We all should be able to grow old and still be able to enjoy our life and car

That's an awesome story, and I hope we can all enjoy that level of fortune in our lives.  With old age comes the loss of our faculties and personally speaking, I wouldn't want to live if I no longer had the ability to be self reliant, mobile and most of all doing those things in the car of my choice...

Here Here!!  

THat clip was so good to see and when she said she loves to rev up the engine well..................that just put a smile on my face.
GOOD ON HER! I hope life goes on being good to her.

She has utter disdain for people that can't tell cars apart!  I love that sense of mischief in her voice, I would love to hang around with her.  People nowadays are a bore.

Yeah wouldn't it just be great to get together with her for a good old chin wag.

Most think this way, however it is a different story when you get there...Hard to put that *proverbial* Gun in your mouth when the time comes. Dr. Kavorkian (Spelling?) was *Helping* a few with this IIRC...
I wonder how many in her family will keep this *tradition* up when she finally does pass? Wonder if she taught her kids the same respect for cars? OR will it simply be on BJ a few weeks after her passing?

[RallyeMike]

Are you kidding me? Straight to BJ. Nobody even knows how to drive a stick car anymore...

Great story. Reminds me of a little ol' lady around here that tends bar and drives an early 50's Studebaker and a 64 Impala.

You know I've often thought that when my wife and I are gone nobody will even care about any of the possessions that meant something to us (not talking about the cars, just things in general) they won't know what significance certain items held. It will just be trash to however comes to own it and more than likely be thrown out.
I could go on but I think I'll stop................I'm starting to sound morbid!

Kevorkian only helped people who were terminally or Chronically ill, and he put them through a rigorous interview process and gave them time to think about it.   He turned down something like 10x more people than he helped, because it was a lot of people just depressed who would come to him.  Basically if you had something like Lou Gherig's disease or Terminal Cancer he'd take your case.    They made an interesting movie about him a couple years ago called 'You Don't Know Jack' with, of all people, Al Pacino playing him.   Was depressing but pretty good.

I remember seeing that a long time ago.  Wonderful story.

I can only hope I'm that spry at 101, if I even make it that far.
I admire her spark!!

Which would be the right decision if none of her heirs wanted to love the car.

Yep, we place the value on it.  It's just stuff to the next guy.  If anyone needs confirmation, just go to a "regular" auction house and watch the deceased prize possessions not get a bid.

It's not a morbid thought at all.  It's just a fact that should help keep priorities in order.

What a great old broad.  My mother-in-law, while not as old, is like her. Enjoyable clip.

I had read that she didn't want her family anywhere near it because she already knows that they don't appreciate it...

If her face looked as good as the rest of her.....................I'd marry her.   Or should I leave her for you? 

[doctor4766]

Can't marry family sorry mate. So she's all yours
