	When I was under 25 years old, I had a 1970 Mustang that was in
somewhat worn condition (and 10 years old). I bought a new Capri and kept
the Mustang. My insurance agent could only charge me the under-25 rate
on one of the cars, so he charged that rate on the Mustang, which was 
cheaper to insure, and the lower over-25 rate on the Capri. The result
(including the two-car discount) was that I paid less insurance on the
two cars than I would have for just the new Capri.

	If you're under 25 and have an expensive car, it might pay
for you to buy an old clunker that you don't even have to drive.
