Where is all your car stuff going when you go to heaven?

[abodyjoe]

My friend said the same thing. Then after she died the whole family fell apart due to fighting and court cases over who get's what.....

again, i'll be dead. no worries for me.

 

[memike]

Nice car

Thank you

Ride her hard and put her away wet Mike. That's a really nice little Valiant. Probably my favorite one. Nice and simple. Good color combination. The styling for that year might has well be a coupe Barracuda....or vice versa

I agree, a Plymouth barracuda sedan, and always thought that myself. Thank you Jeff and I will do my best.

What year is it?

It's a 66 sedan Dan, our was you kidding. Lol

 

[missing linc]

I don't get it, either. I remember chomping at the bit to get my license when I turned 16. Of course, back then, I had already been driving a while anyway, but the license made it legit. Kids nowadays just son't care.

Same here, first time my dad let me drive I was 10 years old. Got my license on my 16th birthday, that was 46 years ago today.

 

[junkyardhero]

Sure.

But your (my)folks said the same about your (my) generation. And our folks' folks, and their folks, and their folks' folks, and….

The kids are definitely fuсkin' it up for the previous generations — dismantling what they built, changing their rules, picking and choosing which of their manners and values and customs and priorities they keep and which ones they discard, butchering the language, etc. They do stuff, say stuff, wear stuff that scandalizes their parents. Every generation of kids does it; they make society and civilization the way they want it. And every generation of adults bіtches and moans about it, to not much effect.

It sucks for us oldsters, because beyond a certain age we start to feel like foreigners in what was our own world. No, I do not freakin' want my car (…flyswatter, toilet, etc) on the internet. I want to control my car with buttons, levers, and knobs, not a touchscreen. I want nothing to do with 'artificial intelligence'. If I never hear the words "infotainment" or "influencer" or "content creator" again, that's grand. I don't want a "smart" home; I want the regular dumb kind where I get the hell up off my aѕѕ and turn the lights on and off with switches on the wall, and they light up in one (1) colour. I am not going to smash those Like and Subscribe buttons, and you're not getting a 5-star review from me or a 20% tip at checkout just for doing your job. Et cetera.

Every single day, the ease and likelihood is less of my getting my way on any of this. But it works for the kids, overall. Not all of it, of course. They make hardships for themselves (just like we did) that could have been avoided if they'd (we'd) just listened to their (our) elders. But they usually don't; they never have. That's just the way it is, and it's mostly okeh. They make the world work the way they want, more or less, just like we did, and our parents, and their parents, on back through the ages.

and furthermore Dan, i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that they all habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... reefers!

Wow. Great post, thank you!

Now get off my lawn!

 

[MDchanic]

Someone will come and auction all of it off, and what remains will go into the dumpster.

Kid has zero interest, no nieces, nephews, friends' kids, etc. My father has a huge collection of stuff, it'll all go to me, then into aforementioned dumpster after I die.

Unless the simmering revolution really happens, in which case it may all get blown up, or need to be abandoned.

Either way, the chance I'll be alive in 20 years is minimal, and it won't matter then.

My wife and her sister spent a year of her life getting rid of her parents stuff. I probably would have tossed most of it but that is another conversation. I won't leave my cars for my wife to deal with (men usually go before their wives....there is a joke there). As eluded to, when that time comes our Mopar stuff may be worthless anyway.

 

[TT5.9mag]

If I kick the bucket my brother can deal with my dart.

@TT5.9mag can have the duster since he wants it anyways.

Anything after that I hope will be settled by a cage match last man standing wins.

Me:
Takes this thread to Notary public

I’m getting me a duster just need to find a friend that owns a concrete company.

 

[JDMopar]

I'm going to state in my will who will get my vehicles and any guns that I allegedly have. I don't have kids and none of my nieces or nephews would be interested in any of the stuff. My diesel truck, cars, and the alleged guns will all go to younger guys I used to work with. My 50 year parts stash will be pared down to only what is needed for spares for remaining cars here in a few years. My spare 340 motors will go to a younger friend who is a member of this board and lives fairly close to me. Tools and garage equipment will be the only stuff left, and it's all just stuff.

i may have a decided advantage... being three raccoons means i've got the numbers on my side!

And it is THOSE Millennials, Gen Y and gen Z brats that are doing their best to screw things up royally. They want to work from home, and they want a starting salary bigger than what the guy who has been there 20 years gets. They want to buy everything online. They refuse to go to a store and try clothes on. They find places online that will fit their clothes for them. They don't go out to eat; they either have Door Dash deliver it to them or they subscribe to one of those services that ships semi-prepared meals to you. All you have to do is open the packages and warm it up. A lot of them just want to live in an apartment in a big city, not own a car, and leave their home as little as possible. If you wonder why brick and mortar stores that have been around for decades, here you are.

Yes, I see a lot of that especially in the burbs.
Yea, it can be hard to shop at the grocery because of all the peeps that call in an order for such and the store has 3 dozens workers shopping for these types!!
I heard just this AM that the average age of a home buyer today is like 54. What does that say?
People refer to the "kid" that is twenty or thirty something that still lives with their parents, and the ones that want a starter home but can not afford a $400,000 house!!!! The "kids" that can not drive a stick, wives that can not cook, the husband thinks milk originates in a plastic jug and can not skin a deer!

My goal is to die with one old classic that I am still working on, have all my parts that are NOT spares for that ride GONE, have sold to some one cheap! Give some away to a friend that appreciates it all. Stepson gets my tools, keep what he wants.

My daughters and her kids but live 600 miles away, and they care less about anything I care about anyway. Just life.

As a younger man i did a little MMA fighting. That wont help now because im old. But I did stay at a holiday inn express once. So I’m sayin the raccoons are toast!!

 

[junkyardhero]

wow, some real grievance miners doing hard work in this thread.

i'd expect nothing less...

i dunno man, there is a "melee" setting and something marked "scramble missiles" that i've not activated and frankly i'm kinda scared to.

also, i may be so hopped up on sour patch kids that i may not feel any pain what so ever.

Do you really want to risk being beaten by a man in flip flops? Even if you win….you beat a man that can’t tie laces. Pick your battles friend.

Did you know the propaganda film "Reefer Madness" went immediately into the public domain as soon as it was released, because its makers fuсked up the copyright notice? True. It can be watched (colourized, upscaled to 4K) for free on the Internet archive.

(imagine the conniption fit our grandparents and their parents might have at the very idea of wrecking a black-and-white movie by adding colour to it. Kids today! The absolute nerve! Hell in a handbasket, I tells ya!)
