Insurance
Hello my name is Eric Burns and I am 19 years old and am looking into buying a 2001 corvette. I am ready to pull the trigger to buy one but i am concerned how much the insurance will be. I plan on using this car as a learning experience to learn more about LS motors and using this car to drive on the weekend for fun. Are there any insurance plans that wont kill my pocket?

I registered my vette in my fathers name on his policy and saved money, however this was 50yrs ago. Your agent can likely help you more than I can. Also shop around.
