RE: [DML] My Insurance canceled me - cuz it was a Delorean!

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David, 
DeLoreans have been on the don't insure list with State Farm for years. The
reasons they gave me was not that the parts weren't available but due to the
high cost of replacements cost mainly body parts. 
My agent insured me because I have home owners with him also. When times are
good they will look for any reason they can not to insure cars that they
deem more costly to insure in case of trouble.

Got a general cancelation letter today from State Farm. They canceled my DMC
insurance effective 10/1/10 and sent me a refund on my premium. I called my
agent who then called the underwriters. Ready for this... "your insurance
was canceled because there are no more parts available for Deloreans and if
a light swtich or screw or other part breaks, the car will be totalled".

Well, after laughing in their face for 5 minutes straight I explained to
them about that whole myth. They didn't beleive me. I gave them the numbers
to all the big DMC shops in the country. They are going to call the shops
and verify there are parts still available and then reistate my policy.

Are people this stupid?
