Silly Car Insurance Companies

I'm having a weird thing with my car insurance company. I have 12 cars, I work out of my home and my wife works 1 block away from our home. We don't travel very much - I run to the bank and post office every day (maybe 2 miles) and we do groceries and sometimes put maybe 25-30 miles on one of the cars on a Saturday.

So, I have provided very low miles driven for each car on my policy. I'm sure it affects my insurance cost.

Today, I get a letter from them demanding me explain why I am not averaging 12,000 miles per year, per car, like the rest of the world's drivers. Can't they count? 8 of the cars I have are on that same policy with them, so while they may not know about my others (which I have on classic/antique insurance), surely they can count the 8 (not to mention also a motorcycle).

Now I have to spend the hot afternoon going from car to car to write down the current odometer reading for them and I have to write an exception explanation for each of the cars for them.

I tried calling to explain, but the guy on the phone said three times, "Why do you have so many cars?"

None of his freaking business.

By their "estimations," I should be driving almost 150,000 miles per year (total) while working from my home and with all the stores and businesses that we frequent each being within a 2-3 mile radius. Oy vey.
