Re: Tubbs fire victims
Unreal. I’ve heard a lot of collectors do not maintain insurance on their cars. Why would someone do that ? At any rate I feel bad for the owners. It’s hearbreaking to see all those destroyed cars.

Re: Tubbs fire victims
Thanks Charlie. I tend to carry full coverage insurance on everything I own. I’m not a gambling man but I don’t want to over insure either. Still I just hate to see such loss.

Re: Tubbs fire victims
I'm with Charlie on the actuarial tables,screw the percentages,play the hunch.Nothing gets out of here alive,one day the last model A will be scrapped,just as one day we will die. I consider myself fortunate, I lived during the time of the internal combustion engine,in my case I made a living,raised a family and enjoyed a hobby thanks to its invention and prominence in my time.

Re: Tubbs fire victims
I often put vehicles in a storage status when I know i won’t be driving or riding it for awhile. Fire and theft only, no liability or collision coverage.
Much cheaper and a quick call turns insurance back on. |

We have lived pre TV, to kick or hit a ball outside for fun after school. We have seen the space race and the advent of electronics . We have (mostly) owned and driven muscle cars of the 60/s.

And if we live long enough, we will see the banning of internal combustion engines A 90 year period in history in which again will never see so many changes in lifestyle. . |

Re: Tubbs fire victims
Yep, and for only $19 a month you can help feed these starving insurance companies. $19 a month, that's only 66 cents a day to feed and keep another insurance company alive.
In Minnesota we have 6 months of winter and road salt, so at best my antique car can only be out 6 months, but of those 6 months another 3 months are gone due to rain and bad weather, so even if I had the free time, the best I could do is drive my antique cars 90 days a year. $200 for insurance to drive 90 days (which I don't even come close to doing) is a rip off. |

I'm with Tom on the insurance companies,they produce nothing,their end product is to distill life into mathematics.They will tell you they coolly develop actuarial tables,hard numbers that show their actual risk.But don't forget humans run insurance companies,a human knows the emotional aspects of collecting cars,there is no doubt they prey on that too,that the actuarial table get a little 'spike' from some executive "cause they love their cars,they'll pay more"...nothing more than lawyers with a calculator.. |
