Nor me.

I think it's because we're emotionally attached to them.  Others, like car dealers or those just turning cars may not be.

  Perhaps for the "right $$$$??????????????????????"


How about driving a 1981 DeLorean for $880 a day, or taking a spin in a 1967 Pontiac GTO for $215?

In its effort to get a slice of the mushrooming car-sharing revolution as well as build interest in historic cars among a generation raised on Uber, an auto insurance agency announced this week that it's getting into the business.

Hagerty, a Michigan-based insurer that specializes in classic cars, is going to jump-start its entry through its purchase of Classics&Exotics, which it is renaming DriveShare.

Several hundred cars ranging from a vintage Ford Model A to a new Lamborghini Aventador are going to be available in dozens of U.S. cities, the agency says. Hagerty said each one will be vetted by its experts to ensure a trouble-free experience. Those interested in renting the cars need to be at least age 30. And they need be aware that they're driving someone's baby.

"Our main focus is building out of the 'trust engine,'" says Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty, whose family company started out insuring wooden boats and graduated to vintage automobiles. He expects the selection of cars to grow as current insurance customers get wind of the service.

"The equation is a reputable car on one side, owned by someone who'd like to make some extra money and share the vehicle they love. And on the other, a thoughtful driver who is careful and curious about what these amazing machines are all about," he said.
