I hear you Scott ;
I hate that it's visibly rusting, he makes over $87K / year, maybe not much $ to many here but well over twice what I ever made in a single year .
A guy I know told me he'd give my son $32,000.00 for it sight unseen
and I told him thinking he'd grab it having a house, kids and so on but no....
Go figure .
He did take a few vintage VW's, good .
I wonder how much will be left by the time he decides to touch it again .
I agree, we cannot expect our children to have the same interests as we do, my father was a world famous Oncologist (and jerk to boot), we shared very little in interest so I understand my son's lack of interest in all my old cars, parts, tools, books and crap .
I've tried to get him interested in selling it all off, nope, not interested so it'll all go in the county dump after I'm dead I guess .
SWMBO keeps telling me to get a few (!) roll off dumpsters and pay someone to empty out the house, garage and back yard, be done with it all but I grew up with nothing and worked oh so hard to get all this junk, now I have difficulty letting go if it .
I've been giving away Motocycles and parts here and there for a good twenty years and haven't made a dent yet .
Sigh .
I really like hearing about an 18 Y.O. Woman taking interest, that's great .
