I know a cop and he tells me they 'profile' all the time...

That explains the Prius C.

THANKS! Nice researching!!!!!!!
It pretty much says the same thing as we all did here. Good to know that the minimum number of people was 50 though.
That does however mean that at least 50 people still drive Topazes and actually want an insurance quote!

I think that article is Shennanigans too.

You mean to tell me that there was enough people to request insurance quotes for a VW Rabbit and Mercury Topaz from January 2013 to June 2014 to make that list?

Autoblog is fail reading. They should be perma-banned from the interwebz.

Maybe you failed to read the actual press release:

Insurance.com analyzed online quote information submitted by 557,238 drivers Jan. 1, 2013, to July 2014; rankings were calculated on models for which more than 50 quotes were sought.

Straight from the source:

When a car appeals to young idiots it's going to get a lot of tickets.

Really? A .com, an insurance.com at that, did a "test" where there was enough of a sample-size of people requesting insurance quotes for the Rabbit and Topaz (cars that are no longer in production) to make the worst 20 vehicles for tickets?

Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

Did you know the FR-S is going Turbo next year? Thats probably why they have such a high ticket rate.

You are saying that you don't believe the data which was my point in the first place, the data is flawed and therefore the study is flawed. I don't understand what you're trying to get at so I'm not going to argue this with you further.

Ya the data is not only flawed it is sort of hilarious!
Wonder how many the Topaz citations were for not having insurance? That would certainly explain why so many were suddenly looking for quotes!

makes sense...I got busted twice and towed once in my brz. Then karma bit me in the ass and decided my car should be smashed to smithereens by a car who blasted through an intersection.

Got pulled over last Friday for doing 88 on a 65 freeway.


Sorry if I'm not helping out with this statistic.

I totally understood your post. But you tried to rebuke a BS post by siting a BS website.

So please. Stop posting.

BS website? How about you stop trolling and fact check before posting. insurance.com is where the data and study came from... I was pointing out where it came from (aka the press release), and why it was flawed (autoblog's article, which I don't know why you have a problem with that).

Please. save yourself from further embarrassment.

I said stop posting.

Autoblog is hardly an authority. That is what I am saying, I am not saying "the source is credible and autoblog is wrong".

So before you go quoting me and accusing me of not being literate, you need to l2english.

No where in this thread have I mentioned that insurance.com was correct. I Did say that the autoblog article was shennanigans. Which you got all butt hurt and thought you'd flap your gums.
