Those mileage claims never seem to be true when you actually drive the car =\

New Jersey isn't a city. I'll be getting more highway miles than city miles driving around here.

I can't get on NJ Manufact. I'm to young.
I have State Farm, and I pay 175 a month. Thats for my truck(s10 blazer), under my own name, and just liability. It blows.

Finally got it. It drives great. Obviously it's not incredibly fast, but still it's not too slow either. It corners very well too.

Boy, your guys insurance is cheap. I'm paying a little over $3500 a year on the Mazda alone, forget the Cobra (see:  ). They are both in my father's name with a $1000 deductible.
But, I do have full coverage with the maximum umbrella, costs depends on how much coverage you have.
Here's the kicker. My uncle pays $200 a year for both the Viper and '32 Ford with the same policy.
