and if they do .. so? are you somehow better because you put sweat equity into it?

I never really understood that comment, except maybe from somebody who was envious but I'm not accusing you of that, merely trying to understand your point, I guess.

Well my secret is... I'm buying a c5 tomorrow. Payments are about 500 for me i had somewhat of a large deposit.
But my monthly bill for insurance is 90 bucks!! lol I am 22 got 2 speeding tickets, 51% accident My fault. young days lol almost cleared though.

I am w/farmers and mother and I have a family plan therefor I insure the car on her name but get to drive/crash it legaly =) just find a loophole in the system and you will make it! I am currently insured on a old 83 kawasaki bike that i dont' ride and pay maybe 500 bucks a year it just sits there and its a way to cheat the system =)

yeh .. we have something similar .. i'm insured on all 5 of our cars. But my insurance company got smart and redid all their stuff so they no longer assign drivers to cars, instead they evaluate all the clients on the policy as a whole.

I should rephrase that. I don't spend ALL my money on beer. I don't think you can be a college student and not go out and party on the weekends.
