Well, I'm 18. Thats probably the biggest part. I am going to see what
it would be in my Dads name, but I know it will still be high just
because I'm on their policy. Our insurance company is Farmers
Insurance, I think I will call around. I've seen an ad on TV for
Geico Insurance, anyone know anything about them? They say they can
get you a really good deal. (Dont they all?)
