| Progress Report - Insurance Note
Now that I've put a few miles on these rims and tires, I can share the following impressions: The Falken Ziex 512 is off the hook: as quiet as the OEM Mich MXV and a serious wet road grabber... serious! I hit a huge pothole (obscene geologic anomaly is more like it) doing 90kmh and I’m thankful to the Benzworld member who counseled me against 18� rims – I would have had to replace two of them already.
Not wanting to have my shiny new rims spotted on the roadside on an otherwise disabled car, I took it in for server and had a few big ticket repairs done; something that made me think about insurance! At Ten years old, with a new transmission and lots of care and money invested, I’m looking into insurance products that will pay out what the car is worth, not what I could get for it in resale. SO far I can tell you, Insure.com has a good bit of info on vintage car insurance… Some of you may want to check it out.
