Default Full Coverage Insurance: Who provides it on our old cars?

This post is pretty self explanatory. I live in Florida, and drive an 86' 951. I'm 35. What companies provide full coverage insurance on cars that are more than ten years old? What are competitive price points for me to look for? What are your experiences? By the way, I still have a perfect driving record. Thanks for the help. <is that a Guiness in that stupid friggin icon?

O.K. Send me your Gulfstream and I'll just fly on over. Cripes! 150.00USD. There must not be any decent lawyers in NZ. No self respecting ambulance chaser could ever get by in a society that with free medical care.
Seriously, send the Gulfstream, and some hot chics to go with it for the 3 day flight.

The Gulfstream is in place, you are responsible for your own chick previsions. It is not feasible to send them from here just to fly back again when you have a greater selection than us. Yeah, we have free medical??? Doesnt everyone?

Why do they chase Ambulances? For liable suits? You cant sue a person here for an accident...

Seriously send the plane! We are the country where a lady was awarded 74 mil. for damages resulting from a McDonalds restaurant serving coffee that was too hot. It spilled in her lap as she drove away from the drive thru. Some ambulance chaser sued McDonald's for the woman, and I'm certain, received a significant winfall in attorney's fees. McDonalds now prints worning on all of their coffee cups. Welcome to America!

And yes, some have literally been known to chase ambulances in order to gain clients.

Thats just ****ed up! McD's gets sued cos she does not have a sufficient cup holder? Did she request hot coffee? Surely the car company should go halves with McD's! Porsche watch out, I dont have a cup holder...

That crap happens EVERY SINGLE DAY in America. With liberty and capitalism goes abuse. (Not all lawyers, infact not most, are this slimy, but like all things, a few really make it lousy for the rest.)

We have an "ACC" government owned organisation that compensates for accidents. Oh the government pay you a weekly superannuation cheque when you retire (60? maybe 65).... so you dont have to worry about working etc...

Actually, the judge in that case dropped the jury award to about $250,000. Micki D's had been warned repeatedly to lower the temp of their coffee b/c it scalded and injured scores of people. They didn't listen and got sued. They're coffee is significantly cooler now and I bet you can't tell the difference when you drink it. However, your leg could tell the difference if you spilled it!

Sorry, I'm just another one of those stinkin' lawyers
