Just one word: UIM! That's un/underinsured motorists insurance. I don't have
it with my antique insurance through JC Taylor and don't know if the classic
insurance companies write it: But, we are currently battling with 2 insurance
companies and contacting attornies over Shelley's recent wreck. UIM may get us
fully covered cause the other driver's state minimum of $25,000 personal injury
protection probably isn't going to cover it. Also, just had a friends daughter
74 bug rear ended by a hit and run driver; rammed her in the rear then backed
up and ran. Her UIM is covering the damage eventhough she doesn't have
collision insurance. Didn't know this before but UIM covers other drivers in a
hit and run when you don't even know who the other driver is.

FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } Just drove 7 miles to Mark and Em
house to borrow some tow lights for the bus to tow it to the Spring for a
weekend of fun. Half way back sitting at a stop sign, waiting my turn to go and
a drunk driver smashes into the front drivers side of the bus! I get out look
at the damage he doesn't move then I see him trying to back up but someone is
behind him blocking him, I step in front of his truck asking him repeatedly
asking him to off his truck and he looks at me with drunken confusion, three
minutes I stand in front of his truck asking him to turn it off then he puts it
in drive and begins to roll towards me. I jump out of the way and some cars
behind me at the stop sign swerve in front of him to stop him and he goes into
the ditch hit a 45 MPH speed sign and keeps flying down the road. Two witnesses
stayed one a pi and the other a undercover officer, the
undercover agent try to chase him but he gets away. Turns out the guy has
already had 2 DUI's (well informed tow truck driver that knows the officer) and
the police know him. Couldn't drive the bus as the fender, wheel well bent into
the front drivers side tire. Tow truck home 80 bucks, still amped up on
adrenalin and already wondering where to take the bus to have it fixed. I
didn't want to try and pull him out of the truck (ford f 150 red) as he was
clearly wasted and much bigger then my lean athletic frame small humor is a
moment of sadness, and once I saw in his eyes he was going to drive over me I
jumped. This is so not good! OK that's my sad story. We have talked about
insurance on here so I will let everyone know how Hagerty full coverage with a
Agreed value of 20 k works out.
Guy's where should I take my deluxe 1966 type II too?
He was turning right onto the road I was on swung way wide and his drivers
front end hit my drivers front end.
Didn't have a camera to take pictures at the seen but soon I will have lots of
pictures of the damage
