Default collector car insurance without garage?

Otto now look in to suspending all but comprehensive when your not
driving it. I do that with my two. Put them on and take them off all
the time. Living in Illinois there is about half a year I won't drive
them. But the comp. covers them in the garage if anything happens. As
you would be keeping the full coverage on the F100 there should not be
any hassle.
