how much are you paying for insurance?
Im 24 male, my insurance company wants around 550 a month. No speeding tickets since i was 17. I've been involved physically in one accident in a toyota pickup. I had someone back into my wrx and my gf had an accident in it. but should that raise my rates? I was only paying 250 like 2 months ago. I recently paid my loan off on the car. Why do they want so much?

I'm 25 and pay about 1020 for six months of full coverage. 
1 ticket for speeding (doing 80 in a 70)
1 ticket for "drafting"
Now that I have a clean record, I need to see how much my rates dropped.

34, male, 3 cars including 1 STi, no tickets on record (knock on wood) = $2,200 / year.
But I have very high coverages due to owning a home and wanting to make sure I'm protected. I also have the maximum discounts since I have multi car coverage and my home through the same insurer.

STI= Ed going loco. If I got an STI, I'd have to move somewhere off of sunrise.

36 years old married male with a spotless driving record.
I pay $850/6 months for just my STi, but that's with high coverage.
RC51 told me his STi cost more to insure than a late model Viper!

24, no tickets, one accident when I was 16, pay ~$900 for 6 months on a 05 Legacy GT w/ Allstate. Decent coverage. Not worst nor the best I could get.
Your rate went up too much. Have you called them yet to find out why insurance is so high. that seems like way too much.
