Nothing like the state, local and federal goverment to screw things up & we are the ones to have to pay for it. I usually put about 1000 miles on my Chevy beater in a year mainly winter and when I don't want to park the hornet in a questionable place like shopping malls. I usually put about 1500-2000 on my yellow Hornet. Although the milage will be cut down on the yellow one as I now have the orange one too. I think both Hornet's cost me 140$ for full coverage for a year. I think it was 34$ to add the orange Hornet to the yellow one's policy that I have had for 7 years.
