When did I say anything was free? I said that there is no glass
deductible. That is the case on all levels of comprehensive available to
me, and the normal available here.

Were you born an asshole, or have you had to work hard to get there? If
the latter, good job!

LOL. Just checked the online quotes section. To change from full glass
to no glass is a net change of $5/6 month policy. I think I'll pay the
$10/year.

Sorry that I suggested that it was required in NY. After further
investigation, it turns out that it is just silly to not have it.

As for being able to "afford the car itself", insurance is part of the
price you pay. If I can afford my payments, and my insurance, then I can
probably afford the car...
