Hi everyone,
Well since i been trying to get an NSX i have noticed a good thing about getting (a little :smile: ) older. Alot of you probably know that i tried to purchase one but the deal fell through. A had already purchased the insurance for the car and it was going to be $760yr. I thought that was pretty good. When the deal didn't go through i had to cancel the policy but before it could be canceled i received a letter from the insurance co. I had been quoted the wrong rate and the policy was reduced so i was paying $562yr. Wow what a rate on a 175mph car!:eek:

My wife and I both turned 50 this year and our insurance went down 25%.

That's nice and all, but I would gladly pay more for a few of those years back. :)

Could it be where you live too? My insurance costs $ 377 for 6 months.
Could be but i live in memphis. Here they are as likely to steal your car with you in it as when your not. Also some of the worst drivers of any city that i have seen.:frown:

i'm now 53 and find there are a ton of great things that come with maturing / seasoning... ahem, "getting older". car insurance is just one of them. of course, there are some downsides as well.

overall, i wouldn't roll the clock back a single year - my approach has been to live life with my hair on fire while doing my best to be a good father and friend to those around me.

aarp card? yeah, had one. used it to light the bbq last weekend.

AGE: It is both a state of mind and a level of physical ability.
It is NOT totally chronological.
It is "fact" owning a sports car can slow the aging process; owning an NSX slows the aging process the most of all the sports cars available. :wink: :biggrin:

DUH:redface:
You guys in Canada (and even more in the US) are sooooo lucky.:rolleyes:

Here in The Netherlands, Europe the insurance for my '98 has been quoted 6.800 Euro/9.800Can/$8.650US

Mostly as a result of it's new value here of about 130.000 Euro/186.500Can/$165.300US (thanks to our taxes:mad: )

Even after my max discount of 75% it still comes to 1.700 Euro:frown:
