Add Your Gf To Your Insurance Policy

[killswitch88]

Yeah exactly. My car is like 17 K big deal...

Not all of us have an unlimited supply of money....i had to save my ass off + take out a loan to buy my 33 (and it cost less than that!) and im pretty sure there are others in the same boat. To see it damaged in any way shape or form is a big deal in my opinion.

To get my car I saved up 15 K in one year on 32 K salary then got 5 K loan. I know what your on about dude.

32 K is peanuts! Thats before tax too. And that was training wages too... I mean some people get that shitty pay even in proper jobs...

A good salary starts from 45 K onwards. To me 1 grand a week clear is awesome.

lol at this thread!

I went to add my BF to my policy seeing as he tends to take my car instead of his own lately It was going to double my current premium ($800) because he is 1 year younger and loss his license couple of years ago (32km over - entry ramp to the F3) - the person on the phone said I wouldn't do it as he is over 25 and can drive the car sometimes and be covered without being added.... added myself to his policy (wrx - very strict on conditions) and his insurance remained the same.....

Its only a car... yes its my pride and joy and I say il kill him if he smashes it...... but as long as no one is hurt and the car is appropriately insured...meh. It works out for the best sometimes... My first line (33 GTR) was written off within two weeks of owning it (by a family member too) .. bought a GTST... bought lots of goodies for it which are slowly being installed and still have money left over.

Yeah you guys get peanuts then it gets better... then again you will never get rich working for someone else.

[R-SPEC]

first car (wrx) wouldn't let anyone even sit in the driver seat....no really...

but hey when you work your ass off for 4 years in a shit hole then finally get a car/your dream car, you're in it all day then when your not your sitting outside and starin at it.... ofcourse i could never do such a thing as letting someone else drive the car.

i mean, would you let your mate sleep with your gf/wife etc?

lol but with the previous car (gts r33 auto) i even let my mum take it shopping, i had no feelings for that car.

All this bitching about letting the girlfriend drive... let me tell you a story:

I had the same thing happen. I get the R32 gts-4 and the GF wants to upgrade from the passenger seat to the drivers. I scoff at her and laugh at the idea of her driving my car after spending the last few years in her Honda Integra Auto.

A note to all gentlemen here. Ridiculing the Girlfriend is not a task to be undertaken lightly. You may acheive momentary amusement, and she may even laugh along, but most women are vindictive by nature, and they will not forget this, especially if witnesses are around, which in my case were some close friends. Mistake number 1.

After enduring the silent treatment on the ride home, I asked what was wrong. She said "Nothing" I enquired further...

Mistake number two.

She said that it was my assumption that she couldn't drive as well as me.

Now, this assumption has nothing to do with sex exactly, it's just that I've been driving for 5 or so years more than her, and have logged up a LOT more driving time in a manual OR turbo car, and she has never driven a manual turbo before at all.

I explained this to her using logic...

Mistake number 3. Never use logic with a pissed off girlfriend. And I'm out.

So, in true turnabout fashion, she suggests that I teach her to drive the car. I consider this when she shows a bit more cleavage. It's almost enough to override my commonsense, but this is my car I'm talking about.... Then she suggests that the lounge is so comfortable, that a guy could sleep there for weeks if he needed to. I have to weigh up my actions here.

1. Wuss out, agree to teach her in the hopes she will forget all about it later.

2. Deny permission, save my car from any mistreatment and give up all hope of making sweet sweet love to my girlfriend for the forseeable future.

About then I realise that it IS just a car, and while I can have SOMe fun in it, not THAT much fun. Well, that and I pretty much think with my penis a lot of the time.

Oh please, don't judge me. You do too. (Unless you're a female reader, then replace "you" with "your Dad"... he told me so...)

So. I find myself with a far too enthusiastic blonde graphic designer all ready to drive my car.... in high heels. I recommend she changes her shoes. I get "the look" (You know what I'm talking about) but persevere and state that if one of those "Cute little strappy things" come off while on the freeway, we could find ourselves in a rather precarious situation. She agrees.

This marks the final time on this day she does what I say without question.

We start up, and she gives it too much gas right off the bat. She likes the pod noise. I consider if I have enough time to get the brown underpants, but by then it's too late and we're out the driveway.

I show her how to clutch properly (as in put the clutch in FULLY, no double clutching here.) then shift while keeping the revs up a bit, and gently reapplying the power. After a short but eventful impersonation of a kangaroo that probably made my clutch cry oily tears of self loathing, we are cruising fine.

Then, it's time for the great eastern freeway.

I know that the only possible reason she has for driving this car is if I'm incapacitated, either involuntarily, as in I've been mugged, raped and murdered, or voluntarily as in I decided to drink to excess, becaus emy mate called me a mummas boy. I had to defend my mothers honour you see.

Anyway, it'll probably invole using the freeway to get home, so it's a necessary route to take her on.

So, it's all quiet at about 3pm on a sunday one the great eastern. cool enough that I know temp will not be a problem, and the tanks 3/4 full.

Her love of the turbo spool sound kicks in here, at about 4,500 rpm. She decides that the whine sounds "Like a jet" and that accelerating is her new favourite activity. We're soon doing 130.

I've created a monster.

Pretty soon I regret the whole exercise, as she is no longer listening to me about gear shift points, and goes looking for 6th gear, because her dads car has one. I panic that she might find reverse and suggest 5th is fine. She actually says "Are you sure it only has 5 gears?" I ponder the effects of strangulation on her driving, and the possibility of surviving a crash at his speed.

We get off the freeway, turn around and take it back home. We accellerate to 110 km/hr She actually listens to me on shift points. she's getting OK.

Then we get off the freeway and she does not seem to notice the 60 signs.

"It's just too easy to speed" she says.

Keep in mind that my car is not high power. It's quite stock. Just a pod, highflow cat and a 3 inch dump to tip exhaust. It's even in 4wd mode.

so we take corners at speeds that would probably send her integra into a flat helicopter like spin and I wonder if god is taking the piss, somehow paying me back for the times when my mum tried to teach me road driving in my dads XR6. I'd been driving an old gemini out bush for years, but she took it upon herself to teach me how to drive in the "city" (By "city" I mean small country town)

It really was no different, so I drove in a wild and reckelss manner, solely to see if i could get her to either scream or pray.

i learnt some new swearwords too. I think she made a few of them up though.

Anyway, I am suddenly back in this situation, but playing the role of my mother. Damn Karmic balance.

We evebtually get home and I pry my hands off the seatbelt and door handle, while trying to stop shaking enough to undo the belt.

We get in the house and she actually says:

"That was fun, Can I take your car to work tomorrow?"

Moral to the story:

If you have a girlfriend, teach her to drive your car if she cannot do so, but make sure you avoid the freeway until she confronts her inner hoon.

I get goose bumps just remembering it.

I always thought that if you add a younger GF to your insurance policy, it will make your policy increase in price... wrong!

Women get a totally different end of the stick. Ive just added my younger GF to my policy with Just Cars and the policy remains the same!!

Now she is also covered!

I had the same experience! Anna is four years younger than me and only just got her license and it cost me nothing to add her...then again she didn't lose her license twice or write a car off!

[gts-4 dreamer]

you have to learn how to crawl before you can walk. but then again the misses comes from a family who regular track days. she is no stranger to cars and her personal best in the same platform is maybe a few tenths to the poof teenth slower than I am. turning and braking are bit of different stories but put her in the old mans cobra an well... she rapes me on straights an i rip her around any corner you can name... stick that up ya carol
