cityboy1986 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I did mine as well, but I had to put my date of birth in 1982. What's the big difference besides insurance cost anyway <grin>? Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the big difference besides insurance cost anyway <grin>? Tracy Hi Tracy, Thanks so much for taking a moment to provide us with your feedback. Regarding year of birth - that question may give us insight into whether or not American Road appeals to a particular age group or if it appeals to all age groups. From there we determine if we are meeting our goals, or if we need to make adjustments in order to do so. Thanks again for providing us with input.

From there we determine if we are meeting our goals, or if we need to make adjustments in order to do so. Thanks again for providing us with input. Best, Becky I figured that's why you were asking. I was merely commenting that I had to age myself by four years because 1986 was not an option for year of birth. The team did great work on the last issue, by the way!

Happy to provide feedback, Tracy Hi Tracy, We appreciate your input very much. And, thanks for the compliment! I'll be sure to pass it along. The survey tool set the ages automatically - unfortunately, I don't have any control over that aspect. But, if I can provide feedback to them I will!
