I can still remember the shock of discovering what I’d have to pay for my Michigan car insurance. I had just graduated from college, and wasn’t exactly rolling in dough. Moving from Oregon, it was hard enough getting used to pumping my own gas (yes, they do that for you in my home state). But when I learned I would have to pay twice as much just to insure my car — not to mention higher registration fees — I started second guessing my decision to move here.
