Gonna dabble in the Subaru community with a true 3” BRZ axleback.

Going to finish the prototype next week & make a YouTube video or two to judge interest. Eventually if the axle back gains traction I might headers, the rest of the CBE or possibly a turbo set up.

Cancelled registration on it because I decided to not be a pawn to the law of "must have insurance as required by law." Insurance inflation went too far this time and I can't afford $700 month insurance payments, nor do I want to. Treating customers like we are ATM's and they can just punch it whatever number they feel like. FUCK them greedy ass bitches . Thanks for pushing me into my dark side where I think evil things.

$700/month is outrageous.

Being an uninsured driver could get even more expensive tho, good luck man, sounds like a shitty situation.

Honestly I dont give a shit. I believe in a fair price for a service, but not price gouging just because they can. I have VW's, not Porsche's.

With those prices the Porsche would be 7 grand a month to insure

That's 8,400/year.

These cars are worth between 18-28K.

What the fuck?

I assume you've been shopping around for a better rate?

Installed an arm fmic and bmp

7.5 headlights. Everything went smoothly right up until it was time to put the tow hook license plate bracket on….and I used too much force and the damn thing snapped…$&@/;- now i have to figure out how to get it off. Not going to be easy on account of my Neanderthal self over torquing it. At least the fmic and headlights work.

Didn't you say it was $3,200/6mo? That's still a lot but not $700/mo...
And you should probably clarify for people here that's for 2 cars.
I'm going to guess that Houston has higher than average insurance costs too.

Yes I was looking around, all the other major companies are higher than Geico, the smaller companies declined to cover it.

I pay $650/ 6months on two cars.

Unless his other car is one-off supercar I don't see why rates would be that high, even adjusting for region.

Its about 540.month, but because I paid late last month they are requiring future payments pro-rated in addition to the 540. I am actually in College Station, home of Texas A&M University- College Town. They claim that is the reason for the increase. Also, my Jetta is indeed on this policy and is only about $65/ month of that equation. The GTI is the rest of it.

Is it your driving record?

 

[Desslok]

Yup... me, too!


I've worked in the dark by using work lights. Working in the cold really blows and rain is a total show-stopper. I've seen a bit of rain while overhauling my communications setup...

Great Googely Moogely!
