   Jesus christ! I forgot car iunsurance in toronto the average is about $3,200   
   a year. Young people like chuck with a perfect driving record pay at least   
   $5,000 a year. I've seen quotes for chinese at $75,000 a year yes seventy   
   five thousand a year for automobile insurance. I remember when it was free i   
   paid nothing then 10 bucks then 40 then the chinese arrived here. Now it's   
   pay as you play. I drive with no insurance as it costs more than 5,000 bucks   
   a year just for collision.
