So, you fell asleep at the wheel and wonder why an unmarried college
student of 19 has to pay $700 dollars for insurance?  Well the answer
is that you are a high risk.  The insurance is geared towards what
damage you might cause in your TR6 (a high speed projectile with the
cornering characteristics of a brick), not towards the value of your
particular car.

You should not move to New Jersey too soon,  you might have an
apoplectic fit if you asked for a quotation.

Incidentally, my RX7 costs me a few dollars over $1000 per year,
and I have been driving for 10 years without accident (they still weight
me as a youthfull male because I'm not married).   The last
insurance quote I got in England for a Triumph Spitfire, 4years
old was #148 (say, $180 at todays exchange rates) - the 60% no-
claims-discount helped alot.
