[DML] Re: bad news....

[t.mickel@xxxx]

For everyone's information: I recently had a 45 minute conversation
with GEICO about insuring my D. About 6 months ago they said that
they would not insure it. After reading a post about someone else
getting insured by GEICO I decided to call them again and push harder. 
It was a long conversation but GEICO apparently has an insurance
company that they use to insure collector cars and it is all handled
through GEICO. The question of what state I live in never came up
until the end of the conversation when I asked for an actual quote. 
The answer for FL. was $200 per 6 mo. for PIP and bodily injury
insurance. They will insure the car for a stated value also but I
didn't get any numbers on that.
