I am currently the proud owner of an '86 9000T, and I previously owned an 82 900T before the transmission died. I'm an 18 year old male, and the insurance is about $115 a month with no accidents/tickets and the good student discount. I love my car, as far as the price range I'm in, the only other car I would want is a slightly newer one, or maybe an aero one of these days... Performance is a big thing for me and it may not be the greatest in between stop lights, but I'll be dammed if a CRX is gonna pass me on the highway.
