Default Who cant WAIT to re-insure their car for spring?!

I know I cant wait. My t/a has been uninsured since october. hopefully the snow will be all over and I am able to insure it again on march 1st!!!!

Im glad that it has been uninsured this long though, becuase otherwise I wouldnt have downtime to modify the car.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER ... HERE WE COME!!!!!

Snow? I've seen snow once, and it was last night I can't wait to go home this weekend and get a drive in on the car. I have my beater down at school so as to not be tempted to drive and waste $ on gas. We dodged a bullet snow wise with not having much in January, so that's good.

I just reinsured mine today, and it's probably going to come out in the next few days... but I drive a LS1 car year round, so I haven't been missing anything.

My insurance is pretty cheap, so I wouldn't save more than a couple hundered at most by suspending the collosion and liability for winter storage (I would never suggest pulling off fire/theft/vandalisim, even for storage). I just leave it insured incase I get the oppertunity (perfect weather and time) to drive it over the winter. If I was paying some high rates, I'd pull it off (other than comprehensive) for the winter though.

I never took mine off, roads were still clean around the new year. I should take it off now though. Not scared of this weather this week, friday am I leave for puerto rico. When I get back it should be almost spring. Ok mid Feb but hey it's a good week and a half :-). Just wish I could have my car down there.

I can't wait to get my car out, I drive a 95 beretta (with the Z26 performance package ) for my beater and the e-brake is currently out of commission which makes the car absolutely no fun on snowy roads. Having a sled is the only way I think I could survive winter, although this winter has sucked for snow so it hasn't been fun.

Mines insured year round. Can't cancel insurance here without turning the tags in to the DMV.

Uhh, I think that's a slight exaggeration, LOL. Every day sure as hell isn't t-top weather day! I don't typically take my t-tops out when it's 30 degrees outside. Although, I have been able to take them out several times in the last few months! I'd die if I was living back up in Michigan.
