I don't have my license yet (well.. my full license i have my g1.)
and because of this I have to basically rely on friends or cab it everywhere.
I was thinking about getting my g2, but I have had absolutely no road experience, so I have to get some of that... gah I have to get someone to teach me.
everyone says lately its not even worth it though, insurance is going to be like 400 a month, and gas about the same, not to mention leasing a cab or even a scrapper (again hard on the gas)

Discuss
do you guys think its worth it?
Anyone here drive?
anyone here own their own car?

I got my license this year. I drive a rather nice sports car. I live in Florida. My insurance is about 140 a month. I use premium gas.

In all honesty it doesn't really add up to that much. lol.

Unless you're driving a Lotus or Porsche 911 your insurance will not be that high, lol.

Also. I had never taken a single driving class or anything - I just went to the DMV and took their tests. It might have been because I've been driving since I was 12? (Went from Atlanta to FL when I was 14. lolol).

your insurance might be cheaper because your in the states.
my friend pays 400 a month, and shes been driving for 2 years.

What the hell? Why would anyone who hasn't been convicted of multiple DUI's have insurance that high? And the CAD is still higher than the USD I think.

19, sports car, 140 a month? Are you a secondary driver or do you have the absolute minimum coverage OR is your car older than 15?

Anyhow, I have a g2 and insurance is horribly priced if your under 21. My dad pays 73 a month for his 2002 impala ls, and if I owned it, I would be paying about 350 a month. But, if your car is 15 years or older, you'll be paying a lot less. This is just for ontario, not sure about the states or other provinces.
