A release from CarInsurance.com who provide free car insurance quotes from a variety of providers, reveals some interesting facts about a new gimmick from Progressive Direct which tallies the amount of car destruction on a new DVD of The Fast and the Furious.

While cars are smashing each other senseless, there's a running tally of the cost of repair. A display in a small window keeps track: "Roof repair: $209, taillights: $451, fender: $618.' The calculator is labeled 'Progressive Direct: Insurance Damage Estimates'. Universal hopes this is just the start of a wealth of new interactive features on its HD DVDs.
