Cost of insuring 3'rd car in a 2-person household (a lot or a little?)

I've acquired a 3'rd vehicle and for maybe the next 2 months I want to be able to drive all of them until I park one of them for the winter. I've been with State Farm (now desjardins) for over 25 years. I called my agent to get an idea of what it would cost to add the third vehicle (liability only). Was told about $65/month. The other 2 vehicles cost about $70/month each. Am I out of line thinking that this third car is really no extra liability to the policy (2 people can't drive 3 cars simultaneously) so this 3'rd car should cost way less to insure? Anyone else in the same boat, but paying a lot less to insure a third vehicle?

Why not pay $100 a year on parked cars and switch out the 3rd car every 45 days?

The third car is an '04 300m (about 100k less milage and in great shape). If I had a 3 or 4 car garage then I might have a nice / classic summer-only car but this is not Kalifornia and I have better things to do with my time than drive around joy-riding in a pampered car. The insurance is about $850 - $900 a year each. Lowest liability (I think $500k) no collision.

So for the time being I will get this 3'rd car insured so I can do a few things with it. I'm hauling leaves and crap with the truck now, soon the fall home maintainence will be done and I can park the truck in the garage for the winter and then have both 300's for winter driving. I'll be taking all insurance off on the truck - don't know why I'd need fire/theft, I don't care if it's only $100 a year. My house was insured with State Farm since I bought in 1999 (fully paid off in 2004) but the premium was creeping up about $30 a year about 5 years ago. I looked at the policy and wanted to just insure the house against damage of any kind, no content insurance, no liability insurance, but apparently nobody sells house insurance like that so I said screw it, cancel the house insurance. Insurance is a crock. I refuse to pay into a north-american insurance pool to pay for all the stuff that happens to other people's homes (hurricane, flood, tornado, earth quake, social anarchy, etc). Here in London ontario, nothing ever happens (ok sometimes someone drives into the gas meter and blows up a neighborhood but that ain't gonna happen at my place).
