That's really exorbitant insurance. I don't know where he lives or what is situation is but $350 a month is insane.

You can buy a very nice e-bike every year with that money.

I'd put money on a pretty messy driving history for the insurance to be that much.

Two cars (~$50k each), two adult drivers, one accident in the last 7 years, no tickets = $453/mo. Fuck California and the weak cunt Newsom that can't get these greedy fuckers under control.

I was unemployed for most of last year and let my insurance lapse. I'd be lucky if anyone would insure me for $350/month.

Wouldn't surprise me if that neighbour has been in a few accidents, gotten a bunch of speeding tickets, and/or is a young male.

Also depends on what they are driving.
