Sounds about right. Wife's Jeep has only had 15k miles put on it since purchasing the Super Duty two and a half years ago, which now has a little over 50k on it.
And I need to move to Texas.......my insurance bill is $330 for mentioned vehicles.......per month.........

 

My insurance with the full 40% safe drivers discount is about $2300 for the truck alone. I think I need to move somewhere else...ouch!!! My wife's '96 Civic is over $1000.

 

My insurance is $916 a year for the truck. Amazing how high the rates are in some states.

 

Mine is $1100/yr for the truck, max coverage, comp, collision.
about 1/3 each, liability/comp/collision

 

OK, I was wrong when I quoted my insurance. It is not $559, it is $529

 

Rub it in, why don'tcha?


I kinda suspected La ain't treating me right, but damn....I'm at $918 every 6mo just for state minimum, truck's an extra $985


My wife's brand new $50k 2014 Odyssey only costs me $641....wth...


Throw in the ole battle wagon XL Yukon for $355 and I'm throwing down $5800 a year!


I need a drink.....

 

Unless I'm bringing the rv home from storage after work, I walk by my beautiful F350 sitting in the driveway and get into a 2001 Chevy Impala for the 14 mile commute to and from work every day. A Chevy Impala that has an electrical gremlin that will drain the battery if I don't disconnect the battery between each use. So twice a day I pop the hood, screw the positive lead onto the battery, and drive it 14 miles. It's hard, very hard. But then when I get to drive the big boy, it's like winning a little lottery each time.

The Impala was given to us by my wife's parents after they bought a newer car. It keeps 28 miles a day off the F350, and it seems like every time I drive the F350 I put 200-1000 miles on it traveling somewhere pulling the rv (over 6000 miles in one cross country trip) so I figure every bit helps, and it keeps me humble. But it's still tough LOL

 

I think I would make my life a little easier and invest in a good $14 battery disconnect........of course I'm lazy also.

 

Believe it or not I actually have one sitting in the garage from my old race car, but I'm too lazy to install it hahaha

 

After driving my various Ford Duallys now for 14 years, it is very difficult to even drive a smaller vehicle! I love driving mine and go everywhere in it. And yes, Texas Farm Bureau is a fabulous insurer. They don't question why this woman wants to drive an F450 Dually as her 'grocery-getter' !

 

Why would they question your wants to drive a F450 as a "grocery-getter", it is quite apparent that your a highly intelligent person by your choice in vehicles.


I have tried to get my wife to trade into a F150 Platinum Crew Cab, but she seems to be overly fond of her SHO.

 

Nothing wrong with people's vehicle choices. I hate people who try to dictate or rationalize what other people have / don't have.
