You may have been able to get insurance, but would it have met the standard for the state at the time in the event of an accident? Texas and California were kind of nuts with their restrictions.

Sure, kids I knew drove those cars in high school but my insurance company said they and their parents were taking a big risk doing so. I haven't thought about this in 15+ years so I have no clue how the world works now vs. how it *really* worked then.
