<VV> Antique Auto Insurance

[Mike Clark]

I decided to insure my 65 Corsa with regular, regular car coverage through 
State Farm.  Full coverage costs about $400 a year.  They have this thing 
about only driving a certain amount of miles, only to shows, yada yada.  Of 
course my odometer doesn't work but I digress.

With regular insurance I can leave the car sit out if I need to, I can drive 
anywhere I want and at any time.  Recently, I was parked a little too close 
to a falling tree, and an adjuster came to the house, did his little thing, 
and I got a new top out of the deal no questions asked.  In fact, the guy 
asked why I didn't have antique car coverage, and I told him for the very 
reason he was here that day.  They would have given me trouble if they knew 
the car was parked outside.  Also State Farm will have a stroke if they find 
out you drive your antique-insured car to work, which I do.

So, just my 2 cents.  Regular coverage is relatively cheap and the claim I 
had was a non-issue.  But as the Shell Answer Man says, your mileage may 
vary.
