Yes the trouble is I just can't keep up with all these Junkers. I need to cut down but whitch ones?????? I have been thinking about giving each one of my grandkids one. I got 8 grandkids and they would not know what to do with them I bet.The young kids don't think like us. My days are getting shorter so where they go I won't have any say so I guess.This will happen to you all also someday.MY OLD DOG is smarter then most kids today.

Redneck way to go, the car looks great along with you and your patner. Good for you!
Like you said we won't know anyway what happens when we leave, so leave it at that, you can only request where you think they should go, hopefully if not a family member maybe to someone that at least thinks like we do and it will be off to another good home.
