well since you live in MD you can get historic plates and only pay about 20 bucks a month insurance next year when the car becomes 20 years old. in addition u dont have to do a safety inspection or emissions.

Someone else may have said this, but - If you're on your family's insurance, write your primary vehicle as something else (less sporty and old, preferably), and either let a parent or no one claim that car as a primary vehicle.

Holy stupidity, Batman, you're lucky you even have a car dude. I hope I don't come across you when I'm driving in the Edmonton area. In Ontario, you'd have had your car impounded on the spot, and a $10,000 fine. Bye-bye license and car, and your minimum wage job wages for the next year. Quit being an idiot on the roads, or we'll end up with retarded, knee-jerk laws like Ontario's here, too, laws that give huge discretionary powers to the police (not that there's much question in your case) - did they impound your car? It's already dangerous driving - 6 demerits - and a mandatory court appearance unless the cop was lenient on you, and it's hard to see why he would be.
Take it to a club event at Stratotech, or look up the Alberta Solo Association (ASA) and go to some autocross events on the runways at CFB Namao.

I looked into the historic plates option in Maryland myself. My State Farm agent said I'd have to sign a form stating that I would only drive the car to and from car shows, to and from a repair facility, or to and from car club meetings. They also required that the car be garaged when it is not being driven. I like to drive my car about 5000 miles per year for all kinds of purposes, and I don't always keep it in a garage. I decided it wasn't worth the risk of them denying a claim (if I ever make one) just to save a few bucks.

let me start off and say this.. i was YOUNG and stuck on stupid....
i live in pa.. im 21 i am insured by progressive insurgence. i pay 120 a month for the above basic plan.. i have 13 points on my licence 1 car accident (thats when the stupidity stopped)
but just like every one said... call your local insurance company and get rates.. also i find that if you go through small insurance agents you'll receive a better rate sometimes

To the OP, I wouldn't be surprised if the '91 NA RX-7 would actually be cheaper to insure than your existing 2001 Accord. Although the RX-7 is a sports car, it probably has less horsepower than your Accord and is ten years older (therefore lower Blue Book value). For example, I was surprised to learn that my '88 RX-7 costs me less to insure than my '02 Dodge Caravan. But you definitely need to call your agent and find out for yourself because of all the variables.

Wow they really rape you youngins.
I pay $35 per month for FULL custom $15k coverage.
But it is not my primary vehicle, it's insured as a "weekender", no accidents, 32 years old, multi-car, multi-line, good student (lasts forever if your last semester ever was good), no accidents or tickets...
But, this thread is stupid, call your insurance company or ANY insurance company, having us yahoos conjecture on random insurance rates is retarded...

My DWI's just fell off my insurance record (they only care about violations that occur within the past 3 years) so my insurance dropped from $75 to $50 monthly. I am 24, and that is for liability, in an S5 Vert. My agent said it will go to half of that amount ($25) when I turn 25 in February. I plan on getting comprehensive instead of just liability at that time since I have spent $9000 on the car.

You might want to look into an antique/classic car declared value policy then. Your run-of-the-mill carrier will limit you to the book value of your car, which is probably just a few thousand dollars, comprehensive or not.
