Our insurance rates are stupid high in Louisiana. Its stupid.
I also wanted to disagree with you comment about the interior quality of the vette. IMHO it has one of if nothe worst interiors I have ever been in, and it was a huge turn off when I test drove a loaded out 09.

I pay $242/mo for my cars. My Z06 accounts for $175 of that, and that is only because I got the free replacement option. If my car is totaled within 3 years, I go pick out a new one, and they pick up the tab for me.
Yes, this rate is bad, but in LA, it is GOOD.
Do I WANT to pay it? No, not really. Do I think it's worth it to enjoy the car? Yes.
How can I afford it? I went to college on scholarships, I didn't **** around and change majors a half-dozen times, I graduated on schedule, and went and got a job.
I had been building my credit for about 2.5 years before I got this car. This car is getting my foot in the door for a trade up in 2013 for a Z06 with more amenities (maybe 2 or 3LZ trim level this time), F55 suspension, etc. This is the first car I have financed, and I was just happy they allowed it. It kicks ***, but I want a few different options I didn't get this go-around, and I would like the LAST of the C6 body style as the C7 will not have as much power as the C6 Z06, and you know how the first few years of any car have bugs. The C6 has been polished and perfected for a while, and they aren't done yet.
So, that's how I got here, and that's where I'm going. I live relatively "small", don't party all the time, and invest in my hobbies because that's what makes me smile.
