> [@newman](#): > > you can NEVER drive it to work? You sign a waiver that stating specifically will not drive the car to work. Its pretty much the standard deal with collectors insurance. There is another company I found that you can request to have the option to drive the car to work 2 days per wk. Havent looked into them much though - here is there website - [www.elitecollectorcar.com](http://www.elitecollectorcar.com) Let me know which way you go, I have a different job now that I might actually want to drive the car to work now so I might be looking to change. > [@XwalkerX](#): > > who is to say that you were going to work…? I suppose your ok if you never have to file a claim, but if your car gets hit in the work parking lot or something of that nature I imagine you would be SOL as far recovering any damages. ---

Insurance is going to be tough as getting it appraised is going to be a bitch. They appraise based on market value, and such a weird ass car is going to be real tough… Bring receipts! ---

They appraise based on market value, and such a weird ass car is going to be real tough… Bring receipts! There are people out there qualified to do this work, you might have to hunt someone down on the net who has appraised someone similar. I had mine done by a guy who owns a dealer that sells supras on a regular basis. The market value was significantly less than I spent on the car but that was no surprise. ---
