Zach, believe it or not, the insurance on my Z is less than it was for my 98 Camaro SS! Several hundred dollars less!

Madness! The most I've paid on insurance has been on my Civic!

I think I'm paying about $1,000 per year. What are the rest of you all paying for insurance?

I'll probably end up paying a bit more than I am paying now on the TT. Right now I'm sitting at $2,200/yr, so possibly $2,500.

I'm paying $1054 a year for my Z. It is my daily driver and I'm putting 12-14k miles a year on it.

Well I doubt I'll put very many miles on mine per year. I work out of my home for my business, so I don't have a daily commute to deal with. But I expect the first couple of years will have me putting more mileage on the Z then the other vehicles as I just prefer driving it. Which shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone, I would imagine!
My poor Jeep Wrangler feels neglected. But then again, I only put about 1200 miles on it last year anyway. My insurance company keeps sending us requests for mileage on the vehicles because I guess they don't believe how little we drive. The wife and I have 4 vehicles, so what little driving we do is spread out over those vehicles.

Age is the biggest factor for me, I'm the youngest member of the Z06 community

How old are you, if you don't mind my asking?
I don't see that as any drawback. Heck, I am kicking myself SOUNDLY for not getting a vette a long time ago. I really just never considered it for some reason which escapes me right now. When I bought my Grand Prix with all of the options (454 cube engine, etc) I am certain that a Corvette wouldn't have been that much more expensive. But the idea just never happened to cross my mind.
So hell, be GLAD you are doing this now, because I think it is great you are doing so. Just be careful and don't let the exuberance of youth get you killed.

I PM'ed you...usually don't say on websites since most people group you into the whole young, reckless, and stupid crowd (I'm two of those, but mainly on the autocross track )
