We, original owners have really aged. I bought my 72 when I was 25. Now I'm 61 - scares the crap out of me!
So, at what point will we parts with our youth? I figure I have at least 15 more years with mine, but beyond that.....? No kids, no grandkids. I WILL reach the time that I'm no longer safe behind the wheel of such an antiquated vehicle, but I am perplexed! Yeah, the wife tha has supported me throughout this "trip" loves the car too. But, after six months beyond me demise (assuming I go first), what happens with the car that has been basically a child to us? Have lotsa nephews & nieces, but they would only sell it & cash in (love them all, and I would probably do the same, but it bothers me). So...how do the rest of the original owners fell? What are your plans? I've said it myself - "I'll drive it till I drop", but I wonder if that will really happen. I figure, as I age, I'll drive it more imfrequently. Parts will fail. Fuel lines will break, etc. So, will I be left with a halfway decent icon sitting in the garage when I croak? Or, should I sell it in the next 10 years. Hmmmm! Pat |
