Folks Of Interest How Emotional are you when it comes to your car (s) Or are you?

I treat my cars like horses... they are there to do a job first and foremost... but I bond with them like any other cowboy & steed. I have regretted every car I've sold.

 

Emotional ? { YES ! } Like Mark said, when you know every nut, and bolt, and have driven them all around the country. I have slept in my delivery at many events over the years. I think maybe one of my kids may have been conceived in it. lol I still have my Dad's 1967 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that he bought new. I still have my first car too, a 1968 Vette. I got it while I was in high school { 1970. } I've had my 34 Dodge sedan delivery, and my 29 A coupe, { Low U.f.O. } since the late 70's. Our family driver is a 1956 Nomad, that we've had for over 25 years. My 31 model A Hemi sedan for over 15 years ? They all have a lot of great memories, and stories. Like my Wife of 50 years, I love them more each year. lol And they are all lifers. I've had, and have cars that I'm not attached to also. But these^^^I'm Emotionally attached ! Ron...

 

Only this one is a keeper. I’ve had it since ‘58-59 and my dad bought it new in 1929. When I rebuilt it a few years back, I put over 2,000 of my own hours in it, often thinking of my father. I hope one of my kids or grandkids will take care of it when I am gone.

All other cars can be gone with no regrets; anyone interested in my 51 392? ?

I’ve spent a small fortune on it and know I’ll never get it back, but it is time for someone else to take care of it.

 

I have had quite a few different cars over the years. Mine have been fifties cars because it is what I like. The 57 in my Avatar is my first car from back in 1964 and it will stay with me til the end (whatever that means). My Son and my Nephew are both car guys. They have muscle cars but they grew up around my car. My son already has my 72 Barracuda that I bought new and another we restored together. He can do whatever he wants with the 57 when I am gone.

 

I've had over 100 cars (maybe a lot more then that) since I got my license back in 1972. I have sold a lot of them over the years. Of all of those cars I've sold, I've only ever considered wanting one of them back, but that may have been because the one that replaced it was an uncooperative pile.

The coupe in my Avatar has been in the family a lot of years. We have enjoyed it a lot, if someone showed up wanting to buy it, I may miss it for a bit (mostly for the memories connected with it), at least until I figure out what I want to do with the money it brought in.

Its the same deal with my 49 Dodge truck. There are already memories attached to the truck. If it went away tomorrow, I'd miss it until I got a replacement for it.

The appliance vehicle my wife drives has been here longer then any other vehicle we have ever owned. Its been a very reliably car. We would only miss it for that reason. I don't believe that would be an emotional thing
