This is A Tough One.

Who do I despise more? Jesusists or insurance companies?

Quote:An insurance company has threatened to void the policy of a Christian minister because she put religious stickers on her car.

Reverend Wena Parry, 75, was told that stickers saying "Christ Must Be Saviour" and "Christ For Me" could be regarded as "modifications" and could invalidate her insurance policy.

The only possible justification for this I can see is if her alterations lower the value of the vehicle and she has full coverage. Even that seems a stretch though.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I was wondering if it was a lease. If so, I could imagine the dealership being a little more persnickety about marring the paint with lettering, and that would be reflected in the fine print on the insurance. She might pay the premium, but the policy is protecting the dealerships resale value.

Shouldn't the lease contract and the insurance policy be two very different things though?

I would argue that she clearly already has an infallible insurance policy so taking out another one was clearly a joke.

In this case there's no contest. The insurance company wins by a long stretch. They do everything in their power to wiggle out of their contracts and are nothing more than scam artists. I had some encounters with them myself where the only solution was lawyering up to make them pay.

Payee is the dealership on a lease. If you own it, you're the payee.

I could see the dealership looking out for the dealership.

Hate Jesuits more. Insurance companies only bum-rape you metaphorically.
