look at the little rex, at home between the worktruck, and the shitbox... oops, Chevelle :p Missing from the picture is the 97 Towncar that is driven by my mother and the 2 vechiles that are not kept here.

it just looks so... small

 

lol.

aww.. wookit da cooot widdoh wottawy!

lloks like you could park it inside the SUV.

 

*rant*

a suburban is not an SUV, there aint nothin sport about it. It's a truck, and that's how WE use it, no matter what the soccer moms do, that thing is a truck. hell, how do you think my rex got here, and the 2 motors?

*/rant*

that wasnt directed at anyone in particular, just something that bugs me.

I like it.

 

me too

only too bad i cant drive it yet (notice lack of license plates)... i'm getting my insurance application filled out tomorrow (got an appointment for 3:00) for a $2400/yr policy, liability only

and i should hear back with an insurance card in about 10 days from tomorrow if they chose to accept me, and then i have the fun of going to the DMV with an out of state title and all that bullshit that goes with it... la de da.

overall, 2nd week in february better be nice, cause i'm gonna be tearing **** up

 

My insurance is twice that for liability only.

what the **** did you do?

i'm 17, Male, and in Essex county, NJ.... thats enough.

 

70 Chevelles are my favorite.

 

yup, mine too

its cool, i have my favorite year of chevelle (unique year, 68-72 were all really the same car, and 70-72 shared sheetmetal, but 70 had a unique grille)

and i have my favorite year of Rx7, the SA is just more sexy than the fb in my eyes, at least in the back.... and its not the first model year.

that and both of my cars are decade cars, 70 and 80, now all i need is to find some unique badass car that was made in 90, and buy it too.

 

70 had the best setup with 4 headlights and two taillights. I don't like the 71 or 72.

 

Nice, looks like my house - i have a 70 frame up resto going on (see TeamChevelle - same user name) and a tiny first gen parked next to it also.

Funny thing is that the chevelle always handled better than the rex (before i redid the bushings and added aftermarket sway bars and control arms), but the rex was faster off the line (4.0posi rear w/ small tires). Go figure

Id like to keep the mazda for a 9 second drag project (350 NA) but i need to sell it. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=151046

Go get your license at 18, proceed to get no discounts for grades etc, then, get 5 speeding tickets for 20+ over and no insurance on at least 4 of them within a year, then try and get insurance. Its hard.

Dear god. You Americans really gotta try socialism. My insurance and vehicle registration is $683 CDN, for damage to my vehicle AND liability. Not only that, but I have the choice of having 'no fault,' which means I can't sue or be sued if I have an accident, or I can go with your standard tort coverage. Either way, if I get hurt, I'm covered. God bless government monopolies. Manntis and I are sitting pretty thanks to good old SGI.

Aint I a stinker!

Damn, how do you pay 2400/year for laibility only???!! I pay $1100 a year and I have full coverage Funny thing is I've been paying that for a year, just turned 17.

 

well, you live in Ohio...

new jersey has the worst rates in the country, and my area is espically bad.

 

i just priced out insurance in vancouver, bc.... can$1445 per annum, $1 million in liability coverage and nothing else.... Im not paying 595$ a year to get collision insuranc eon a car worth only 2500!*

its all about living in the city.. i have a friend who pays half that cause he lives out in the boodocks.

*the car i hope to own by the end of the week.... w00t for my first car!

 

NJ sucks for insurance. Nice looking SA and Chevelle. The suburban is a SUV whether you care to admit to it or not.

 

82transam, what are you paying now?

yeah, i hate this state, thats why i wanna go to college up at RIT... allthough i'll have to convert the Rx7 to EFI by then cause it's so ******* cold up there. Much cheaper insurance.

 

Try living on the Island (NYC) - Im 21 - any car for me - base insurance starts @ $4000 - perfect record, but never took divers ed

 

I pay $1400 a year for insurance on my car, that's 3 million liability, and standard comprehensive (covers theft from vehicle, and contents, etc), and Delivery coverage (extra $300 a year to cover work use).. Otherwise it'd only be $1100 a year.

And that's whithout any discounts as I'm a New driver and don't get any until 5 years from now...

My parents only pay $800 a year for their insurance on thei Van, and that has all the coverage mine has, plus Collision...

Sucks to have private insurers

All prices Canadian Funds, of course...

car looks like a gokart between those two things

 

I pay almost $300 a year for my 84 GSL-SE. Sometimes it pays to be old (almost 40). Actually it sucks being old but the insurance rate ain't bad.

 

RIT is a great school, i got accepted there but not for my intended major (industrial design) so i couldnt justify spending all the money just for general ed. so now im at radford, va hoping to transfer over to VA Tech

 

Well, for a little while longer I'm on my dad's business "fleet" policy paying $1200 a year, but thats cause we fudged a few things, I'm just "borrowing" my "dads" car. Even though its mine. I'm sure we'll get caught sometime soon then its off the policy I go. I got a quote a year ago when i was still 17, with no points and it would have been 1800 a year. But, I have 2 points now, so its gonna be 2200 at least, probaby more like 2400. Argh, this sucks. Oh well.
