alright... get this...

i pay $166/month for LIABILITY ONLY! i have these tickets currently (going to get new insurance, though):
9/00: speeding, 42 in 25 school zone;
10/00: careless driving, doing burnouts;
4/01: speeding, 58 in 45 highway;
7/02: y-restriction, driving on intermediate licence @ 2:30am;
12/02: at-fault accident, "failure to stop in assured clear safe distance"

well, needless, i have a bad record, but according to my insurance carrier (mendota), i have 9 points on my licence. now, my freind has 17 (!) points on his licence, and has same carrier.

he pays about $100/month. sure, he drives a 1978 lincoln mark v now, but he used to have a 90 nissan sentra. so i ask the lady why my insurance is so damn high, and she's lookin through, and has no explaination. then she's giving me a quote through progressive, and she looks and says this:

"you have a SPORT, that's why your insurance is more expensive..."

i just about laughed my ass off, but i wanted to be polite.

RIGHT!!!! my gl sport is no different than my freinds non-sport besides i have power windows and alloys.

just thought i'd share that little funny story...

btw... i'm gonna go progressive online, they only want past 35 months, which drops two tickets, and is $110/month





You are lucky you have insurance, many companies wouldn't bother. Your list of tickets indicates that you don't obey the law and/or are unaware of the laws. In 27 months you have been caught 5 times, pretty impressive. I'll bet the trend continues and you lose your lic.







Oh, I don't know... I have four tickets in the last 12 months and my insurance hasn't been affected at all. All of them have been for speeding, all 10-18mph over and I have one at fault fender-bender in a friend's car. My insurance is $115 a month which has gone down from the $158 a month I was paying last year.
