Also if your are only 20, you should try and stay away from a sports car or high performance car class until you get to be 25 for strictly insurance purposes. Before you buy a car check out the rates, your really better off getting one of the sleeper class of sports cars that will slip thru the insurance companies hi rates, something like a (standard V6 camaro,V6 challenger, V6 mustang), wrx, (altima sport 4 cylinder v6 ) etc.
Right now stay away from cars with the ss, rt, or truely sports cars, unless you can afford the high rates, with rich parents or a high paying job.
This will save you a lot of money on insurance rates.
If your dad puts you on his insurance the rates will be a lot cheaper, but he risks a lot if you get into an accident with the sports car and someone is really injured bad. If you insist on getting a sports car then I would not make my parents put you on their policy, as long as your are over 18 and not living at home and have your own insurance in your name, then they are off the hook legally, and once you hit 21yr. if you are still living at home.

+1....... So very true. It is all about playing the game & at what cost. I guarantee that most parents would not be thrilled if their child was to get into an accident with a new sports car, or a spending ticket. I will also bet that they will tell you up front if you F**K UP, then your off the insurance & good luck getting if yourself. FYI be smart & think about what you are going to be doing behind the wheel & do not try to impress others b/c that will only get you into trouble.
