Auto Insurance...
About how much do you think I should pay on auto insurance for a 1998+ LS1? I'm 18 and have one speeding ticket. Progressive quoted something like 7k a year! Does this sound about right? At this point I think I need to wait until Im 21 or so, which sucks and I dont want to do. What else does everyone else pay?

I'm 22 with a 2001 SS. Full coverage with a $1000 deductable is 600 every 6 months. Full coverage with a $500 deduct is 700 every 6 months. Liability is $250 every 6 months. I opted for the full coverage with $1000 deduct at $600 every 6 months.
good luck with your insurance...sounds pretty damn steep.

Progressive insurance bases its rates in part on your credit score, so if your credit isn't very good, then that could hurt you for Progressive and since you are only 18, it is highly doubtful that you have much credit.

Hey try allstate and state farm they tend to be the lowest (especially if you have good grades) also check esurance, I am 18 also but have a perfect driving record... My insurance is 624.78 for 6 months with liability and comprehensive w/ 250 deductible. Collision might put it somewhere around 5000 - 5500 maybe a bit more but 7000 sounds WAY high

Now I pay about $540 every 6 months with their gone away at college plan (if I only drive my car where I live and not to school) Go State Farm!!!
