Well. Who's all grown up now?

Someone has just purchased herself her first independent auto insurance policy.
From an excessively chatty Texan. (My bank, USAA, is located in San Antonio. I'm in it through my dad-- it's the bank that the U.S. Armed Forces uses. So my banking brochures (you know how they send you stuff about investments and insurance and getting loans and stuff) is all a little weird in tone-- containing FAQs on preparing for deployment, and instead of having carefully-multiethnic yuppies in the ad photos, I have carefully-multiethnic... Soldiers. I kind of like it.)

Anyhow. I am now insured. And feeling... poor. $88 a month just to make sure I don't wind up in jail! What a racket. (At least it was cheaper than the quote had been.)

Yup, i'se all growed up. And broke.

haha Yeah USAA the material sent from USAA is always amusing.. Your luck your first one was only $88 my first policy from them was just over 200 a month >.< now it's down to about 80 heh

$200?? Oh my.

well. 1) I'm a woman. 2) I'm 25. 3) I've only got one speeding ticket still on my record. 4) I've only been in one accident which wasn't ruled my fault. 5) I don't expect to drive the car more than a couple thousand miles a year. And 6), I flirted shamelessly with the insurance agent. I don't know if that last part helped at all... I've never been good at that sort of thing, though one of my sisters claims to have gotten her car past a German car inspection (very stringent) by wearing a low-cut shirt and bending over a lot...

sigh. It's still a lot of money, but the car will enable me to find and keep a job. That's what I tell myself. Muh.

I think i was screwed by 1) Male 2) 23 when I got the policy 3) Shitloads of speeding tickets (no accidents though) 4) Roadtrips up the wazoo 5) The insurance agent was male... and yeah I ain't going there

Oh well it's dropped :) Especially now that i have no speeding tickets on my record anymore.

Hmm. I think I'm getting screwed. I pay $83/mth, and I have a perfect record.
