I'm a 41-year old, highly compensated, somewhat less-educated developer. (I guess I'm pretty good at what I do, they keep giving me more money ;) ). I haven't had an accident or ticket. Ever. In 25 years of driving. I drive one of these:

Will barely get up to 70, but ain't she cool? In an ugly, bulldog, kind of way...

Anyway, I digress. My point is, I'd love to see the actuarial tables on me. Living in TN doesn't help my rates, though. We can sure build cars here, but we ain't very good at driving them!

Hey, you can continue to feel really cool about your ride. Out here in CA, those things are 'da bomb'. Folks are getting them "slammed" (we used to say "dropped") and "pimped out" (read "loaded") with large diameter dynamic wheels ("spinners" to use the vernacular), shod with low-profile tires, wild custom paint and graphics, tinted glass, and audio/video systems that shame the local movie theaters.

So, bro, be cool; you hip widdout even tryin. Word.

If you want to continue having a good relationship with your insurer, you'd better let them know of any modifications, such a being a mobile DJ mobile

I'm a 41-year old, highly compensated, somewhat less-educated developer (driving a Scion xB).

I have the same car (two xBs, actually). The funny thing is, Toyota created the Scion brand to be a low-cost leader to get younger people to buy Toyota. The mean age of people buying Scion xBs is, you guessed it, 42 years old.

Not that Toyota won't take the money. But the idea that Scion would be a youth brand has kind of fizzled. It is funny to stand around the Scion showroom with all the flashing lights and loud music watching middle aged men buying cars.
