Fans across the way. Yes, that does say “Infidel” and “Come and Take It”.
Saturday’s Winner: Brad Keselowski
At night, the party is just getting started. We headed to the infield for some debauchery. It also happened to be a time when a few of the drivers were giving ride-along’s around the track (I’m convinced my invitation was lost). Although what happens in the infield, stays in the infield, I will tell you this. There are massive vehicles, interesting vehicles and modes of transportation (including cooler trains that move too fast capture with your camera). There’s also a lot of drunk people but – it’s the infield at NASCAR. It’s one heck of a time!
This guy was rocking out at an open karaoke. He was joined by his harmonica, a very drunk redneck and a man in the background (you’ll see towards the end of video” who joined in on his air guitar and air harmonica.
The next morning, when we all woke up and felt “refreshed”, it’s time for the final race of the weekend. Bittersweet as we can’t wait for the race but we’re not yet ready for the weekend to be over.
Making really tall friends!
All in all, it was an incredible weekend! I couldn’t have asked for a better time except to maybe have the wind stop blowing for a bit (it got chilly). Seriously – one of the best times!
Have you ever been to a NASCAR race? What did you think?!
