I heard that our neighbours to the south actually pay less to insure their F-bodies.

BJM, I am from Toronto, more specifically Scarborough, if that matters. I would like to own both an STi and WS6 at some point in my life, but overall costs will ultimately determine which one I get first.

I'm thinking the area I live in affects insurance the most, because I got another quote, this time using my dad's information and while it was obviously much cheaper than mine, the T/A was still about $1K more to insure.

If you are bringing a car from the USA back to Canada then reading my posts in this thread below might help you. I've done it twice now.
