[Spridgets] Why I wear seatbelts...

[Rick]

I used to live in Fullerton, CA not too far from Buster.  Right in the 
middle of about 7 million people and all of the Los Angeles traffic mess.

16 years ago I moved to a little town of 4,500 people in the middle of 
Michigan.  The cost for my car insurance tripled thanks to Michigan's goofy 
laws.
