Good advice -- above.. Please do not let the speed and power of this car get the better of you. Be smart and safe. I remember me and my judgement at 18 and I dont know if getting this kind of car would have been wise.... Remember -- You do not have to get into a pissing match with every idiot who wants to race.

Enjoy it! tis a wonderful beast

Welcome and congrats! it is a beautiful car, to have something like that at your age is very lucky and a PRIVILEGE as well. Be safe, learn the car, learn to control it, and I aagree with everything else mentioned above.

you paid cash for that at 18? nicely done. I was driving a rustbucket handmedown 68 camaro at 18, definitely could not afford a car let alone pay for one outright at that age. I bet insurance is expensive..!

Congrats!

Some advice from a fellow 18 year old with the same car:

Take it to a track an explore the car's limits, best way to get to know your car and it'll keep you from driving like a maniac on the street.

And you never know, you may like the track experience like I did and make it your new hobby.

Enjoy!

Are you in Montreal btw?

Did a 23 000$ cash down for the car leaving me with small payments.

As for the insurances. I pay about 180$/month

Wow. That is low insurance. What company are you insured with?

I'm currently still Ontario plated but considering switching to Quebec plates. If I can get a similar rate I'll definitely make the switch. I'm currently paying....well a lot more than that. I won't say how much because most people will think I'm an idiot

hey welcome another Montreal member, cool!! Subie_PB just came here from Ontario, I've been here all my life. We need to organize more local meets! I swear I see subarus at the Julep every thursday when I go for the bike meets lol.

$180 isn't too bad. Currently I am paying about $90 per month but I am 24 and have a pretty good insurance.

Subie_PB, definitely check out insurance here, it's cheaper than Ontario for sure. Although the plates may be a bit more so look into that.

Yeah I checked it out but I couldn't get anything as low or near as low as 180 a month. I did it on the online site (kanetix). Lowest quote I could get so far was 4600/year, which is less than I currently pay, but the plates are still more expensive. It's not enough to motivate me to go through the hassle of switching registration and taking the license tests.

I don't get why it's so high though, I have 0 demerit points and no tickets.

Maybe I should call a broker.

that's SO weird though. Maybe it is your Ontario plates...dunno. well just keep checking periodically, and also did you ask about University student discounts?

I'll call a broker when I get really serious about it, they usually find the best rates. Never asked about student discounts, I'll try that too and see what other discounts I might qualify for.

As for a meet at the Julep, I'd be down any day. Even today if you'd like, you, me, and call up daniel, joseph and anyone else who wants to join :tup:
