Good idea. On an off-topic subject, I should mention that after doing Internet comparisons with a couple of insurance companies, I got quoted from $690 to $1400 on my car insurance. I own a VW New Beetle that's six years old and I am a driver insurance companies should be banging the doors down for. I have no traffic tickets, no DWIs, no DUI's and no accidents. What gives? You can have a perfect record and good insurance is still hard to obtain at a reasonable price. I feel for the kid.

So much depends on where you live. My wife and I live in a part of Virginia that has a very low accident rate, minimal congestion (compared to the larger areas), and fairly low repair rates. She has one speeding ticket. The two of us are insured for two vehicles and we pay about the same amount as your lowest price for one person and one car.

I agree, and a lot of blame can be put at the feet of government.

Yes, car insurance is getting really expensive. The closer you live to a large city, the more expensive it gets. I have GEICO and they do the best for my area. (and I don't even write with GEICO, but they beat my companies rates, LOL)
