It's mostly intended as a critique of the common complaint that "all cars today look the same."
In reality, most cars have, at any given time, always tended to look the same. Outliers to this rules are neither more nor less rare today than in the 90s or the 70s or the 50s.

I seriously do not understand why any auto / property insurance company willingly continues to do business in Florida.
Some of us live on high ground many miles from shore, and in houses built to the newer hurricane standards. We've had a hurricane pass immediately over us twice, and one was rated Cat2 as it went over (was a Cat4 at landfall). My house was fine. The crappy shacks built in the 1930s and 1940s down the road all survived. So did the 1907 built, termite-ridden farmhouse a few doors down. I credit the large grandfather oaks around the neighborhood for acting as windbreaks.
That's what's been brutal about this storm. The flooding wasn't storm-surge in the beach / canal neighborhoods, it's just runoff from the highest-level inland areas to the lower-level ones.
Also, by state law, if an insurance company agrees to cover a house at the top of Britton Hill (the highest point in Florida, at 345 feet AMSL), they're also obligated to cover Miami, Naples, Punta Gorda, etc.
Is that a new law? USAA was not writing homeowners policies in coastal counties for 15-20 years or so but would write them for inland county dwellings. But I haven't checked in 5 years.
Pic unrelated. County fleet manager wants to send a Bobcat to my auction. Says, "It ran when we parked it, so it should be fine."

Could be that it's an old law. Haven't lived there in 25 years.
