I've got a car for each of my kids and each of my grandchildren. They can drive them when they are at my house and on that fateful day when the Good Lord calls me home then the cars are theirs to do with as they wish. Joe Bright. Guys, We've had some of discussion about "What's going to happen to the cars" eventually, aided by my habit of buying a car and telling one or another of the kids that they'd "look good" in it. As a result, Margaret, our youngest, has her stamp on the '55 T-Bird, Andy has claimed the 67 GT500 since the day I brought it home in 1998, Catherine's name has always been attached to the '65 Mustang convertible, and Chris, our oldest, seems to think that he gets all the rest, except for the '58 Flying Spur that Christine claims will be the LAST car sold in any liquidation of the collection. I doubt that any of that will actually happen, but with the kids in their 20's and me in the later 50's (I'll be 57 on Saturday, actually...) you never know. I wouldn't want to burden any of them with the upkeep and handling of a 20+ car collection and am perfectly comfortable with the idea that any I haven't sold already will be sold by my estate if none are claimed by the kids. I firmly believe that we don't really own these cars- we simply keep them in as good or better condition than we got them for the next custodian, as the cars will be here long after most of us are gone. In the meantime, I'm gong to put as many fun miles on them as I can... Cheers, Mike Heroy CSX4045 67 GT500 #841 68 GT500 #389 85 SVO
