Your paying $1700 USD a year for a Jeep? I pay about half that for the WRX, and I'm the same age and its considered a "risky" car.

my rate has been dropping each of last two 6 mo periods... but not much

on my 24th, it drops down to 500-600/year it all depends on the insurance company. it definately helps i have 0 tickets and such... i know i have a better deal then any of my other friends

Just watched this vid, one of the blokes kept zooming on the camera, couldnt get a sense of speed then, but the last shots were good, you were flying by then

and i thought you were going to go off the road for sure for a second, but well saved there

Do you have any track time video? or its all street racing vids?

is your insurance company a 25 yr. bias? mine sets back @ 24... i've heard some are set at 26 even... i've been quoted 2100/year @21 for a WRX... is there that many more accidents/thefts in delaware?

25 yr bias, but the answer to your accidents question is apparently yes. I dont see that many accidents, but we do have a disproportianently large amount of traffic around these parts. Being surrounded by 3 major cities with 2 more within 100 miles from here does that. (baltimore : 30-40 miles... philly: 30-40 miles... wilmington: 10 miles...)

Yeah.. Atlanta is the size of delaware.. Its funny cause where Im at in the middle of all this crap theres nothing.. But the traffic from one to the other on a day to day basis is maddening.

Wilmington= small city of 77 000
Philadelphia metropolitin area= 6.2 million people (1.4 in the city)
Baltimore= 651,154
The town I live in has 28,547 people.

I have people at work that commute from each of these locations. We're only 2 hrs drive from dc and nycity too, so trucking is big as well. Thats why our insurance is obscene.
