car insurance

Ok guys I'm confused... I just went to the insurance calculator at www.autotrader.com and filled out forms for myself in a 1995 TT Supra and a 1995 Lexus SC300 and the lexus was $9k!!!/year and the supra was like 7k/year... wtf is up with this?!?

I got a Highlander b/c my gparents bought it for me when I turned 16 (no rich-kid jokes, not like I was about to deny it)... at that point I wanted a nice all-around car to lug friends, cargo, and 4wd to duck-hunt in... well, duck hunting sucks at my spot, so I dont go any more, and Im tired of dragging friends around just because my car is the coolest ... after modding the highlander a bit ive been bitten by the mod-bug and want a more modable platform... check out www.toyota.com for some highlander pics, and i will try to get some pics of mine uploaded within the next few days...

sports car is out of the pic then...

oh and lexus costs more to fix, costs more period. and if you get to the point of buying stuff, you will been to re-evaluate your wishlist (14psi on a single turbo 2jz is gonna be worse than stock)

heh... try my 1900/6months for just me
anyways, follow up: i ran my current car through the same program on autotrader and it gave me 7k/year, and i pay a little over half of that, so I guess it just inflates the price by 80% for some reason... :shrug:
