One of the advantages of not working ... you can never drive to work
; Lots of time for WYAII though!

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
You can drive it but with restrictions on work and errands and stuff as in no work or errands not a daily driver. In fact they ask for proof that you have a daily driver for work and stuff insured with another company. Pleasure and cruises, club events are fine for the classics. I insured with Hagerty because I don't drive it that often and it is only for pleasure. But with Allstate they would depreciate it to worth nothing if you had an accident as it is a 45 year old car.RCMike wrote:I don't think I could own one of these if I could not drive it..
I did not like the idea that I was not really covered with allstate or any regular insurance company if that day ever came and I lost the Datsun from theft or an accident. Even when it is not your fault the other company wont give you much for a 45 year old car.

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
I think there was a breach in communications today!
Jon and I have been having a good time with some 620s and we both drove them to work this morning! Don't worry tho... the roadster still occupies the best spot in the garage.

Cool trucks. Been eyeing 521's myself lately, and the occasional SD engined 720 from time to time...

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
They are pretty cool. I found the blue/white one for $300. We tinkered on it for a few hours and then I drove it home! It's hard to find anything pre-smog that is so cheep and still fun to play around with. I'm gonna do a bit of quick body work on it and then paint it and have myself a nice little work truck. I like the 521s they are just a bit harder to find. Well, I better keep my highjacking of this thread to a minimum!

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
I have American Modern Home. They recently sent out a questionnaire to determine their exposure. I have no alarm or locator but since it is all apart I have a value of only $3500 on it. The cost for comp and collision is $100.00.cktrap wrote:So... what's the best insurance to use??
CK, Is your roadster painted 666 silver?

Re: Take you Roadster to Work Day
Hey Keith, maybe we can swap, your American (libra) wheels and tires for my exhaust?
I have Americanmodern for two vehicles (Roadster and Pcar).
They sent me money back after I completed a questionnaire (miles per year etc).
Can PM you the particulars if you want.
