This is something I'm kind of struggling with right now. My car is being built to be reliable and safe but I question the other drivers out there! So I talk to my insurance agent about coverage that would completely replace the car, with it's modifications, and have it available to drive daily in the warmer months (8,000 miles annually) and the price gets a little silly. I'm also in one of those states where the property liability insurance minimum is $10,000! That wouldn't cover a 4 year old Accord!!!

One of the site sponsors on here, LaRue Classics, can help you out there.

I have an agreed upon value with my Chevelle with them. They know this isn't my daily driver, that its kept in the garage, etc. etc.

It's worth it to give him a ring!

not enough. i used to drive it a lot more before I changed jobs. my current commute does not make for a good environment for my car. and it never goes out if there is salt on the roads in winter.

"They know it isn't my daily driver" is the part were I lose the collector car insurance companies. I know of 2 that offer coverage for a daily driven pro-touring car but it gets quite pricey.
I shouldn't whine, my boss pays $8k a year to insure his Ferrari...

That white Camaro was Nice, that blue Mustang too We have long wintertimes here, and lotso salt, so then my car sits inside for 5-6 months atleast...

My Insurance is cheap atleast, as long as you have an normal car to use everyday. But how good the Insurance is if something actually happens I do not now, but teoretically it is no problem... 30-Year old cars here are cheaper to insure even when "customized", they are considered "veteran/historic" cars. But it Depends of course, on usage/price/Level of modification.. Etc.

Nice to see People use their cars, I was going to work some on the car today and drive it some, but it started raining really Heavy, so it just sat in the dark garage all by itself..
