My insurance on the Challenger R/T was only $6 more per month over this 07 Monte SS. Go figure.

Chevrolet was sold to Durant which bought a controlling stake in GM in 1916, and then apparently was folded into GM a year later.

If I got a BMW to drive I would take it. Why not keep the monte all nice for the weekends and daily drive the crap out of a nice sporty bmw. *That doesn't drop its transmission when you do that.*

With all of my medical bills/costs, I can't take ANY additional cost for granted. Period.

Yes, let's go figure this. You are comparing insurance rates per month from one relatively new car to another relatively new car.

In my case, I'm comparing insurance rates on a 2011 vehicle ... to the rates I enjoy for driving/owning/insuring SIX OLDER cars, all of which are 1987 and OLDER. Buying that "relatively new car" would nearly DOUBLE my insurance rates. So, I'd be DOUBLING my insurance rates going from 6 to 7 vehicles. Could I afford it? Yes. Can I justify it? No.

*shrugs*

Warned ya'll my "big heart" is no more. When will you start believing me?
