Okay never mind. I flipped out over nothing. Looked on progressive for ANOTHER quote but this one on my 2wd and they want $253 a MONTH! LOL.
Anyway, my mom only pays like $80 a month for my 2wd. I'm going to try to jump on her profile and pay for my own insurance. lol

I pay $75 a month for liability only. I won't pay the $15 a month because insurance companies dont pay you what the vehicle is worth after an accident. So why bother?
My fiance and I are having to sue an insurance company because some jackass hit us and destroyed her car. Worth $7000 at the time and the company wants to give us $1000. $1200 if we sell the car to them.
I like the way it is in Australia: Insurance is not compulsory. If you want it, fine. If you dont, then if you get in a wreck then you're screwed.

Another contributing factor is the color of the vehicle. When I was 16 I had a little fun looking at insurance costs on Progressive, first of all, being 16, male, unmarried, having a RED (on average i think $50 more to insure a red vehicle) truck that was older with no real safety features besides seat belts and the drivers-side "bar" was like $1900 for 6 MONTHS. Right now I'm 19, I'm still on my moms policy, but I pay for it myself, its about 900 for six months. when I was 16-17-18, it was close to $1400 for six months, but my mom still payed it for me. This is through Geico. If I were to start my own policy, it would be around $1300 for six months right now. I also got $200 off for six months for good grades in high school. I wouldn't doubt it if my '88 4runner is more to insure, being older, and a 2door vehicle with back seats, yet the insurance might see it as not a complete loss if it is totaled since, to them, its worth nigh even $1K probably. I'll just have to see...

try having a 2000 Mustang your senior year and only being 17/18...
with a wreckless driving violation, and 2 speeding tickets under your belt...
lol, that's why I got rid of the Stang; I got into even more trouble on the road once I got that, and had to sell it because I couldn't afford it. and I guess another reason I got rid of it was to keep me from getting my licence suspended...
I was a hellion on wheels back in the day
I say back in the day, hell that was only 4/5 years ago
but a lot's changed sence then...
Now I'm 21, about to be 22 this March, and I only pay $65 a month through Allstate

I'm a little ticked off. Apparently its $200 a month for my 86 to get insured by myself. Thats bull . I'm 18, no traffic violations, no wrecks, nothing. I have motorcycle through progressive and thats $180 a YEAR! After I finish with my manual tranny swap I might have to sell it
I can't drive it on the road...so pretty much its a useless vehicle. Anybody else can't drive another vehicle because insurance costs are too high?
