My Laser XE Turbo is NOT a sports car. Why? Because Farmers
Insurance goes by engine size, and everyone knows that a 2.2L engine
can't go fast. This is information passed on to me from my agent.
Since he's a friend, he may have got my car put through as a non
turbo. He never told me a real good reason why it's not a sports
car, and I'll leave well enough alone.
