[emolineaux]

Nice car. why the switch

[JerzLT1]

I C Boost !!!

[deadtrend1]

I C Boost !!!

yes .. we will call it that ..... "boost"

[emolineaux]

i didnt think you could see boost lol i guess my eyes arent that good

[bad64chevelle]

Hopefully that lowered your insurance rates :rolleyes:

[crazyblazer87]

i thought you couldn't afford the insurance so you had to get rid of the camaro. By the way whats holding the radiator in there?

[emolineaux]

i wasnt paying that much through my insurance company. im not worried about it right now. gonna be a little before its on the road. at that point ill go with the insurance company i was going to go with at first before i got screwed over.

[crazyblazer87]

so then why the lie about the high insurance?

[emolineaux]

because it was high. it went from 267 to 995 every 6 months. for only 3k miles of drive a year! thats more than my genesis at full coverage and being financed lol. thats why i said forget it and never got it inspected for new owner. if i would of know they were going to screw me over(was only insuring to make the sale easier) i would of went with the collector insurance for like 500 a year.

[crazyblazer87]

so the t/a will be different?

[emolineaux]

i will be going with the collector car insurance since its something i plan on keeping for awhile. and only going to be out in nice weather.

[emolineaux]

id rather pay the 412 a year for the ta on collector insurance over the 2k a year through progressive lol

[Mike]

dont you need collector registration for collector insurance?

[crazyblazer87]

so the camaro couldn't get that insurance?

[emolineaux]

no dont need collector registration with this company.

and if you would read my posts above. ive wanted a ta and settled for a camaro. so when this came about i wanted to go with the ta and part ways with the camaro.

[crazyblazer87]

yeah but the camaro was for sale for a while before you traded it for the t/a

and your big reason to get rid of it quick was because insurance was to much

[emolineaux]

thats because i got really pissed off and just wanted to be done with it but didnt think about the previous insurance quotes i got for the car. but any way why do you guys have to bust my balls about stupid crap. the camaro is sold and i have a car that i want. i wasnt going to pay the high price to just have ppl come and test drive the car and have it able to be driven for 3 or 4 months out of the year lol.

[Mike]

i dont know how my car isnt qualified for collector insurance but yours is....

[crazyblazer87]

im just trying to understand your reasoning of selling a car that you "dumped" money into and then sell it when you go buy another one and will just do the same thing over again.

[emolineaux]

mike this is the company im going with. they had my camaro all set to go but it was cheaper for me to insure it for 6 months with progressive so i could get it sold. but they f-ed up and told me it was going to run me triple the price 3 weeks later.

give these guys a call

[emolineaux]

sorry i shouldnt of said collectors. they have insurance for collector cars and custom cars. but they do have limits to what you can and cant do.

[maroman88]

very nice! that white sure does clean up nice!

i have my 88 camaro insured as a "pleasure vehicle" on the same state farm policy that my whole family is on.

Doesn't look like that will work for him. They specifically outlaw racing / timed events.

Nice trade. Good luck with it man

[GrandmasterCow]

Nice! Glad to see ya pleased.

[EchoMirage]

i had american collectors. they sucked. raised the rates $10 every year for no reason. i have grundy on both my TAs now. much cheaper and the rates never rise.

[LS1Hawk]

Good luck. It seems the late 4th gens have now hit that point in time where most of them are beat up.

Actually, Grundy does raise their rates. I have Grundy and my insurance is up for renewal this month. I spotted on the declarations page that they raised the value of my car $1,500 over last year. I called them and they said in your policy there is something called "inflation guard" that raises your declared value by 4% each renewal. I was never aware of it, and was never told of it by them until now. I was able to remove it and they didn't give me a hard time. But I suggest you check your policy.
