Wendy, we are now ready to take our first question.
Question-and-Answer SessionOperator[Operator Instructions] Our first question today is from Vincent D'Agostino [ph] from Stifel, Nicolaus.Unknown AnalystIn our own test drive of Snapshot, we had a few issues with foreign-made cars, where we had to get a second device. And the customer service representative that helped us out was able to confirm that there was some communication issues with nondomestic vehicles. So I was just curious how prevalent of an issue is that really in reality.Glenn M. RenwickI am sorry. I'm not going to be able to give you a great deal of information on that. If it was a significant issue, I'd know about it. I know there are some contingencies, but nothing that's sort of -- it's what I would call a significant level. So I can't give you more specifics than that, but i"m happy to follow up on it. But really, given the numbers that we're dealing with, that's a very, very small number.Select the service that is right for you!
