You will most likely need special insurance then. Lets just say that none of the major companies will insure you with engine mods and most will not go above $5k in parts and a few $10k. Anything else you must go custom. My new revised coverage on the TSX which has been in negotiations for a while will cover everything and a declared and appraised value I specify but will require me to only be able to drive the car 5000 miles a year. Also working at getting it covered for track days. However, if I can't there are special insurance companies for that that I can just pay for coverage for a specific day or weekend.

I woke up at 6am today so I could QD and clean the windows on the car and head out to Cars and Coffee. I got there 15 minutes late It was cold as fuck, but t0talacuratl (Adrian), Tannis (John), Pearl TL-S (Eric), and oc7592 (sorry man, I forgot your name) made the drive out to Richmond from Virginia Beach Heres a few of my favorites:













And my absolute favorite:











Its a '59 MK 9. The guy's grandfather (or great grandfather, can't remember) bought it new right here in Richmond. Then passed it down through the years. Its been repainted once, back in the '70s and the engine was rebuilt 1.5 times (apparently the builder messed something up and stripped it down and rebuilt it). Its got about 40k miles on it. The detail that was put into this car was amazing. Its the first Jaguar road car with 4 wheel disc brakes and power steering. It was in amazing condition.

Can't forget the ultra high quality Lucas Electronics



Oh, obligatory FBR-SZ pic:

You sure you don't wanna bash that gt86 more even tho it is a better build of better quality than anything you will ever do in your lifetime?

Let's see, by that same logic:

- I can't criticize a Prius because I'll never build a hybrid as well as Toyota.

- I can't criticize a painting because I'll never paint a picture as well as Monet.

- I can't criticize a baseball player because I'll never play in the Major Leagues.

- I can't criticize a meal because I'll never be a chef.

- I can't criticize you because I'll never achieve your skill of Trolling.

[sarcasm]That's a genius line of reasoning you've proposed.[/sarcasm]




Sorry, Morgan, couldn't let that one go unanswered.

How do you know what he does or builds? That's a pretty arrogant assumption.
