I've got the minimal insurance on it but I own a home so I will not drive without insurance that protects my equity. Which means I need to keep at least 100/300 liability. And once you drop insurance, it costs a lot more to get insured again (at least here in California). I kind of want it gone after the 6 months, it's like a weight around my neck. We finally got "winter" and it is raining here for the next 10 days or so; so far, I've had enough hour long breaks in the rain so that I can get out and get food, etc. With a little planning, I think I can let it go.
