With that being said, it would seem logical that "modded" hatches would be involved in more accidents since "Junior" just put on a cold air intake and wants to race anything that moves. Thus in his hormone engulfed state to prove his masculanity, he doesn't see the old lady merging legally into traffic and then collides with her.
As this senario plays out more, and more "modded" hatches are in accidents, insurance companies will take notice and raise rates. Just food for thought. Hummmmm . . . . . now I'm off to find something for lunch.

I'm turning 19 in 2 months and my insurance is retarded expensive for just a yaris. Oh didn't go to college this semester okay we raise your insurace now your paying almost an extra $100 a month lol. I'm not even a bad driver at all and I know it, everyone I know my age got into accidents (my best friend totaled his saturn trying to rip the e-brake around the corner lost control and hit a tree, my ex-girl already backed up into a fire hydrant with her mustang and she had an accident already with a camaro when she was 15) but I avoid them all the time, I just don't know how kids can be so stupid at my age driving, I care for my yaris too much to put at risk lol. If anything they should raise the insurance on elderly people in their 60's and higher because when you have people doing 70-80mph on the highway and there's an old lady doing 45mph on the highway what is going to happen, someone is not going to pay attention and swerve out of the way into the divider or into someone else killing people possibly or even a pile up all because an old lady can't drive fast......that is what makes me mad most of all.
