I was 17 at the time. No credit whatsoever and less than a year of driving, so that might have had something to do with it.

hm maybe it was an 80s model? geico seemed to have no issue with it.

My insurance dropped substantially when I turned 25. I got my license at 17 or 18 I think. Got it while living in TX.

dude that drop was amazing... I had an 01 eclipse GS(t) and a 98 GSX and I was paying the same as i am now, I hit 25 and it dropped to like 95 bucks a month

if it makes u feel any better i pay 4200 a year :ugh2:

Thats absolutley rediculous...we live in the same region, how old are you?

theres got to be something going on thats killing your rate, either that or you just went with your first quote

I am on my dad's insurance (multi car discount) but I am the primary driver on my 370Z. Not sure if that is totally cosher to do since I don't live with my dad/have a different address.

I am 25 years old, and have had 2 speeding tickets over my driving life.

My insurance is $70.28/month or $421.68/6 months or $843.36/year. For some reason the insurance on my old car (2006 subaru impreza) is more by a few dollars? weird...

i have an accident and im 22. insurance comapnies look at me and go hmmmm we can make some good money on this kid lol. It wasnt my first quote. my first one was for like 6k a year! so i did some shopping and got this as the best one. but now i have a ticket from my previous cars and my insurance hasnt picked up on that.

can i join your plan?? lol

Misery loves company :). Damn that's a lot.

Yup thank god I have a job that I get paid salary

If you get a speeding ticket do the article 894. It costs more than the ticket would be it won't go on your record as long as you don't get another ticket within the next six months. This speeding ticket BS is all about the money and nothing else.

I just got a tint ticket for $13X for 20% (17% metered).

They stalked me and followed me as I left my gym.

Now THAT is some BS.

the first ticket was crossing hazard lines (and it 3 effing points) and i have another hearing for a 78 in a 45. which is total bs bc it was a motorcycle cop and he wasnt even on his bike and SOMEHOW he clocked me. I think he clocked the guy infront of me bc i know i wasnt doing no 78. maybe 60 at most. butttt im not jacking this thread to talk about my tickets lol.

Yeah they're pretty F-ing mean when it comes to tint.

If the cop doesn't show up when you go to court you stand a good chance.

:crying:

It comes with the territory of having illegal tint.

I called allstate yesterday, and for the exact same coverage that I would have with statefarm, they wanted $650 more every 6 months. I dont have any idea what allstate agent you found. I gues it is cause i live in New Orleans.

I found one who knows how to apply the discounts to maximum effect. She is the daughter of the guy who sold me my Z06 at the dealership.

I pay 1126/6 month with progressive, 2 speeding ticket, not with z.
100k/300k, 500 deductible.
im 23 and live in snowy Indiana. Z is my DD

Cops get 3 tries to make it to court. They schedule all their court-appearances for that officer on one day. I would obviously lose the case, pay the fine AND court-cost, AND probably be forced to remove the tint under threat of further harassment.

I'll just pay the fine.

Traffic court varies from state to state. In my state, you're a fool if you don't go. The worst that will happen is that a judge will lower the fine by court cost, so you're no worse off. I've seen them decrease the number of points, give Probation Before Judgment, and throw the case out if the officer isn't there on the first appearance. Granted, if you reschedule your court date, the officer is allowed to miss.

My mom got a speeding ticket and rescheduled the court date. On the rescheduled date, the officer didn't show up so it was thrown out. How long do accidents/tickets stay on your record and affect your insurance? I have a ticket from 2.5 years ago and an accident last year.

in NY i think its three years

I'm with you Jeff. My insurance gave me the same BS last month. 23 years of driving with no moving violations and only two accidents and they raise my rates because of other idiots. :mad:

If you're going to raise my rates, do it because I'm an idiot, not because someone else is. :icon14:

yea, see.... no one's rates are going DOWN unless they just turned 25, or switched companies. When you take out all the other variables like age, location, carrier etc, you see that the rates on our cars have gone up.

now lets get back to talking about VDC and 300zx twin turbos. :bowrofl:

wah wah wah

im thinking 486rwhp twin turbos of love

I only pay $830 a yr. But I'm 49. I'll pay 1600 to be 22 again though:icon17:

How the hell does a 22 YO afford one of these and that ins???

Im 21

i have a nice job on wall street...(just stating to avoid "parents pay for it comments")

my car payments (w/ insurance) are over $600 a month though :shakes head:

I pay about...
 

I pay about $800 a year for my Z but I'm over the hill (State Farm). I was beginning to wonder why, after purchasing my Z in late 2009, I have seen maybe one on the road in the Kansas City metro area. I have seen only a few 350s and one 370. They must all be at the body shops.

I live in long island, and ive only seen 4 since 2009

My insurance when up but was a combination of rates increased and other police related issues.

Plus December 2010 was not a good driving month for me...and I will leave it at that.

:driving: what modifications from stock are you planning/ do you already have that you're planning to get those numbers with?

well my initial quote was 1200 and thats what i had been paying... so you can understand my frustration.... but, i have a lot of savings, worked full time for my last 2 years of college, i work in finance now and i live at home with my parents (i could move out, and i will once it affects my quality of life, but as of now it doesn't bother me at all) and no rent/mortgage helps me save a lot of money, even with the cars. I also put a lot down on my 370z, so the payment is very low.

as far as paying 1600 to be 22, thats why i'm not too upset.... can't take things for granted. Yea, Insurance wants to penalize me because i'm a 22 year old single male driving a sports car... but hey, i'm a 22 year old single male driving a sports car... and that's not a bad place to be. i'll pay high premiums for the next 2 years (i turn 23 in about 3 weeks) and then i'll join the ranks of you low insurance premium having old men :p

Jeff, this is the problem.

No need to defend yourself. Everyone's situation is different. Also, have you seen how much rent/houses cost on LI. Most people's salary will barely cover it after general expenses. Not to mention the insane taxes compared to the rest of the country. This crappy economy doesn't help either.

yea, i just wanted to convey that although i'm living home, i'm NOT miserable and just doing it so i can buy cars. and :iagree: property on long island is insanely expensive.

But that's because we all want to live near you. If you moved to Montana tomorrow, the cost of living would raise there. In fact, they may even change the state's name to Jeff.

Top gear already made a car in honor of Geoff Blue.

Dude, I'm ready for montana RIGHT NAO!

they changed the name to Montana from Jeff 7 years ago when i moved away from there. True story

only 370z in montana ftw

things are expensive in california but not that expensive compared to NY. i just renewed my car insurance and it was 1/4 of what they charged Jeff.
