Can you get a discount for good grades too? On the left coast, they take school grades into account. My Niece got a smoking good deal (well, relatively speaking anyway :roll: ) because she has really good grades. :thup:
Interestingly, that doesn't directly reflect in her driving.
We think she is trying to redefine the laws of physics. :doh:
Thanks Happy Camper! As far as I know there is no discount for good grades :o. Might be something I need to look into though that would probably help on insurance cost a bit I've got a 3.5 GPA. :doh:, Sorry to hear about her driving at least she's just starting out though, and she's definitely not the only teenager that isn't the best driver I watched a kid today in a '98 Dodge-ram (big truck by the way, he's probably got it lifted around 6" or so and he's running 35s) and he was parking his truck, turned WAY too sharp into his spot, and totally destroyed the girl's ranger that was parked beside him :doh:. Noticed your name was Happy_Camper, my drafting teacher gave me that nick-name last year, now now EVERYONE calls me Happy Camper :lol:.

Because you're a Bump Owner, we know you'll do right in you're driving. Keep up the good driving record and your wallet will appreciate the reduced insurance rates.
Seems like only yesterday I got my permit, course that was WAAAAAY back in 1965 (my GOD, I'm still alive?!) Thanks for taking me down memory lane with your coming of age tale.
Bumps ARE chick magnets just ask anyone of my three Daughters, they LOVE their Daddy's Truck. YES Guys they're all single, look like their momma (THANK GOD!) and over 21 and under 30. That's why I keep the Smith & Wesson loaded (just kiddin') :lol:
Thanks! The wallet will definitely appreciate the good driving. :thup:, Took my parents back too! You're right about bumps being chick-magnets :thup:.

They need to teach more parking in Driver's Ed. Libby is full of big trucks- quad cabs, long beds, duallys, lifts, etc. And every single one of them is over the line in the parking lot.

You're definitely right. It's the same way around here, everyone either has a huge truck or a tiny car :lol:, and it seems like no matter which one they are either over the line or so crooked they might as well be especially at school :doh:. I'd say I'm pretty good at parking though, lately I've been driving my mom's Suburban so no problem parking anything big :lol:.
