    More pics of the forlorn wagon

    Here's some more pics of my car. The poor wagon is sitting, with a dead battery, waiting for insurance. My mother said she may put it in her name, and put it on the road, as a car for me to use, and a spare for anyone else when they need it. Works for me. It's got some rust, which will hopefully be fixed soon, but hey, I still love it.

      Yea it's big enough, the battery's dead as of now though after not being started for 5 weeks. I think I'm just going to buy a new, cheap battery, as the one that's in there is 4-5 years old.

              I'm getting insurance quotes as we speak. Geico seems cheapest, anyone have any suggestions?

                    Believe me, she won't. I've been busy working/helping my dad provide for my family, so I havent had time to go clean her up. Maybe this weekend I'll drop in a cheap battery and start her up. Believe me though, this is one wagon that will be back in action as soon as possible

                          Geico's been beating everyone else by about $1400/yr for 2 cars, so I think we're going to go with them. I've been messing around with things and got it down to $1,109 every 6 months for my wagon and the Taurus. With me being only 16, it seems more than reasonable compared to other companies wanting $1,800. Now all my mom has to do is actually do it. That's the hard part with her.

                              that's AWESOME rate!! Better than our Public Auto Insurance under British Columbia Government, no private insurance. Because Public auto insurance does not offer any discount for two cars or more at all. For example...I had two car (both 1980 cars) right?, so if I want to insure both cars, I would have to pay near $2,500.00.

                              When I will move back to Ontario this Fall and if I had two cars, I will only pay about $800.00 for both car under private insurance.
