Insurance Renewal Increase

Sup Fellow EVO owners..... I was wondering if anybody's insurance went up? I just got my renewal, and Geico increased the premiums by $400. No accidents nor tickets.
Their Justification:

The EVO was reclassified from an A rating to N or M
Too many insurance claims for damage
High Perforamance Car
Expensive Parts
Theif...blah blah blah

However they noted that bodily injury claims were minimal.

what a shock....

with the amount of people who crashed their cars in the past year, this does not come as a suprise.

Mine didn't go up that much but it went up
Supposedly, more expensive cost to fix the car.

I got my notice for next year and mine doubled. I still need to call my ins company (local) and figure out exactly why. Just another thing to pile on top of all the maint, but its still worth it!

Another part of the cost of doing business. For those of you (like me) contemplating an 08 Skyline GT-R, just think of those premiums...

Mine only increased because they finally realized it wasn't a base Lancer

Yup, just renewed mine today and it went up about $250 a year (Progressive). They said it was an across the board hike for my state/area though, so not sure the Evo had anything to do with it.
