Progressive may be your best bet, I bought my Z28 when I was about 20, for full coverage, it came to about $350 a month, ridiculous yes, but any other company I looked at was almost double that.

Heres what I did I am also an 18 yo male. We titled the car under both my name and my fathers name ( I am primary ) Then we tacked my car onto his insurance so I get all the multiple policy benefits and neat stuff like that resulting in a much lower premium. Plus I have a perfect driving record. I only pay about 100 bucks a month (shut up older guys!!) through state farm although it is only for liability and comprehensive with a 250 deductible. Your best bet is to talk to your current insurance agent and see what they can do for you, if you have been with them long enough they will more than likely bend over backwards for you!

Good luck!

Yep... iirc from when I looked it up a few months ago, you have to either be currently in the military, or one of your parents already be a USAA member.

Geico... highest coverage possible w/o an umbrella policy, $1,000 every 6 months for my camaro and my 93 civic (civic dropped insurance dramatically).
