Hey Kris,
I haven't really had a chance to fully look into this after we talked about this at rotorfest, but I just gave it a quick look on the net and found some info, I hope this serves as valuable to some of the "non" daily driver sevens such as yourself and I.

Certain vehicles are exempt from inspections, but they do vary, so be sure to check what is required for yours.

To be classified as a "collector vehicle" you need to apply when you register and make sure that the vehicle:

1. Is not registered as a "historic vehicle" or a "street rod"
2. Is not driven more than 3,000 miles per year (proof available at odometer
reading)
3. Is insured as a limited use "collector vehicle"

Info found here....
http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Inspectio...clesExempt.htm

So i guess what I take from this info is you have to get in touch with your insurance company to switch them over to "collector insurance" then reregister your car with the state as "collector". Than every year you have to take it to the inspection station, NOT for any emmisions test though, just so they can see you have not driven more then 3,000 miles and make sure your odometer works alright. Sounds like a great deal if its true.

Both of those companies are ridiculously strict. As in you cannot take your car to work, you cannot park your car anywhere but your garage and the show. You MUST have a daily driver that is under 5 yrs old and <100,000 miles. Complete waste of my time.

I think one of the best things to do would be an Agreed Value Policy.

You might be able to get an agreed value policy with your DD carrier and get some discounts
