I'm gonna be turnin 22 on saturday..........

22 is a useless age... you don't get anymore rights.
I can't wait till i'm 26, and I can rent a car....
hehe, load up the insurance and go down the interstate at 90mph and then throw it in reverse... cuz, i'm not really to sure what's gonna happen...... exactly

I'm in FL where you have to be 30 before you get the "full adult" insurance rates. I'm 28 and still getting "youthful adult" rates...what a crock! They considered me a full adult for the 4 1/2 years I was married because I was more responsible with a family...yeah, now I'm SO much different! I still drive my son around...hello??? Geesh, sorry for the rant...just irritates me!

...buncha children around here...

I hear ya, Cruez, but just barely; the ears are goin' too!!

One small correction, though...the Rolling Stones announced a new tour last week....

LOL... don't hold your breath, kiddies!!!

Every time, and I mean every time I hit one of those "milestones" that reduce rates there was a convienient rate increase "for everyone" which killed any reduction. Age, marriage, whatever..
They tried saying that my rates staying the same was really a reduction, since they should have increased "like everyone elses did".
Sorry, I never quite bought that theory!!
Well, yeah, I guess I did - I certainly PAID for it!!

I hear ya on the insurance rate hikes. We got a call earlier today from our carriers, and we were told that our rates were going up $4 a month, due to a rate hike in the health insurance.... HUH?!? First off, we have medical insurance thru CE's work, second of all, we do not have medical thru our car insurance. So why is our rate going up?
