its the internet...telling people not to vent is like telling the wall to make you a cup of coffee

 

While insurance rates going up arent going to affect me owning the car or not, it still does suck to have rates go up 15% at one time when I havent had any claims or tickets. If I am careful, my rates should not have to go up just because of other peoples driving.

 

You are welcome. The mini van driver who caused the wreck told me to tell you personally that he was sorry for your increase.

 

Hmm.. I'd like to buy one of those walls please.

 

Yeah I got got my 6 mo renewal notice a few minutes ago and almost spilled hot tea on myself when I saw the increase..... although its not an astronomical amout it kinda made me annoyed cuz that extra $24 I have to spend could have been used for 3/4 a tank of gas, or maybe 4-5 happy meals at McDonalds

 

actully they had one at SEMA...
















J/K...but im sure some day they will

 

I can't even insure my Evo, its under my rents name and i am not even a secondary driver.

 

so how do you drive it legally then???

 

well, look at the bright side. because it is costing you 24 dollars more a year, and thats such a huge weight out of your pocket... i bet the weight savings alone will make more then a 24 dollar/year savings.

lets look at the math...:

assume you drive 15,000 miles a year and get 20 mpg. and gas averages 2.20/gallon.

that will cost you $1650 dollars a year in gas.

now lets assume you save 24 dollars/year in gas by the reduced weight...

that means you are now getting 20.29 mpg.

certainly the weight difference of 24 dollars in pennies can cost you .29mpg difference over the course of a year.

so look at the bright side, without dragging all those pennies around, you'll save 24 on gas money, but be spending it on insurance.... for a net difference of 0.

 

I pay $285 a month becasue of the same problem. If i would have bought the 545 bmw it would only cost me $115 a month.

This is some Bull S**t

 

Nice logic.

There are so many f'n whining threads.. I thought I should get involved with one.

Waawaa I got a speeding ticket waawaaa I can't get warranty with a 35R waaaaaaaa mommy wont let me drive the evo this weekend. It's getting ridiculas... this guy has a valid point but you're right it's like 20 bucks.

 

20 bucks? Holy crap. Big deal. I make about 15k a year (student) and Im about to get an evo. Quite *****ing about it, im sure you make 5x me.

mine doubled over the last year and a half. 28 yrs old no tickets, no accidents. When I got mine in '04, I do not beleive that Erie insurance knew what an evo was and I think that is the reason.

 

You make $15K a year and you're gonna buy a $30K plus EVO??? How are ya gonna pull that off??? or is mommy gonna pay for it?

 

Wow that sucks for you. Mine actually went down a hundred bucks a year and I live in queens too. haha
