They are insured.
If you do not drive them - they are no longer cars.

I think Seinfeld owned that car. The difference here is they are letting an auto-journalist drive it. Those guys are notorious for breaking, crashing, and messing stuff up. And it appears they let more than one guy drive it. That is remarkable.

A hundred years ago, when I bought my Boxster, i made a point to park at the end of the lot. I would not drive in certain places etc. After a couple weeks, I realized this is your car. You can afford it. It is insured. So just drive. And since then, I just drove the car. Now, I was not stupid about it. I would not park it on the street overnight in the South Bronx or something. I also choose not to drive it in snow because I have a Subaru for that. Other than that - I just drive.

I suspect if I had the money and insurance for one of these truly classic cars, I would want to drive it. I might not take it to the supermarket, but I would drive it. No auto-journalist would though. And unlike the Boxster, I would not let my 16 year old drive it.
