Picking it up Thursday. So Jazzed!

[ballpoint]

Black 2006 Mazda 3 GT w. GFX package. I would have it already but I have to wait for some cheques to clear hold at the bank. I could have asked the bank to clear them, but waiting gave me time to shop around for insurance.

If I hadn\'t had to wait, I probably would have gone with TD at $4200/yr. That was the best quote I got from a half-dozen different places. Then I went to kanetix.ca. They got me $2690 through RBC. Whew, saving $120/mo. Funny because when I got a phone quote from RBC on my own, they quoted $4600!

I hope it\'s a nice day Thursday. I\'m not the best with a manual stick and I wanted to spend most of the day becoming acquainted with the car. Gonna burn some CDs, get a 4-pack of Red Bull & eat drive-thru food all day baby.

:D

Congrats ballpoint and my apologies to your stomach.

Sounds like all that money you saved will be used on gas.

conmgrats but DAMMMMN.. it\'s gonna smell funny.. it\'s almost a year and i still don\'t let people eat in my car :p

[ballpoint]

Yeah you\'re right. Maybe I\'ll try not to eat in it unless it\'s absolutely necessary.

[SIM SIMMA]

Congrats.

Hopefully the weather will hold for you.

According to the weather people it might rain OR snow? 40% chance... but what do they know right?

ugh.

Congrats and welcome to the board.....where did you buy from?

[ballpoint]

Bought from Burlington Mazda. I\'m dealing with Jim Fletcher. Pretty straight-up guy. Has been patient with me as OCD compels me to double-check every figure.

Insurance is the biggest GD hassle in the world (for someone who doesn\'t have pets or kids). It\'s a racket I tells ya!

Welcome to the forum. enjoy driving your new car. :)

[ballpoint]

Well, my insurance is set up, the cheques have cleared. The last thing to do is get a certified cheque from the bank and then go to the dealer. Of course it\'s calling for snow tomorrow. Maybe I\'ll have to save the break-in driving until Friday when it\'s supposed to be sunny.

It\'s 3AM and I can\'t get to sleep. :zzz

[MAZDA Kitten]

Yay!

Twins!
Congrats...

Sorry but your insurance is $$$! Why so expensive?
Mine keeps going down and down every renewal...

Apparently I have two at faults on my record within the past six years. The first I was sure had been settled as not-at-fault. I was hit while parked in a parking lot. I have a distinct memory of the conversation with a company rep about it. The second one, from 2003, was definitely my fault. They said the first at fault only pushed my quote up by about $120 so I\'ll just not bother with the hassle of disputing it.

My premiums are high compared to most girls and responsible guys my age, but I feel like I saved money because everyone else was quoting well above $4000.
