Steep??? Run, don't walk, in the other direction. Your age & (sob) sex
is against you. Your grades & driver ed are pluses. You haven't stated
your driving record. If it has ANY adverse marks that is a HUGE minus.
At any rate (pun not intended) check the archives for insurance posts. I
have Allstate (but I'm 60 years old) & have since I bought the car about
14 years ago. Rates are about the same as our 240Z, '72 Landcruiser
FJ-40, et al. I believe Allstate was in on the concept of DeLoreans
being safer cars so they might give you a break.
Good luck!
