My kids each get $15,000 towards a special interest car when they turn 21 if they are living a proper lifestyle free of alcohol, drugs, tobacco etc. They are not allowed to sell the car, it must be kept and remembered as gift from me. Our son used his $15,000 to buy a 2001 T/A WS6 convert when he turned 21 last fall, sounds like our daughter will do a similar purchase in a couple of years when it's her turn.

My thinking in this is that at least they "inherit" a car that they like, not one that dad liked. Originally I had a 67 Nova SS for our son, a 65 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe for our daughter but they both admitted to liking new Trans Ams better. Why try to make them like a car that is not their style?

And I get to see them enjoy their inheritance to boot!

Problem is, 30K sure cut in to my hobby fund.....

My Judge was sold by the children of the guy who spent years gathering up NOS parts to restore it. He passed before he could see his dream car completed, and a member here bought it and I purchased it shortly after that. It seems they didn't know what they had.

My cars are all listed in my will by vin # and will be left to my kids. We had a candid discussion before I had surgery and there was no arguing over who gets what. Good idea to handle these things before something happens. You guys over 50 like me, if you have health issues, you should have "that talk" with your spouse and have everything laid out, who to call, who to contact, insurance polices, etc... "Open this after I'm gone, has all the info you will need".

The car will be part of the estate and it will be sold and the money will go to my favorite lobby group.

Well, I'm 35--hope it's not an issue for a long time!

My wife couldn't care less about the car and it would be sold to whomever.

My daughter; however, loves it and has already staked claim to it. In fact, she wants to drive it when she turns 16! We are blessed, though. We're expecting a little boy mid April and she may have to fight him for it!

Hopefully won't be an issue for years to come. Being that this is a hobby, my car may have very well been converted into another car/cars by then....
