yeah, we're in about this bracket, $95/mo for a '91 toyota xcab pickup and
our '87 syncro westfalia.  through AAA in california.  i am going to look
into listing the syncro as an RV, though, and hopefully it will drop by
some.

our discounts are for good driver and married.  unfortunately, because my
wife has been driving for more than 10 years (does this suck, or what?) she
doesn't qualify for the good student discount even though she is a full-time
student.

one other thing, folks.  i spoke with our insurance lady, and she said if
you can document less than 12-15000 miles per year on your car (van or
pickup, in our case), a discount will apply.  for the truck she says i can
pull our registration or receipts from the shop to show how little we've
advanced the mileage (we drive about 8000 mi/year right now).
