One of my first cars cost me $500 dollars. I had it for about 2 years and had to pay $250 monthly for insurance to drive the damn thing. A friend of mine wrecked it and they gave me a check for $350 to get a new car. Worst investment ever, but you don't have a choice. I figure it's probably cheaper to just drive without and then if you get caught pay the ticket. But they make you get insurance and pay the ticket. Total crap.
