New Callaway owner, but did I get ripped off?

Jon, can you fit an "Ag-Tag" on the car??

In my state, we can use "Farm Use" placards to go to and from the farms, to get supplies, go to Church, or other family related duties. :ugh

If you run a Farm Use placard, no registration is then needed ;squint:


You should have seen the look on "Callaway4Fun's" face when I showed up to Carlisle w/ a Farm Use placard on the back of the one Callaway Classic! :cool

Not that I know of, but I'll check into it. We do have a 3 day limited use permit in AZ, but technically it is used to allow driving the car for repairs, emissions testing, and inspection only.

Plus, in the case of the 3 day permits, there is insurance to consider. The car isn't insured for driving, only storage. My agent is pretty good about covering me for trailering/minimal driving it to shows periodically, but I hate to abuse the privelege.

Well, on the bright side, that Speedster couldn't be a more attractive sculpture/trophy for the dining room.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll survive.

Actually, the only thing I'm kind of regretting is buying a car I can't really drive and enjoy. What's keeping me from doing that is the low miles and it still being on the CO (can't register it without titling it).

So I guess I have two choices - either go ahead and title it so I can drive it once in a while, or buy another Callaway. The first option is the easiest, but I'll have to think hard about about what that means to the value of the car.

I say register it and drive it so you can get full enjoyment out of it.
Speedsters are so rare if you take good care of the car, use shouldn't diminish it's value.

PS; when the car first came to Old Lime it did have a roof.

Actually, it had two. For some reason it was ordered with both a soft top and hard top. Strange, considering what it was headed for...

Eeuhh... Is this the topic where I can sign up for the passengers-seat test drive?

Groeten Peter.

If it is, can I be behind you in line for the rides?

Hmmm - Maybe I should sell rides at the Bowling Green show to fund another Callaway.

At least, that would give you an excuse to get some driving in.
