Vonnie, I drive a new Forester in Chicago. After an accident (no one hurt, lots of car damage), my insurance was less than that at $149/mo. A year after the accident, my insurance went down to $108/mo. So, yes, I think $200/mo. is high.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It's the Kennedy silver dollars that are huge, I guess.
Kennedys are half dollars, which are larger than the current dollar coins.

Maybe it's that I haven't seen a Kennedy half-dollar since I was younger and therefore smaller (with smaller hands) that makes them seem huge in my mind.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, that's right. Eisenhower was on the silver dollar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can do it, Allyson!
I've seen a Kennedy half-dollar somewhat recently, and they are still huge, relative to other US coins.

So, today's lunch is ricotta cheese with fruit and a side salad. The ricotta cheese had some mold in it, but I juts scooped out my half a cup from the pristine looking other end of the container. That'll be okay, right?
Aha, Eisenhower dollars were 38mm! That's the hugeness!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The Kennedy 50c piece was what I meant, FTR.
Vonnie, insurance varies hugely by state, too -- Mass sets its costs at the state level (with discounts for things like "no tickets" and "yes my car has seatbelts"), basically by age of car and proximity to Boston. (Really.) Which is why Geico is not available in Mass at all.
A comparison seems in order. I know you can get estimates online (my brother is thinking about a car, which is how we learned Geico is a no-go around here), and I bet you can better $200/mo. I was paying less than that within Boston city limits, and you know that thing about Boston drivers (and the number of dings they put in bumpers).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have resubbed to Natter after a week, because I didn't want to miss the Alias posts. I feel like there's a flaw in my process somewhere.
