[DML] Re: Insurance, stated value, daily drivers

["Marv Hein" <marvhein@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have stated value coverage through Allstate.  I had to provide an 
appraisal in support of the statement.  

It's in my best interest to keep the appraisal and the stated value 
up-to-date so I can replace my car if it is totaled in some way. I 
plan to do this about once a year.
