Interesting. We don't see much of that around here, let alone the horrific accidents that some of you have described. I will get the word out to some members of our local SCCA club. A little knowledge could go a long way in making sure these people play it straight with their insurance companies.

I test drove a Neon SRT the other day. The local Chrysler dealer gave me a call. They are hard to get and they run like a "raped ape"--wind up as fast as a Rotary engine.

The dealer told me that, despite their high demand, the sale is not easy. People who want them are in the less than 25 yr. old range. Cost isn't as much a concern as is the insurance. He said some of these guys are paying close to $200 a month to insure them. I didn't realize the problems that this segment was having until I read the AW piece and heard from you guys.
