Re: [T3] Insurance

<x-flowed>Our son always had his own policy. The insurance guy recomened it. And 
it was good as he has some of the kid problems. He first drove my 71 
Squareback,the a 74 std bug, my Karmen Ghia. It was when he brought his 
own car is when the problems started. Texas Farm Bureau insurance, only 
sold to members I have used them since 1969..Costs a little more to 
insure him this way but IMHO it is well worth it. You can put him on a 
newer car, but most of the time the older the car the cheaper the 
insurance. Get your car appraised and get the insurance to agree on the 
value of the car!
