Both cars stay on the road year round. I’m too lazy to cancel insurance and then have to re-register the cars every spring.

Seriously, there is so much going on in the Spring with _Onyx Syndicate_ that I won’t be able to even think about it until then.

You know, most insurance companys will let you drop collision on a stored car for up to 6 months… you don’t have to turn in your plates. Your laziness is costing you a decent amount of $$ 🙂

rust sucks, ever work on a car from the south and notice how much easier things are just for that one reason? 😛 that and i’m sure some people wouldn’t really be going much of anywhere in the snow with the kinda power they are putting down lol

Always on the road as well and depends on the car.If I know I’m going to get rid of it in a couple of years I won’t wait too long.If it is something rare a keeper.At least a few good rainstorms after the last salt.

i never take my insurance off or turn in the plates…that way, when we get a beautiful day like this past monday i’m free to take it out for a spin…

but i shouldn’t have with the boost leak, coolant leak, and power steering fluid leak lol…

i hope to have all those fixed though by maybe april, mid april…depends on weather, i dont have a garage to work in, and i’m not working outside in anything under 40 or 35 degrees…

Lets just say my insurance is around the same it would cost me to re-register the cars every year and both of them are fully covered. I love classic car insurance.

Car’s technically on the road as of a month ago as I had to do some plate transfers but it won’t see the road until the salt is gone. That’s usually in the beginning of April but who knows…
