[DMCForum] Re: Holding on to old cars.

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

I wish I still had my first car. It was a 1997 Hyundai Accent. Damn
reliable, and fun little car. Especialy to have as a 2nd driver. And
dammit, I loved that little car! But hey, if I had to choose, I'd
rather regret letting go of a Hyundai, than my DMC. It's already set
to be my permanent car.

What do you mean, Josh, that your insurance will cut you off if you
change cars again? I've had to fight with people to keep my car
insured, and thus on the road, sure. But I've never even heard of an
insurance company doing something like that.
