What would you do if....

[MaxHarvard]

.... 20 years after you sold your car, someone calls you up and says, "i now own your car"

What would you say/not say? would you be happy? sad?

Just curious, i found the old owner of my car when he bought it in 1984. I'm considering calling him.

I sold my Camaro a few years ago on eBay. Solely for the reason that I wanted it to disappear from my city. I don't want to see/know anything about it.

I wanted to remember it the way I always loved it.

Why did you want it disappear? I'm curious.

Call the guy, he may be in another city and not want to know what happened to his Camaro, LOL.

Do you want to ask him a question about your cars past? If not then I dont see the need to call him. I'd like to track down some of my old cars to buy them back but that is a whole different story.

Yea, the main point is to get more background on the car, who bought it, what for...etc...

My question to you is, what would you do if someone called you?

A lot depends on what kind of buyer the person is...The gentleman who bought my last project, I still talk to whenever he has questions. I made very sure that when he was looking at the car that I told him about every known shortcoming the car had, or things I had meant to do or improve on, but never did...My Dad still sees the guy at shows with it.

Sure, if, 20 years from now, someone was to look me up, I'd be glad to see any of my old cars again, no matter what shape it was in, since I knew I had given it my best effort during the time I'd had it....

A couple of reasons:
- If he beat it to crap, I couldn't handle seeing it.
- Also, if he wanted to re-do it, I also wouldn't have to see it.

The point is simply keeping the car, in my mind, what it always was to me. An unspoiled memoryif you will.
