I would be interested in who other rx8 people have their car with...Because I would rather put it through Shannon's...They are the car specialty insurance agency here....letting you take the car to wherever you want.
Just out of interest - what do you pay in the US?

Not really ridiculous, some Insurance Companies wont insure any fast cars with drivers/owners under the age of 25.
In Australia those under 25 are more likely to have an accident and or cause death than at any other age, except over 85 years of age..I am sure it is similar in the USA/UK...
