Ouch!

I have called K&K. Have you?

They do NOT sell individual autox insurance.

They sell "Event Insurance". This is not what I am seeking.

Don't tell me I am pissing and moaning about this.  I am trying to determine an
actual solution.  IF you are aware of one I would love to hear it.

And...Why shouldn't insurance companies cover this? Am I not paying my insurance
bill? We are conditioned to believe that insurance companies have the right to
drop us whenever they want and to not insure us all the time.

I know it was my fault. But isn't that what insurance is for? To cover
accidents, even if they are our fault?

I understand your point and have accepted full responsibility for my actions,
but I would like to find a solution that allows me autox without worrying about
insurance.
