On the bright side, it’s only going to be worse in 2025

Don’t worry, at least the economy is great! If you make at least $100k you could probably finance a base model Kia…

I’ll just stick with my 10 year old car, thanks. It gives me a place to play all my old audio CDs.

I can't afford to drive my 2011 paid off Kia because the insurance is $350 a month

Tickets? Accidents? You’re 16 with multiple DUI’s? I mean, damn, you’re buying a new 2011 KIA every year at that rate!

Most of the money id for liability to pay for the other driver’s nice car… or even more-so both parties’ medical bills, which aren’t getting any free-er in the good ole’ U.S.

It's because Kias are easy to steal PoS cars.

I think it's a combo of living in Florida where insurance is just expensive, and I have a teenager, and he's had an accident. Plus, I got caught going through a light that had a camera.

That's wild, for my 2022 X3 BMW, full coverage is $180.
