They want like $900/6 mo for a crown vic, $970 for a Chrysler 300 LX, and $1100 for a charger R/T. It sucks being 21. My tickets shouldn't show up on the insurance either. I'm currently on my parents insurance, but once I find a real job I'm going out on my own. I think my parents pay $1200 for the 3 of us and 4 vehicles insured lol.
I like the convenience of a truck and the feeling of safety it gives me though.

Well gtos blow in the snow if they have a stage 3 clutch mine didn't do so hot in snow only took it out once cause my truck was down, I couldn't believe it either on my insurance too and I'm 24 which still is 21 to insurance, I picked up my 04 for 9500 this time last year and was all done. I just put tires on it every couple weeks was havn to much fun with it and I felt really safe in mine the seats just hug you in like racing seats. for my 96 chevy 1500 and 04 gto I was paying 1200 a year both full coverage but I don't have any tickets or violations besides a DUI when I was 16

The thing that makes a GTO bad for performance, not that there aren’t some mighty quick ones is the same thing that makes them a pretty stout car, is all the cast iron that is used in the suspension instead of aluminum or stamped steel. From everything I’ve ever heard the roads Down Under are not quite the same as they are here and the typical vehicle built to US standards wouldn’t live a very long rattle-free life. They seem to be pretty decent little cars if you can get around the lack of exterior styling, IE looks like a bigger Cavalier.
Of course for those of us state-side there are plenty of components to lighten them back up and strengthen the drive-train even more.

I have a 2005 Z71 with the L33. Mods=Diablosport Predator, custom exhaust, K&N drop in, and 285/70/17 BFG Mud Terrains. I average 18.5 a week driving 2 lane roads to and from work @ 60MPH. On the interstate running 72 I lose 1-1.5 mpg. My wife has a 2008 Impala SS(LS4 5.3 V8). She works near where I do(across town) and averages 22-23 for the week. On a long trip my truck will get 19, her car 26. Even though it's FWD, the Imp is still fun to drive, has a nice V8 rumble, and is a full size car. I would drive her car everyday, if my truck would still be sitting there for when I need a truck.

Breakdown cases are increasing day by day and therefore it has been become important to get a car Insurance cover. The important reason behind car insurance is increasing number of old vehicles. The coverage range is depends on the premium paid and the provisions in the policy.
