What Does a Car Crash Cost?

CarInsurance.com's online insurance marketplace gives consumers and to insurance companies an online car insurance rate. They offer online shopping for car insurance. Consumers can receive quotes from several insurance companies, and in some states people can purchase insurance instantly.

Interesting Movie Car Crash Info:

Blu-ray format by Disney, Fox and other studios, the HD DVD discs issued by Universal, Paramount and Warner Brothers store six times as much data as standard DVDs. The extra space gives the studios room for high- definition video, enhanced audio, but also interactive features, including games, picture-in-picture commentaries and Web links.

Car chase movies are so over the top that it is almost impossible to add up the cost of the wreckage. In real life, Progressive Direct, a unit of a U.S. auto insurer, will do the math for you.

It teamed up with Universal Studios Home Entertainment to insert a running tally of the destruction into the recent HD DVD release of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift." As cars smack into one another in Tokyo, a display in a small window keeps track: "Roof repair: $209, taillights: $451, fender: $618.' (Which, my son watched, and thought it was much better than the first)
