Insurance in Britain is a joke.
My younger brother is looking to change his car, and has been getting some insurance quotes. The car he is most interested in is a Nissan S14, which in Britain is the 200SX. In Japan it is the Silvia, and I think America got an earlier version as the 240SX. Anyway, it's a two door with an SR20DET engine. It's pretty hot, but not particularly insane. He's twenty, no accidents, no convictions and three years no claims bonus. The premium? £11,000. That's right, £11,000 on a car worth £8,000. That's $16,000 to insure a car for ONE YEAR. I know people that earn less than that.
