        STUDY: PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS CAR ARE MOST LIKELY TO HAVE SPEEDING TICKETS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        Some people fit their stereotypes more than others.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Car insurance finder company Insurify looked at more than 1.6 million quote requests, which required applicants to note if they had a speeding ticket on their record.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        They found overall, 11.28 percent of respondents said they did, but the owners of several vehicle models had a lot more than that. Among people driving the Subaru WRX, a high-performance compact sedan, 20.12 percent said they had speeding tickets– the most for any car model.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        That model was followed by the Scion FR-S (19.09), Volkswagen GTI (16.92), and Hyundai Genesis Coupe (15.75) sports cars. There weren’t any clear patterns related to brands, but the top ten vehicles for speeding all had price bases under the estimated average of $37,285.<\/p>\n

        What<\/u><\/strong>\u2019<\/u><\/strong>s a <\/u><\/strong>\u2018<\/u><\/strong>Micro-cation<\/u><\/strong>\u2019<\/u><\/strong> and Why Are Millennials Obsessed with Them?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        There\u2019s a new travel trend otherwise known as a micro-cation, and millennials are making the most out of them. So, how exactly does a micro-cation work?<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        If we\u2019re going off a normal workweek, opting to take off a Friday here or a Monday there extends the average two-day weekend into a three-day reprieve. That means you could leave after work on Thursday and return Sunday night, enjoying an exciting (or relaxing\u2014your pick) two-and-a-half days on vacation while missing only one day of work.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        While trends in travel once revolved around lengthier timelines, 72 percent of millennials took at least one micro-cation in the last year, while 29 percent said they took three micro-cations during that same time period. Considering the rise of affordable flights, it\u2019s not surprising that people want to experience more and more and still be able to make rent.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        But there\u2019s also the fact that 25 percent of millennials feel \u201cvacation shame,\u201d which makes requesting time off work a mental hurdle. But\u2026requesting only one or two days seems far more palatable, right? The moral of the story? Brief or lengthy, vacation is in the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n
