Well, I might as well add my insurance story. Tried to add it as another vehicle to my policy with Progressive, website = useless; phone call - over 3/4 ton = commercial; then, in my state (Colo.) they won't touch anything that was military. She sounded cute over the phone, but I told her I understood and that I feel sorry for her loss of business. Talked to a friend at Snakefarm; she told me that she couldn't find a D30 but it would be the same under the policy for a V30 (?). Very reasonable. At E-surance it came up right away as a postal vehicle (sweet, but we don't have postal service here, so I would have to take on another job) but the rate was a bit high. Bottom line, I found that going through a local agent made it go through, and don't speak much. Give year, civi model, and vin and let them earn your business.
The fact that I need insurance is enough to get me, but godforbid I have to pay an elk's family if I ever got into an accident is enough, and, oh, yeah, I need that for a title and reg.
Oh well. It's a small percentage of the money I'm just about to spend on tires.
