>> Hi all,
>>
>> I recently bought a 406 Unimog and was surprised to find out that
>> insuring it is apparently a big problem in Maine. I've been quoted
>> $1300 and can't seem to find anything less than that. Just so you can
>> get a feel of my shock, that is more than I pay for my Pinzgauer, 97
>> 1/2 GMC pickup, and 97 Subaru COMBINED. The problem appears to be that
>> no normal underwriter wants to touch it, so I have to go to the
>> insurance equivalent of a loan shark. I don't understand :-( Can
>> anybody give me any advice?
>>
>> Another shocker is the need for a CDL. I know about a dozen reasons
>> for needing a CDL, but air assisted brakes was not one of them. Just
>> another headache to get settled before I can fully enjoy driving 45mph
>> 8' off the ground :-)
