Default Any suggestions on Virginia car insurance?

I've gotten a couple speeding tickets back in 05 and recently driving on suspended license (due to not going to a Driver Improvement Clinic because I couldn't afford it at the time). But I haven't been able to get insurance for the passed year and a half for a number of reasons. Well I just got back from Boot Camp and need insurance. I got a quote from State Farm, whom I use to have insurance with and paid around $158 a month for my 94 Camaro RS, and now they want $258 a month for my 97 Camaro I have now, liability only. On top of that they want a $500 down payment? I was told this is because of my two speeding tickets and driving on suspended. Well, I'm trying to find some other possibilities before I have to opt for the uninsured motorist fee from DMV, but those prices are freakin crazy. So I'm hoping maybe someone from here can recommend a good and hopefully cheap auto insurance company? Thanks everyone.

check progressive, they'll give you a quote and a bunch of other company's quotes (haven't you seen the commercials man???)

I have Allstate Insurance for $128/month. My own planning. I'm 20, and I drive a 2004 Cavalier. I have the full insurance plan.. the highest they offer, not sure.

Just got out of bootcamp? I just got out of the Navy. whew. 2 years of pure bullshit. Good luck to you, bro. Hope you're ready for the BS. Thanks for serving our country.

i pay $68 a month through progressive, on a 84 rabbit though. progressive sucks if you have anything aftermarket though, even if you have receipts, they wont pay you no matter what. they be dicks.

You will find BS anywhere you work at! At least the BS in the military pays better most of the time.
