I was at a complete stop at a redlight today and some guy in a mini van rear ends me out of no where. Now I'm worried that my car insurance will go up. I didn't even do anything wrong. I was at a complete stop at a red light. The guy who hit me had no DL or proof of insurance. I'm depressed....

It's always the people with no insurance or shitty insurance who are the dumbasses that crash into you. Sucks to hear about this, but your rates shouldn't go up since you're not at fault.

My question would have to be, WHY were you driving the car to begin with?

+1. My exact first thought. Now it's not as mint as it was before!

Whats the point of having a car and not driving it. Lol. Theres alot of mint cars out there that have been smashed. Just repaired a brand new corvette that was totaled.

Can you quick quote my post and highlight where I SPECIFICALLY said "You may not drive your car."? Oh wait...

My reasoning would be as follows: We live in Minnesota. It is winter. This car is a rare color. It has less than 50,000 miles on it. There are a lot of idiot drivers on the streets. Winter = ice, ice + roads = sliding.

Even if the person who rear-ended you did not slide on ice, sliding would have been on my mind.

(My GS-T is in storage with 160k miles. My TSi AWD is in storage with 118k. It has seen the winter twice this year. Both times were with little snow.)

A new Corvette is far from rare. Mint? Meh'. Its new so, yeah... But a 1994 with less than even 30k on the clock? No...
