I just got off the phone with my insurance agent. Wow!!

2003 MINI Cooper S insurance will only be about $50. a year MORE than my 2001 Porshe.

I couldn't believe it given the price difference of the two cars.

It appears to me to be due to the MINI's listing under BMW. From what I understood,
BMW has a high loss ratio. ie- BMWs are more frequently in accidents than Porshes.

Didn't BMW want to separate themselves from MINI? (please)
