I managed to convince my car insurance company to give me the 5 year good driver discount. My policy started on the 13 of Jan and my first US drivers license was on the 16th of Jan.

I think I need to tell me neighbors to turn down the sound on their new X Box? or Surround system. I can hear what I think is a car engine through the walls. Thats not saying much since I don’t think there is anything between the paster in these apartments. I will wait to see if I hear anything upstairs.
