but you have the best year for a V...and got it brand new

if it makes you feel any better, my payment is up there and the insurance for me (24 and single) isnt the lowest out there. but thank god for USAA, because a normal insurance company rates are almost double what i am paying through USAA.

I know how it feels....I had a Taco once that I bought new and was paying $500/mo for it and was selling the same trucks 2 years later to people with marginal credit for $300-$350/ mo....Made me REALLY think about that gap coverage...ahahahaaaaa. Last year I hit 30, got remarried and had 3 tickets and a wreck all come off my dmv record in 6 mos time.....Insurance dropped to less than half it was. Hoorayyy one for the old guys....

the cheapest i could get insurance for the V and my truck with other companies was about 2000 bucks for 6 months, USAA i am paying 1200. and now i am 6 months from hitting the big 25, so i am looking forward to that rate decrease.

I'm going to work on my engine cover this weekend.
As you can see in one of the picture the clips will still be attached to the cover.

You remove the strut tower brace.
There are 3 bolts on each side of the strut tower.
That it. EASY.
