Replying to: andre1969 (Mar 16, 2006 6:04 am) i don't drop all the insurance. i keep fire/theft, drop liability. funny thing is, my insurance company screwed up and reported to motor vehicles that i DID drop all coverage. took a phone call to my agent and a letter from the insurance carrier and myself to get it straightened out. the agent said i was far from the first one to call.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 15, 2006 6:21 pm) someone told me i would have to get a fleet policy if i bought another(+1) car.
#520 of 552 What exactly... by andre1969 Mar 20, 2006 (7:57 am)
is "fleet" insurance? A few years back, there was a guy who lived behind my grandparents house who worked on old cars, always had a bunch of parts cars around, and had a few classics of his own. I remember the term "fleet" insurance coming up as to how he could afford it.   Is it just another word for an insurance policy where one driver has a lot of cars on it? Essentially like what I have? Or is there something more to it? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 20, 2006 9:30 am) bobbymcgee1980 (May 11, 2006 3:27 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Mar 20, 2006 7:57 am) sounds like geezer nonsense to me....   Sure, if you have a collection of cars, the insurance company gives you a break sometimes...

Replying to: chevytruck_fan (Mar 18, 2001 11:52 pm) My personal experience was, that trying to use a 'Classic Car' as a 'Daily Driver' sounds like fun, until you've done it. Between the idiots on the road, and the wear and tear, plus the difficulty you can sometimes encounter in getting a repair part when you need it a.s.a.p., it becomes more of a headache, than a lot of fun. I enjoy my cars more now, since I don't drive them every day, then when I tried doing that with my first classic car. ">
#524 of 552 One of the problems... by isellhondas Jun 15, 2006 (6:54 am)
I would worry too much. If some idiot were to run into that 1960 Plymouth and wreck the grille and fromt fenders, they would be near impossible to find replacements.   And, the shops don't want to work on old cars.
#525 of 552 Full Coverage Is Cheap when you only drive 3,000 miles! by reallandyacht Jul 04, 2006 (8:13 am)
I just got a quote for FULL coverage on my 1970 Coup Deville convertible with up to $15,000.00 in repairs for UNDER $190.00 (USD) a year for this car!   Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 04, 2006 8:17 am) reallandyacht (Jul 04, 2006 8:22 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 04, 2006 8:42 am)

Replying to: reallandyacht (Jul 04, 2006 8:13 am) Specialty car insurers are pretty cheap as long as you follow their restrictions on mileage and storage. Also, it can't be your only car registered in your name. You probably need an appraisal as well. And if you have an accident, it had better not be 500 miles from home while camping, as you are supposed to restrict your use to daily exercise and special events.
