Maybe someone can tell me why it would cost less to insure a Limited than a Premium....

for me StateFarm I'm 26 with no bad driving record at all and great credit.

120$ for BRZ(prem) Increased from 100$ last year when car first released( if during quote I chose Limited it's actually 110$ I don't get why ...)

126$ for FRZ Increased from 90$ last year when car first released

and for comparison I pay 88$ for my Forester and in 2010 when I last owned a performace car and I wasn't this old I paid 124$ for a Civic Si.

So I've come to the conclusion that either, someone is totally effing it up for me driving these cars like crap or this is just to be expected with all the reviews out there.

My best guess is that insurance companies underrated the risk of the FT86, which is understandable given the little information there is about this car. It's easier for insurance companies to give an initial lower insurance premium to "lure" in the customer since no one likes shopping for insurance rates.

My guess:

Limited is more expensive, therefore, one could argue that a more "mature" person would buy it.

Premium is less expensive, therefore, one could argue that more a less "mature" person would buy it.

In general, less "mature" people have a higher risk of getting into an accident.

Higher risk = higher premium

Well this is to be expected for me at least around the 100$ to $120 dollar range, which isn't that different from my peers of the same age, I have a friend here with a Limited that pays 90$ another pays $128 for an FRS, but across the board FRS has a higher insurance rate. I mean if this is the case I might as well pay alittle more for a Limited. I got a feeling 10 anni is gonna cost people even more.

I wouldn't be able to afford my own insurance without working full time this summer and using all of the money to pay for insurance...Screw being 18. I don't even have a single accident/ticket...

The worst one I had to write was a research paper on spinalcerabellar ataxia for physiology. It had to be single spaced, 15 pages, cover page and reference list did not count.

I wanted to stab myself.

And I believe TOC (table of content) is out of the question, right?

There is a systematic way for technical writing, no matter if you are writing 4 page IEEE paper or 400 pages book. It goes as the following:

* Write down all your points to the paper (brainstorming). The points need not be coherent at all.
* Organize the points by shuffling around to make it coherent.
* Elaborate each point further and further with paragraphs and paragraphs. Add graphs as you see fit.
* Review the document again for coherence.
* Finish up your introduction, which should cover the whole paper in a glimpse
* Finish your conclusion, which should be apparent based on all the statements you made throughout the paper.

Depends on the subject, when you are done with this, you are wondering why 15 pages is not enough to cover your points.

Oh, one thing I should say: do not copy-paste text from your reference. If you think it is better to illustrate the idea, make sure to include reference and use italic text to indicate that is from the reference. In my college days I have seen so many people blindly copy-paste text from reference and submit it as their own. It is called plagiarism.

Good luck!

We once owned a '98 Chevy Lumina LTZ (it had a spoiler, so was race car) that to replace the battery you had to use a quick disconnect on the auto transmission cable. Problem was, the cable wasn't keyed so if you didn't mark it you could put it back together in a fashion where the shifter and the transmission were "out of synch".

Not realizing this, the first time I changed the battery I almost drove through the garage wall thinking I was in "R", but I was in "L". Took me forever to figure out what I had done, and then find the correct orientation.

It'd be a great gag if it weren't so dangerous.

I was somewhat disappointed to see traffic backed up stupidly this morning, but I really didn't care that I was late anymore once I saw the fact it was two cars and a motorcycle.

Hopefully the guy is alright.....never good to see a bike down on the interstate.

generally it's just morons who can't leave enough space surprise buttsecksing each other's cars....granted though, apparently leaving any amount of space in atlanta is an invitation for some jackass to change lanes on top of you.

Morning! so I had a dream I owned a Fortune Cookie factory, and put "Rape is just around the corner" in this months batch of fortunes.

I woke up, and I have the urge to make this happen........the fortune cookie prints...not the rape...although i will invite the wife for raping later. if she says "No", she will have activated my trap card.

Don't forget about the corner part to make it interesting...

Just don't sell your prints to India, where this thing happens almost daily in reality.
