WHAT TO DO WITH FERRARI STUFF WHEN YOU DIE

DON'T give it to the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles. They have a large room full of stuff just sitting there for 10 years, because they are too cheap/lazy to set up a library and make the information available.

And LOL with the thing of 1-800- got junk

 

Close. I'm leaving my Ferrari to my neice who is in her early twenties. I'll have to provide pedal blocks for her though. She is sleek, low and racy. Then she and here boyfriend or husband, whichever, can sell it for a chevy or something.

While I dont plan to die anytime soon, I have thought about this. Imagine if all the people who had owned older Ferraris had been buried with them. Keep doing that and they will all soon be gone. Thats not right guys, people need to see these cars. What I hope to do, is find a way to give the cars away to some lucky enthusiast. Maybe it could be a new FerrariChat thread "Who wants to own a Ferrari?". Everyone wills their Ferrari to Fchat, and when you die, we have a poll as to who gets the car. Has to go to a first time owner who has more enthusiasm than money, and they have to keep the car 3 years or give it back to Fchat. Or something like that. Maybe my daughter will want the stuff.

 

I promise to take good care of them and cherish them and keep them in my safe if I have the possession

 

How about I do this instead. I will amend my will to state that it is to be printed in my obituary in the newspaper that all my Ferrari paraphernalia goes to my life partner Horsefly.

 

LMAO!!

 

Apparently we have a Senator on the board!

 

My stuff is all going to my kitty-cats.

 

There's a guy, Dave Gunn of NH, who supposedly has nearly 1 ton's worth of collectables for sale($35,000. for the lot---will not part out) and will deliver it in 1-2 days to buyer. Appears he's not waiting around.

 

On an unserious note, get cremated with it all.

 

No way (cremation)!!

My die casts represent the entire history of the company, and my library at retail is easily thousands $$$!!!

I'll try to keep it together with one of my kids, or they can maybe donate it to a larger collector or something!

 

If you want you can send it all to me, I'll keep it for you for the second coming!

 

Give it your family or FerrariChat members

 

Simple. Drive it to heaven. It takes less organisation that being picked up in a golden chariot by angles. Well, that’s my plan, sort of.

Then again:

Each generation has its own icons; the previous generation’s stuff often ends up being an anchor to the descendants. Think of the huge house in the English countryside. During its heyday staff were easy to get and the place ran, now the public are trooped through in an effort to get enough cash to repair the sagging roof. Lucky descendants.

A Ferrari is a fussy internal combustion engined vehicle that needs high priced (and difficult to find) parts and a serious oil/gasoline distribution infrastructure for it to work. It also needs someone in the know to fettle the thing, to shim and adjust like mad so that it runs well. And an interested driver.

So, do you see the world as remaining so unchanged that this complicated device will run well enough to make the next person happy? If you do give it to someone who will enjoy it, if you don’t have your estate sell it and give the cash to someone who will enjoy the money, someone thoughtful and kind. Like me, well, yes, ME! Tell you what. I’ll put some of the cash in the trunk of my car when I go on the heaven road trip myself, that way you’ll get a bit back.
