    Classic car insurance for a daily driver?

    I asked USAA once if they would have a problem insuring a classic Stang. They said they would simply insure it for its blue book value. Now I did not ask about appraised value.

    Went to see Reagan today

    Diplomatically it was a GREAT move. Problem is that it was a WAR! You don't act diplomatically in a war, you go for the throat! To me Kennedy's finest hour was tax cuts and his support of Civil Rights. Going for the throat meant mushroom clouds over Miami and Washington. Kennedy did...

    Went to see Reagan today

    You should read Ellison's book. It really is classic. It is assigned in business schools to exemplify management and decision making.

    Good story Oz. I went to the funeral procession yesterday. It could not have been better. Class and respect all the way.

    Went to see Reagan today

    The great majority of historians view the crisis as JFK's finest moment. The agreement to remove the Jupiters was done to allow Kruschev to back down gracefully. Saving face is very important when the world is watching. Kruschev was not demanding anything and got nothing. JFK was in firm control...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    Leafy equals crap in your cowl. Crap in your cowl equals headaches of monumental proportions. Good point.

    Went to see Reagan today

    Whatever the underlying rationale was, in the scheme of the Cold War this was seen as weakness on the part of the US. Not really. Let's face it. After that and the Bay of Pigs was over, Cuba basically became a sidenote in American policy i.e. an issue of little consequence. Kruschev was seen...

    Went to see Reagan today

    Actually no. Under Kennedy the US lost a standoff with the Soviet Union and had to pull missles out of Turkey. Yes, but they had wanted to yank those out anyway. They were Jupiter missles and quite unreliable. So it was easy enough to allow that so as to give Kruschev a way to back off and...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    That's the problem- I reside in an apartment. My mom lives up the road and I could keep it in her garage. The trade off is that I would have to travel 2 miles by subway or foot everytime I want to drive it. Otherwise it is renting something closer which is doable but will eat into my budget...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    I do not have one as of yet. I am contemplating fulfulling a lifelong dream of owning a classic Stang. Of course I am doing lots of research first and am calculating my limitations, lack of a garage being one of them. Not being in Texas or SoCal brings with it harsh weather issues and I am...

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    I'd like it be my daily driver although I do NOT drive to work. I have a garage a couple of miles up the road I could use in the winter. But would it be ok to keep it outside during the warmer months? My area is a very safe and leafy area of DC. Very hot and humid summers.

    How vital is garaging a classic Stang?

    In the Middle Atlantic region that is. Winter is a no-brainer of course. But is it imperative that an old Stang spend the rest of the time inside or can it do long periods outside with a good car cover? Thanks!

    How many of you use your Stang as a daily driver?

    Hi everybody. First post. I've been lurking here a while and am most impressed with the vast array of technical knowledge and the willingness to help. I have wanted a vintage Mustang since I was 14 and am finally thinking seriously of getting one. So I will probably have a lot of questions...
