Haven't got a chance yet, but I hope to do so when we go meet with a sales rep.

And my insurance is going to be about $200/month as a secondary driver, mostly due to the fact that I got my G2 license a month ago. Never really needed it....

And lol ur lucky u only work 38/week. My standard is 45-50 hours. Right now I'm pushing 70. I do heating and air, so we work a little bit longer

Youre really close lol, I'm in the dufferin/langstaff area but were planning on moving very soon. I think towards bayview/16th

Sweet, a Z buddy who lives close by!

I'm a car noob myself, so I have much to learn about the Z. I've been to Shannonville and Dunville race track once each in a Mini Cooper. That was really fun. As far as mechanics go, I know very little about cars. Since this is the very first car I own, I feel like I need to know more.

Looking forward to meeting up with you once you get your Z

I have so many questions about the car but have nobody else to ask/talk about it.

DjSquall · 04-13-2010, 11:36 AM

Yeah all I know about cars it take em back for maintenance, get winter tires, and.. Well the mechanic knows the rest!

By the way, I've been hearing that the mini Cooper it's super fun to drive, how did you like yours?

Z OH · 04-13-2010, 11:41 AM

"Super fun" is definately how I would describe it.

Espeically on the track, you can max it out without ever worrying about a thing.

I think I am still the youngest with it around here... 21!! haha

My cars in my dads name because of insruance

370 @ 21.. very nice, Sibze.

Yeah BelAirDirect is a weird insurance company. I think all they really care about is a record without claims. My friend (that I mentioned earlier) has over a dozen tickets, and just got his driver license back from a 6-month suspension. He pays only $200/month on his Nissan Pathfinder. Other insurance companies were offering him $700+ to get insured on his own.. So when he called BelAir and they said $200, he jumped right on it. And he got the belair policy WHILE his license was suspended. All they asked him over the phone was how much he drives a day (he said 10km haha), how long he had his license for, any previous accidents and if he has 4 winter tires on. Not a word about any tickets, etc etc.

For me, they quoted $550/month on a 2010 Murano, $520 for a 2010 370Z, and only $400 for a Porche Boxster. But I put the Porche out of the picture due to high maintenance costs and the fact that its not as good in winter as the Z. Plus its an extra 15-20k brand new.

Z OH · 04-13-2010, 06:02 PM

The Auto Insurance industry is like a fish market haha...

I guess different Insurers cater to different drivers... *shrug* Just need to shop around I guess...

No, I was a hardcore pc gamer. Back in the day my team got to invitational league after 3 hard years. But it was too much for me and I quit. I only play occasionally now. All my spare time is devoted to my studio.
