Nik, wtf? As far as canadian prices go, I found BC to be so economical that I've kept my insurance with ICBC while I'm at school. They even know that I'm here, I paid 90$ a month in Whistler, and I pay 98$/mo now that I'm "out of province".
Why is your insurance going up?? That's crazy, mine's gone down every year since I moved to BC in 1999. I'm only a year away from being a "roadstar" (4 years no tickets no accidents, I'm sitting at 40 months, only 8 more, woohoo). Being a guy and under 25 in Ontario you get worked. If you're a chick you have no problems, its dirt cheap. BC has better rules imho.
Did you ruin a vehicle recently before the jeep? Or did you just get busted a few too many times in the (what was it again? audi or jetta?) I bought the jeep to slow myself down, used to drive a talon tsi, it cost me way too much, and then I wrote off a slammed camry. My insurance went down HUGE, after I bought the jeep and moved to BC.
