OT: How The Heck Is A Fence $3500?!

Apparently, the fence that I revamped costs $3500 , which as of date after 4-5 months, is still not fixed...yet my insurance paid for it? To do a whole backyard of fencing costs like around $1000, yet one SECTION of the fence costs $3500 Hmm...including the fence and the mishap, it's like $4000/year to drive a Corolla! Aiii ya. 25 years old just seems farther and farther away.

Btw, does anyone know how much it would "roughly" cost for under 25 yrs. driving a "Sports Car category" car? More speficially the RSX. Yes I know it varies by insurance, yes I know it varies from person to person, I just want a "guesstimate" ( =

and u gotta look at it this way..
its better for u to wait till the write off that u had is cleared off ur record before even thinking of getting a rsx
for me its like prolly 2500-3000 a year cuz im under my mom and my civic is like 2 grand

You at work right now? Hmm yea the civic used to cost around $2600 under my Mom's name. I'm 19 right now...

It would be great if we get the Type R, but its highly unlikely. I mean..the type S is selling so well and we already have 3 trim levels as it is. However, it would be cool if Honda made some "limited" qunatities of the Type R and bring it over here. Kinda like an Anniversary Special or something.

21 but a kid inside eh?

No....that was before...now it's $4000 + for a 4 door family car!
That's one of the main reasons why I didn't get the civic again...2 dr would have cost too much.
2 more tickets and it goes up again. It'll gradually drop after like 2 years or something.

I'm 24 and it's $1200 for me as a third driver on two cars (01 Civ and 99 Accord). Clean record.

naw..I ain't hating on you, I'm a kid too! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Lala, in 3-4 years eh? That's what i'm afraid, by the time I can save up for a Type S, they will be redesigning it! Than the same thing all over again with the D17, gotta wait and wait till new products come out ) = Hopefully if they do redesign, it's still K20! Honda is like every 5 years or something right?

SupYo- That's just messed...lookie here I just found a flyer at my garage door....Fences...$15.50 for Cedar per sq/ft! Wtf!

Tell me this ain't sexy! *drool*




That's what I'm gonna get, Taffeta White! And if they don't have white in Canada by than...Custom Championship White! Mmmm. Jdm headlights with no orange reflectors. So clean..so sexy!

maxEmus- On middlefield between Elson and Dennison, heading towards Dennison. The wooden side, luckily not the stone side! Don't think I woulda walked out with no scractches if I did....I know I"m getting screwed, there's no way it's $3500 for one section!

as much as I'm starting to like this civic [12 days old], I'm still peeved about basically giving up on RSX, Celica and new Tiburon just because of much higher insurance rate..

some of these insurance guys are really out ot rape you...

you dont want to know what i'm paying.. your rates are nowhere near my rate.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

I'm paying very close to what you're paying. Maybe more.

I paid $6600 last year for a 1.7EL Acura. Why? 2 at faults, AND I'm the primary driver. I'm now paying like... $5000/yr. Beat that. And I'm under 25.

Unstoppable, you're probably looking at $7000-8000 EASY for a RSX Type-S... There's no way you're gonna shell out that kinda money, might as well hire a driver and buy a limo [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

exactly.

I'm under 25 too, primary, paying about 400 a month.. I guess that works out to around 5k a year.....

I have no points, faults, tickets, etc.

This is ridiculous, 4 bills for an econobox.

Sometimes I resent some of the idiot riceboys with civic and integras... although that goes for idiots in other types of cars too, but there really seems to be higher population of street racer wannabes in old civics and tegs crashing into other people in a crowded stop and go traffic raising insurance for everyone else.
