while this will be an unpopular opinion, i think this thread and the other similar thread will cause more harm/damage than good. while well intended by Klayfish , DV and others i am afraid it opens up a can of worms with the insurance co's. some are still sleeping (hard to believe) and replicas are not a problem to them yet, or not recoginzed yet, or no action taken yet. others are already dropping replicas like stink on dooh dooh..

however, any action as proposed while it sounds good , opens up the issue for review by all companies. i can hear them now. IF THE OWNERS THINK THEY ARE UNSAFE AND FEEL A NEED FOR INSPECTION/ COMPLIANCE THERE MUST BE AN ISSUE SO WHY ARE WE INSURING THEM ? or lets double our rates ? or lets do this and that....

state laws, federal laws, local laws regarding safety items etc are entirely a different matter....

THE REAL CONCERN TO ME ARE THE DRIVERS, NOT THE CARS !

we can inspect cars all we want but the vast majority of lame brain idiot unsafe drivers in these cars is what needs to be inspected....and a Bondurant type driving course makes them/us better drivers but does NOT change the attitudes of most . Those that are unsafe drivers today will most likely continue to be so.

sorry folks, i just think this highlights an issue that will become more of an issue because of it. safe driving to all. bill.
