Awesome!
Here's a question that someone may be able to answer:
I had GEICO back when I was in the Navy and it was government only. (GEICO stands/stood for Government Employee Insurance COmpany) How do the rates and services compare nowadays? I was impressed with them at the time, but it's been 11 years and that's a long time in the business world for companies to change direction.

Put it this way, while their service was fine, I dropped them for Allstate and saved 20%. While I was with them, my rates kept going up, though at the bottom of my bill there was an indication that I would be eligible for a "THREE year safe driver discount". When three years came around, my rates still went up and the notation had changed to "FIVE year safe driver discount". I dropped them immediately. This was at the time that they started their "15 minutes could save you 15 percent" campaign. Two guys I worked with at the time called them for a quote, and neither was given a better rate. Maybe if they didn't spend all that money on such aggressive advertising, they could actually provide those lower rates?

I haven't used them since I was in the Army,but one of the V.P.'s is the former Command Sargent Major of the Army, Richard Kidd. Nice guy fora Sgt.Maj. though.
Those commercials drive me nuts! I thought it was going to be the little Gecko.
There's a guy who appears regularly on Red Eye on FNC (it's a comedy news show, funny despite your leaning) who is a former British special forces soldier and he absolutely hates the Gecko. Apparently because of the accent. They said "You do know he's not real right?" :lol

Sorry to take this off topic but after reading that Ray Park was voicing the Geico Gecko, I had to look it up.
Here's what I found-
The first voice of the gecko was Kelsey Grammar who only did the voice once.
Then it was Richard Steven Horvitz for one spot and then Dave Kelly and it was voiced by British actor/comedian Jake Wood.
Apparently Ray Park did take over the voice of the Gecko in the last few years.
I never would have thought.
Thanks for pointing that out to me.

I did a few google searches and found nothing about Ray Park doing the voice. Where did you hear that from?
"At last we will reveal ourself to the Allstate, At last we will have revenge..."
