I finally got to drive my TII today. It had been since December, due to the fact that I was away at school. I drove back from Iowa this morning with my dad (16 hours) and had him take me right to my insurance agent's office and then to the DMV. When I first started it, the car sputtered, smoked, and backfired like there was no tomorrow. I was starting to think I had some electrical problems to deal with, because turning on the lights would kill the car, and the tach kept dying, but I threw on a new negative battery terminal and stole my mom's battery (to be replaced tomorrow, of course ) out of her van that she's selling, and everything is fine now. I hardly got to drive it tonight, since the weather is shitty, but I have to drive it back from Iowa in a couple days, so I'll have plenty of fun with it then.

P.S. Since I have seen so many insurance threads over the years on here, I figured I'd mention that I pay $403 for 6 months of full coverage on my TII.

 

awesome! haha, bet u must have been feigning to drive it again u go to school in iowa? i thought lived in upstate NY?

 

I live in Syracuse, NY and go to school at Iowa State. It's about 1015 miles away...almost far enough.

 

who do you go through for insurance, and are you on your own policy?

 

I go through State Farm, and I am on my own policy. That's the 25 year old rate...my old rate was $590 for 6 months.

 

hmm.... i guess it helps that you live in IOWA too? big town, small town?

 

I live in Ames, IA, which is a fairly small city, but my insurance is through my old agent in NY. (Syracuse...one of the smaller cities in NY)
