my dad custom fit and welding my whole exhaust(car is nasty when you stomp on it, silent at idle)
and I put in my 3g alt, all new front lights, new IAC, we bleed the brakes, torqued the rotors, did all kinds of shiznit

Things are very expensive now. I think mine when I was 18, was around $70 a month, with full collision and glass.

Good deal! Wow! I can't believe insurance is so high - I though $360/year was a lot when I was that age :hick:

Holy hell! When I was 16 I was paying $720 a year, but I was also under my parents insurance. I pay $140 a month now for 2 cars, the 88 has full coverage and the 95 just has liabilty. I have a clean driving record so I'm sure that helps as well.

Right around $60 for me. Under my parents, liabilty. does down every year I drive no tickets or reported accidents. and Good student discount (3.0 or higher) and safe driver discount, did this packet thing.

without all that it would be around 110- 120 i think is what they said when I started driving.

Guys are suppose to be more of a risk yet I thnk that it is AT LEAST equal. We want to go fast, they want to talk on the phone and do make-up. Females always win though.
