well, i do have 9 penalty points on my licence, the maximum allowed being 11 before a ban is enforced. i accrued the 9 points for speeding, each offense carrying a 3 point penalty. perhaps an f430 isn't a good idea! :hehe:

win it, sell it, buy a flat and start your real estate empire. :victory:

Keeps my premiums relatively low. ;)

OMG, considering I've had my car hit and run twice with $1300+ in damage each time, I can't do that high of a deductible. I have a $500 deductible and that's high enough....

Sheesh, I have pretty much the minimum for full coverage. I paid my car off and kept the full b/c I don't wanna be [too] stuck if my car gets hit or stolen. But, hell, due to my age, I pay a lot in car insurance. I pay ~$185/month. :puppydog: I have no at-fault accidents, been driving for 6+ years, no moving violations, a couple lame discounts, and limited tort. But.....I'm under 25 and apparently that's supposed to be some magic number. Next time I renew I'll be 25 so here's hopin'.

I don't know what's so magical about 25, but I can't say it made much of a difference for me...

Of course, that was a long time ago, so I don't remember. :sweat:

I will let you all know when it's here and installed :)

Was I not born yet when you were 25? :bonk:

We are supposed to be some assigned risk if we are under 25. I think that's everywhere but it's like that in Pennsylvania. Yeah, like my lead foot will go away in 4 months.... :hehe:

My premium only went down a total of 5 cents per month this term. WTF? Whoop-dee-doo, a whole 30 cents saved. :beatyou:
