I think it's 2000 miles a year. Classic insurance is stated value. That way you can do a restoration and insure for what it's worth to you.

I live in the inner city where most of the houses are cica 1850-1890. 80% of the folks in my neighborhood do not even have garages. Strictly on the street parking. I am lucky enough to have an old converted stable/carriage house that serves as a single car garage. So, the 986 goes in the "garage." The wife's 2013 VW Tiguan and my company provided 2011 Chevy Traverse go out on the street.

The juxtaposition of those two is so wrong, yet so right! Almost like putting a double decker western bacon cheeseburger dripping with bbq sauce and fries next to a schnitzel with the right kind of mustard...yum!

True car guys!!!!

1967 should be the 'height' of the muscle car explosion.
