The thing I liked about progressive is that they only check 35 months (or thereabouts) of your driving record (being 26 now I had some serious tickets when I was 21-22). They seem to be a reasonable company. I pay 195/month for my 03 GT. Geico was rediculously expensive due to the fact that they checked my driving record more than 35 months prior... not good. I was with unitrin for a while but they suck in both customer service and rates.
When I was 18, my dad bought a 1977 Mercury Monarch for 1000 bucks and put me as the primary driver on it. As a result I was insured on all of my parent's vehicles, including my cobra, and I didn't have to pay the high premium. That pos Mercury paid for itself within a year of owning it, and I never drove it. Arizona sucks though because we have some of the highest insurance premimus in the country.
