Question Winter beater and insurance???

Hey guys….those of you with winter beaters……what do you guys do for insurance? I mean…. Do you guys pay for both cars…even though you’re not driving one…or do you guys set up some kind of a deal with your insurance company?
I’m just thinking of getting a winter beater for next winter……wondering if its still a good idea……

I pay $25/month on my Jeep... but it's stored in a locked Barn... I think it's more if you leave it on an open driveway/road.

Yeah, I just leave fire and theft on the Summer Car and take off liability and put it on the winterbeater... $5000 fine if you get caught driving without insurance.

5000 fine is almost a deal for the price some people pay to drive!


ever hear the story about the old man that never had car insurance for like 50years? he got pulled over one day, no insurance, got a ticket for 5grand....but how much money did he save over those 50years or so?!

thats a lucky man!
