    RL> Ex: A long time ago, I decided that my main car would be a pick up   
    RL> truck.  GM had just come out with their non-boxy versions and I picked   
    RL> up a nice short box one.  My insurance was really cheap.  I held on to   
    RL> it for several years and then one year my insurance went WAY up.   
    RL>    
    RL> Yet my truck was several years old. I had no accidents or tickets.  I   
    RL> called to complain and ask for a reason.   
    RL>    
    RL> The answer: They've been making your truck for several years, effectively   
    RL> unchanged.  Your truck is worth much more now to thieves as a source of   
    RL> parts - which is impossible to track compared to something that has a   
    RL> VIN attached to it.   
      
   The customer service agents likely have cheat sheets in the office with   
   gimmicks like that. It's like when my friend (who has no furnace) asked the   
   electric company why his bill was so high and they said "It's been really   
   cold."
