Yeah, insurers can be a bit jumpy about mileage, especially with classics. I remember when I first got my policy, they practically interrogated me over every mile—felt like I was on trial for just wanting to cruise on weekends. But honestly, once I showed them photos of my garage setup and explained how rarely the car actually hits the road, they chilled out pretty quickly. They're mostly worried about people sneaking in daily drivers under classic policies (can't blame them, really... some folks do push their luck).
Still, these new city rules seem a bit overkill to me. I get they're trying to tidy things up or whatever, but classic cars aren't exactly the main problem clogging city streets. Feels like they're targeting the wrong crowd here. Hopefully they'll ease up once they realize we're not out here joyriding every day—just enthusiasts trying to keep our rides safe and sound.

I completely agree with this point—classic cars are usually the least of our worries when it comes to congestion. Most owners keep them parked up safely most of the time anyway. The real issue is probably daily commuters and delivery vehicles, right? Seems like the city council might be going after the easier target rather than addressing the root cause...
You're spot on about classic cars not being the main culprits here. Honestly, most classic car owners I know treat their vehicles like prized family heirlooms—they're hardly out there causing traffic jams every morning. If anything, these new rules seem more symbolic than practical, like the city council wants to look proactive without tackling tougher issues head-on.
From my experience, daily commuters and delivery trucks are definitely bigger contributors to congestion. Just yesterday, I was stuck behind a delivery van double-parked right in the middle of rush hour traffic—talk about irony! Maybe the council should focus more on streamlining delivery schedules or improving public transit options instead of targeting classic car enthusiasts who rarely even hit the road.
I get wanting cleaner streets and less clutter, but let's be realistic... restricting classic cars won't suddenly clear up downtown traffic overnight. Feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, doesn't it?
Fair points, but honestly, classic cars parked long-term on crowded streets can be a real pain too. My neighbor's vintage Mustang hasn't moved in months—it's practically become a local landmark. Maybe dedicated storage spots could help everyone out a bit...
Dedicated storage sounds good in theory, but who's footing the bill? City budgets aren't exactly overflowing... Maybe owners should chip in somehow if their cars become semi-permanent street fixtures?
