Your insurance should be cheap since you're married. My insurance quote when I had my BRZ on order was ~$540/6m, and I'm single so I get a complimentary rate jack.

Keep shopping 'til you get a rational quote. I still get $3k/6m quotes from State Farm, which is a joke and a half. Some companies simply don't want your business. Try Allstate, Progressive, and Nationwide to start.

My wife and I have three cars.. 2012 Sonata that she drives, a 98 Civic that I daily drive, and the 13 BRZ that I hardly ever drive. I should be top tier based on age, family, credit, and driving history, etc.

The quote I got was from Farmers..

Anyone have a good, reasonable insurance company they can recommend?

Geico was able to do my BRZ, Land Rover and BMW 5 series for 412 a month...i think on its own BRZ was 210/month...when i got it though it didnt have BRZ as an option is its listed as subaru-other. the day i got it and when a mini van ran a red light and did some damage, having it listed as other did not affect anything and it was promptly fixed

Im in Novi and I just picked up my BRZ last friday, look forward to seeing some other BRZ/FRS.

I did see a white FRS in a industrial park in Wixom a month or two ago, it was off Beck road. Anyone here?

In Novi as well. Keep your eyes out for a SWP BRZ Limited!

Hey everyone!

I just put my order in for my FR-S and it should show up in June. I live outside of Ann Arbor in Manchester...I think I will be the only one in my town that will have one so I will be easy to spot if anyone ever is out this way.

Look forward to going to a meet at some point and meeting people!

Really? I thought at this point you could walk into a dealership and get a FR-S.... they are back-ordered through June?!

Wow... wonder what the wait period is these days for a BRZ.

regardless, welcome!

Hey everyone, I'm doing a road trip from Vegas to the metro Detroit area around April 12-19th. I was wondering if there is a car meet around that time?

I'm originally from Detroit. Driving up for a friends wedding, I figured I'll bring my dog with me this time, so road trip it is!

No no they are on the lot there is no shortage--my situation is a little different since I ordered one through work. That's why my wait period is so long.
