First, Hagerty is pissing off one their customers..............me. Has anyone noticed that Hagerty virtually ignores Japanese cars? So seldom are they discussed that they seem non-existent. If anyone can show me where Hagerty give Japanese cars equal time, I want to see it.

I would not say equal time, but here is something.

More time means more attention, which could translate to increased premiums.

 

I'd rather be flying under the radar

Hmm, I was browsing the pictures associated with the Rising Sons article, and I noticed one of the comments made on May 6, 2014, was from a Bryan P. from Virginia, followed by one from a Carl B. from Clearwater, FL.  

 

Perhaps Bryan already knew about this article.  

 

In the links, I found this series of articles where they drove a Jensen Interceptor and 280Z on a road trip. http://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/Articles/2012/04/29/Phoenix-to-Flagstaff

 

Some others (mostly reader rides type articles)

Our Z , is loved by a small aficianado group in comparison to the hobby other classic motorcars . The values on the Z are all over board , a good thing that makes it  an affordable toy.

I get Classic Motorsports Magazine and with a few exceptions all the talk about are British cars and Ferraris. Oh, and all the expensivo auctions and Concourse d'elegances. I don't think I would be able to drive a million dollar car on the street, and I certainly wouldn't fit in at a Concourse. But when you drive your Zed on the street it gets a lot of looks, comments, and "my *fill in the blank* had one of those" and the stories just keep coming. I guess I really don't care what Hagerty thinks about my Zed as long as they keep insuring it for what I think it's worth. We have the pleasure of owning the worlds best "sleeper" classic car and still affordable to own, run, and work on. Just my 2 cents.

 

Cheers, Mike
