Hum, think we are gonna go shop for insurance before I go onto my SO's policy, I have no idea why her premium is so high (nearly $950 a year) as she has no accidents and has the good driver bonus on her policy. Could it be the car? Pontiac Gran Prix, faster cars back in Ireland are loaded due to their performance?
The coverage on the policy is pretty good, includes towing etc but we pay $125 for 8 months of the year. I got the quote originally through an online web site when we moved here first.
Maybe it is just California prices

Don't feel bad. I pay $1,422 a year on a 2004 Honda Accord, and that's with my little discounts here and there.

DANG... why so much??
In Ireland I had what we call "fully comprehensive" insurance, basically covers you for EVERYTHING, no cap on claims and cost be $350 a year, the policies there are much better than anything you can buy here.

Congratulations to you both!
Mr. Pink studied the Rules of the Road for several weeks before he went to take his test. We had all our documentation ready to hand over, but the minute he started speaking, the lady behind the counter looked at me google-eyed and crooned, "don't you just *love* his accent?"
I had brought a book to read for when he took the driving part of the exam, and I swear he was gone literally 5 minutes. He came walking in, smiling, but I thought for certain he must have crashed the car in those five minutes---why didn't it take longer?
I suppose it was because he was a licensed driver for a long time in the UK and had driven with me quite a bit before taking the test. Or maybe it was just his accent.
Congratulations again---another hurdle jumped!
