New Set of Wheels

[Chris of the Dale]

Nice car. And $3000 per annum is expensive for insurance? I live in Canada, and currently new drivers pay between $5000-$8000 per annum. Just remember to get your odometer and spedometer changed if you upgrade to bigger tires, friend of mine forgot too [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

We're talking amounts in different currency here, so how much do we really understand? I pay about $2000-3000 US per year, but that includes collision insurance on a 2002 vehicle.

Well i'm talking about the cost it is to be covered as a secondary under your parents insurance.

Is it just me or is there something missing from this picture. Registration plates? Don't think you can hide from the ever watchfull eye of the general!

[Arledrian]

Wasn't planning on hoodwinking you for a second, general; those are the dealer's pics, not mine. I've had to wait a few days with getting the plates, but I'm definitely getting them sorted next week. I'm going for "m0t0wn" - I hope that's still available. My state is emptier than a dumb blonde's head, so I think I've got a good chance. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Chris and TL - I'm paying $175 a month in insurance for this car. I think that's pretty steep, but I really can't find anything cheaper. [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]

Knock of a couple of wheels, ditch the doors and roof and you could be onto something [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]

Arledrian, you've got me on the straight away, but as soon as we turn to the off road section of the race....

You're mine baby. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I think its safe to say that if you don't have a VR6 (the 6 cyl engine) that you must have the 4 cyl Turbo. And if you are getting your 4 cyl turbo up to 125mph, there is no doubt in my mind that your car has been 'chip-tuned', something thats generally a no-no waranty-wise in the US.

(but since VW dealers can't detect the difference, have fun!)
