Sounds like we're wasting our money because your own insurance policies aren't half so well funded...
Yikes, that's really, really high. In the US I think the minimum required insurance is around $300k for liability - possibly less?

My BRZ's coverage is $250k/$500k/$100k for damage to others (individual/total incident/property)
$250 deductible for collision, $0 for comprehensive (vandalism, glass, etc)
Liberty Mutual is my carrier (switched to them in February). I have the following discounts:
-Early Shopper
-New Move
-Electronic Funds Transfer
-Multi-policy
-Multi-car
-LM Advantage

I don't even know what half of those mean
I pay $890/year for the BRZ

33 year old single male, Raleigh, NC 2703 zip code. Car is garaged. I have 2 single vehicle at fault accidents currently on my record (claims of $1500 and $4500)

When I switched from the S2000 to the BRZ my cost went up like $5-6/mo
