right,
a drunk wanders into my campsite and hits his head against the side of
my Westy.
That may be true, about some insurance companies and liability, but it's
stupid !
besides, if anyone is going to sue ..
they sue the campground, the campground hosts, and the local cops for
allowing the person to get drunk and hurt themselves, and the National
Forest it's in. Hey ..the local bartender too, plus his janitor.
World gone mad.
I fail to see how your other cars being older has any bearing on the
SEL's insurance.
what ? you just get one collector car to insure .
lol...my older mercedes is so old ( 1970 ) that one time an insurance
company told me the VIN I gave them couldn't be right as it didn't have
enough numbers and letters.
They want everyone to fit in the same box.
They ask me how far I drive to work .
I just tell them 6 miles. Finally I told them once...you don't have a
category for me. I live in my shop where I work, and I am highly
unlikely to ever make a claim for more than a cracked windshield.
Proudly not in any of the normal boxes.
