i bought a 1990 N/A rx-7. that was worth the money and rotory redlines like a muthaf*ckr. Even if it doesn't have turbo, like my wrx, this car can still get sideways.

My friend is selling his 1990 RX-7 with LOTS of mods on there for around $3500. This car looks very good and flies, especially in turns.

hmm we used to have an old vovlo. I hear that they're pretty quality and last forever... ours kept dying on us... but it's a good option. I'm not really a fan of the miata, but i guess i'm looking for that goes, so that may be another option. An old beamer would be cool. I guess what's more important is what'll get me a low insurance rate.

damn that's right up my alley for what I want...but out of my range..haa.
as for beater cars man...get a crx or an old civic hatch..like 89-91.
Cheap and easy to work on..run for days if you keep em mostly stock engine wise.
Or get a nissan sentra man...great beater car. My brother beats the living crap out of his. Look like crap. has no power, but it runs.haaa.

I might be wrong, but I think if u buy a classic, insurance is basically zero since they figure nobody's gonna crash or trash a classic, or drive it much. Hate to sound stupid, but the corvair is cheap, relatively sporty, low maintanance, and IMO looks cool. Probably not what ur looking for tho. GL
