My wife was haveing a conversation with one of her co-workers last week, and the topic of auto insurance came up. The lady (mid 40's) was complaining about her car insurance. My wife started to talk to her about how many cars we had, and how we insure them all, blah, blah, blah, but then she got to the Studebaker:
"...but our Studebaker is on Collecible Auto Insurance, unlike the others."
Her friend replyed "You have a Studebaker??"
My wife "yup, we drive it all the time in the summer"
Her friend "You can DRIVE it???"
My wife "Yes..." Kind of in disbelief that she actually asked that.
Her friend, "I mean, its LEGAL? To drive a car THAT OLD?"
My wife, "it is only a 1963..."
Her friend, "But they will insure a car that old if you drive it? What about the licence? Do you have to have a special permit?"
My wife "no..."
Her friend, "But arent they unsafe, I mean, behind the times? I didn't think you could drive something that old legally."
My wife ended the story there, I asked her what else she said, but my wife only commented that was the end of the conversation, after she told her that, "yeah, it is perfectly legal, and yes, the insurance companies let you drive it."
And I forgot to mention that her friend thought that it was pretty cool that we drove a Studebaker.[8D]
Do people live in caves or something?
