Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Classic Car Insurance ...are they nuts?

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeesh,

 I thought I had it bad. I called a co about my gremlin and got a nice quote of 129 for the year. She asked if it was modified. I said yes it has a v-8 now. She asked if I ever planned to race it. I said not at the moment but maby eventually. She said I am sorry but we don't insure drag cars. I said look lady I didn't say it was a drag car. She said well wee will have to see pics of the modifications before we decide. I told her she didn't need to decide and she replied o really? I hung up. LOL

 So I am back to the drawing board.
