Hello, Bill. What part of what I said is not true? Sounds like you put
your cars to bed for the winter. I drive mine year round, and it is my
primary transportation. So State Farm charges you "only" $46 to insure a
car that is not being driven? Are you talking comprehensive or liability
here? Liability is what I have to maintain in order to keep plates on my
car, and I don't see where the liability risk is to the insurance company
on a car that isn't mobile.
