its going to be less than I paid for the eclipse (insurance)

With my current coverage at liberty mutual it should be 1400 - 1500 a year based on their quote. Yes I’m on my own policy. Never had a ticket or accident (knock on wood), good student discount, etc…

Newman gives me incentive to go to school and finish my degree. Different car tastes than my own for equal $$ but damn if those aren’t a good reason to get a good job.

Awesome pics. I am usually not too big a fan of the Evos but that hands down has to be the best looking one IMO that ive seen. :tup: But please, for the love of all that is sacred, lose the front plate. Its totally killin the look on an otherwise HOT front end. 😃
