Wow! You have an awesome collection. I'm hoping to be a collector one day. It will be a long time before I have anything close to what you have...nice truck, 4 bikes. I'm still paying off my small S10. It's hard with gas and insurance, especially sinse I totaled my first car, my insurance doubled. Heres my S10.

Truck looks 'Very' clean! and well kept..

What kind'a car did you total?

Collection sometimes comes with just live'n long enough ;) A couple years ago I ended up with my grand parents 61 Rambler Classic with the dealer installed clear plastic over the seats still intact! and a bit after that my mom's 72 Dodge Dart that's almost as new.. Just can't seem to part with them, so I'm no stranger to my insurance bandit!! Luckly the CBX, Dart, Cushman, Rambler and my Pontiac fall under collector car insurance so the premium is very reasonable but driving/mileage is restriced.. BTW, I was fueling up the other day and looked over at the gas pump since we were comparing numbers.. 4.05 a gallon for Super unleaded!!

Yeah that was the day after I brought it home and the dealership washed it for me. The car I totaled was a '99 Mercury Tracer. Pretty much the same thing has a Ford Escort. It didnt look that bad and it never had any problems. I didn't know that there was a such thing as insurance for collector cars. That's new to me. It sounds like your whole family kept up their cars really well too.
This is my old car after the accident.

Ouch, someone get on the binders to hard out front? Looks like you went under a bumper.. Get hurt? Bags deploy?

I got rear ended a couple years ago out on the freeway in one of our buisness trucks as traffic came to an abrupt stop, a cell phone distracted young lady never hit the brakes.. Completely destroyed her car and pushed me into the car I was following.. Hit my head on the back glass from the impact, jacked my neck.. Felt like getting hit from behind with a bat..

Classic car insurance is restricted ;) to driving to/from car shows and events, clubs ect., and an occasional outing on a sunny day.. They request and limit that you don't drive more than 2K (?) a year but they've never requested an odometer reading, although I've never had a claim.. knock knock!! The outfit mine are with wouldn't insure anything newer than about 1980 I believe..
