Grundy was $241
Hagerty was $480
My cars a weekend car if the weather is nice. I have two other vehicles I drive for work and around town.
Do they ask for the Mileage each year?
I thought about doing that for a couple of my vehicles since I never drive them and all, but I was always weary of making a claim with an insurance company that I am paying so little to.
I am mainly referring to a full coverage policy and worrying about the money that they will provide to repair my car.

Verdad Gallardo They definitely aren't just going to write you a $15k check after you paid them lets just say 10 years worth of payments(a whopping 2 thousand bucks), lol.
Insurance companies are in business to make a profit.
Besides, I said repairs.
45k miles on an 04 is a lot of miles. i DD my frc and had 33k and it was a 99.
i agree with being well built. but since that thing was probably DD'd, expect a lot of rock chips, curb checks, scuffs under nose, ect that those pics arent going to easily show. not that thats a *huge* deal though.

It doesn't sound like you have dealt with many insurance companies payouts before.

Same Insurance company is hope you never wreck your car because you don't drive it. Thats how they make their money..
I don't see them giving you 15k if something goes wrong with the car "small car repair".
But if its a total lose this is where I would think it would pay out the value of the policy.
I could be wrong on this but from what i have read on this... this was my thoughts.
I have... Just not Collectible car Insurance.

I'm just trying to help you out and my advice is to read each and every word of your policy(not your declaration page either).
Good luck though, saving a buck now might not always pay out in the long run!
I deal with insurance companies on a daily basis and it is very rare that the insurance companies that I deal with pay policy limits.

My main point for me was going from liabilityto full coverage. Saving a little money was just a bonus. lol

Viper looks good, but I'd check out some of the classifieds on the Viper boards. Some of those guys are "proud" of their cars but at a minimum, you can usually do some research on how the Viper has been treated and get some info in it's history.
Agreed with FASTB....this is a different group all-together of car owners. If I remember correctly, they asked for pictures of my cars when I was setting up the policy with Hagerty. Just remember to keep them in the loop on any "upgrades" you do to the car that will increase it's worth. I let them know to increase the value when I bought some wheels from Tony.
Regarding Texasdirectauto, they're worth checking out if your local. I wouldn't suggest anyone buying a car from them sight unseen though. A friend bought a truck from there and you could tell they doctored the photos to hide a dent in the bumper. Their prices used to be a lot better a few years back on both sales and trade-ins that seemed to give them an edge. Lately they seem to be on par with everyone else.

Texas Direct was OK for me. They had a 2001 Trans Am with only 10,000 miles. My car had been stolen and I wanted to replace it. The cool thing was, the former owner was on Tech!! So, I verified all the information on the car. I paid more than I wanted (even after talking them down $2,000!!), but it was practically new and completely unmodded. I had no problems with them. But, they are a used car dealer, so.....always be cautious.
Viper looks good in the pictures, although I agree with Tony regarding the stripes. At least they're on straight!!! Plus, ditch that friggin' dvd player!! Cracks me up how it flips up and blocks the A/C vents!! Derrr.......

Off topic, but Duy, do you by chance work or do business over off Westheimer and Rogerdale?
Just asking because the past few days i've seen what looks like your viper in the area behind our warehouse.
