Well my insurance is even less than alot of people I know, I get an insurance discount for having a good GPA in school, as well as doing countless cost-reducing classes and videos. Plus my record is clean...

OFB, Old Fat & Bald, been fifty for a couple of years, no mid-life crisis just ongoing immaturity. Owned my first P-car at 21, several since, have a 986 because it was a sunny friday and it was yellow, been dying on the depreciation curve since. For fun I drive my 911, for work I use the 986, they are all just cars.

I just got my bill from my insurance company with my premium readjusted after I added my Boxster. It seems to have gone up at least $50/month. I'm 35 years old, no at-fault accidents ever, been with State Farm since I was 15, and I don't think there are any tickets still on my record at all. This is the most my insurance has gone up for any car I've ever owned. I don't think it was even this high when I had two cars before (Explorer and Lexus SUV). Guess this one's just in a higher risk class or something. I know it's worth more, but come on, not that much more!

$650!!! Dang, that's steep! But now my insurance is higher than yours I think and I'm a lot older. Ridiculous. I'm sure our insurance in general is just higher here though.

You pay $250 every six months?!? Did I read that correctly?
Mine is $1,370.22 every six months. That's with multiline discount, antitheft discount, vehicle safety discount, and accident-free discount.
But then I live in New Orleans where someone was mugged at 9:00 a.m. about a block from where I live by thieves driving a stolen car.

Do the math
Truman was president when I was born. 
Bought an '02 Boxster about a month ago. Been looking at them for a year or so and decided to grab one before I am too old to really enjoy it! Have a '04 A4 and a '94 Miata (which I need to sell). The insurance on the Boxster is about the same as the A4.
First auto I ever owned was a '68 MGB (BRG with wire wheels) back in college not counting the blue Champion pedal car back in the day. And, yea, I still have the Champion.
BTW, first post here. Been browsing a little to learn more about this fun trouble mobile I now have.

I'm 67, will be 68 in August. My first car was a 1963 Beetle. Traded it five months after I bought it for a 1964 MGB. Kept it until I bought a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible. Beautiful car, Saturn Gold with a white interior and a white top. Kept it until 1991 when I bought a 1990 Mazda Miata. I have owned two other Miatas. Bought my present car in Aug of last year.
As you can see, I love convertibles.

Even your work car is black and white. What are you going to do if you ever become a detective and get a blue car? oh, no!
