Paul,



State Farm told me years ago that they would insure my Pantera as long as I

did all my other cars and house with them. So I changed my super low

premiums for their not so low premiums so I could insure the Pantera.



Ha.... A month later, they informed they made a mistake and could not do

anything but liability on it. After I'd cancelled all the others. I was

ticked off to say the least.



Then I saw people here saying they _did_ have their Panteras insured with

Sate Farm! So I fired off a fax to my representative and gave them hell on

that and a couple of other issues. Imagine to my surprise, they've agreed

to fully cover the Pantera _and_ the Longchamp! All on declared value of

the cars.



Of course, they may turn around and change their mind again in a month....



FWIW,



Kirby
