Got some friends in that side of the vehicle insurance business (claims). They said if a vette is crashed or burned, they go through it like a fine tooth comb. LOL They will pull codes from the pcm. IMO that's fucked up, like not paying life insurance if someone dies in a skydiving incident. Fuggers. BTW, I don't have insurance with any one I know. LOL

will they really not cover that? i know your not covered at the track and i know your not covered for extras but i thought you were covered for any reason on the street. if you crash drunk you are covered.

Yeah, I think he is covered but, as soon as they cut the check he is GONE!!!!!! He won't be able to get decent insurance rates for a LONG time.

If they find it was caused by n20 they will NOT cover it. That is a real sticky situation. If somehow they find out it was caused by n20 after it's removed he is jammed up for insurance fraud.

they'll cover it right away (EDIT***or at least tell you they will). but due to what vehicle it is, they said they will check it hard and act like they aren't. if it was a ford escort with 3 bottles and a twin 300shots, they'd never look. That's what I was told. who knows what the real rules are, just saying what a chic i know says who works in State Farm claims.

a friend's roommate's nephew's cousin's sister's uncle....sorta thing IMO. but it makes sense.

i dont think it matters if you have nitrous of anything for that matter. they are still going to cover it unless there are exceptions in your policy.

the only exception i remember was no coverage while at a track.

edit. oh yeah, they added in terrorism in there too and maybe damage due to war. i think those things are excluded.

Some insurance will cover your mods provided you keep receits but I don't know what they would say to this!
That thing looked beautiful with the powder coated rims too...unless they are black from the fire!!
