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.Nick

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 possibleNick

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.Nick
