Re: Car best for insurance (minor driver)

Damn, you got a great set-up there, I remember when my old girl friend's parents would go on a trip and leave the fox to guard the hen house - yes mam, I don't mind staying here til ya'll get back late tonight.

I see you're next door in VA, so next time you get a minute - do a rain dance and say a prayer that we get some much needed RAIN!!

Re: Car best for insurance (minor driver)

blowers are nice man, and i totally agree the sound of the blow-off valve / wastegate sounds really cool done right - just watch for one thing, if the sound of the valve is TOO loud/explosive, it may not be a good thing. Sure it sounds cool, but if too much air is coming out of a valve that's just too small, it's potentially harmful to ur car! :-o!!!!!!

Just be smart, GL with your car search!

Advice: don't waste your money on a car and car insurance until you absolutely have to.

Re: Car best for insurance (minor driver)

What do you mean? The 2000 boxter costs less then just about all the other cars i was (seriosly) considering. My list right now is:

2000(ish) Porsche boxter
(new) VW Jetta
(new) VW GTI
2005(ish) Audi A4
Older mini cooper S
2000(ish) BMW 3 series
Chevy cobalt
dads scca ssc racecar, Dodge neon (last resort)
A few more but dont come to mind off my mind

I've been biting my tongue the whole way through this thread, but speaking for myself, I did a whole lot of crazy stuff when I first started driving, before I honed all of my high-speed and other spatial situational awareness skills. Not to mention that I was always driving and going places seemingly every waking moment. Let's just say that looking back, I'm glad my father laughed off my Porsche aspirations and that I had to beg him not to trade in his old station wagon when he got a new one, so that I would have something to drive. I'm sure I got more dents, scuffs, and scrapes on that old wagon in my first 6 mos. of driving than I have in the last 30 years.

I know of several supercharger systems that have blow off valves. When you have a high HP set-up, it's mandatory or there will be a big bang.

Re: Car best for insurance (minor driver)

Thanks. It's a 93 Mustang notchback. It's gone 7.70's so far with a 10W tire & taken 2nd place at the Autorama show in Detroit.
