Lightbulb Thinking outside the box

Just a thought, what would it take for cobra owners club to collectively form an insurance company or group underwrite its members?

The club could enforce safety restrictions, inspections, etc. and have collective bargining power with underwiters.

With say 20,000 members at $1k/year its a 20 million dollar blanket policy - not huge but perhaps significant enough to attract the attention of underwriters (or a group of them to share the risk).

Don't have my Cobra yet - but after spending 50K or more it would be kinda nice to be able to drive it - and personally I would feel safer if other senior owners/mechanics had looked it over.
