Well "our" bird was bought new by HER father in 69 and "we" inherited it. When it needs something, and it needs everything, or it costs money, which it always does, somehow it's about "ME" but when we are talking to people at at show etc it's "HER" car. Basically I just lose. But I did get a car out of the deal I guess. And that is pretty cool.
Although inheriting an old car is a lot like the gift of an elephant...
The Maharajahs of India used to give the nobles they didn't like the gift of an elephant. It was a great honor to have an elephant and to receive one. They were a sacred and revered animal. BUT... you could never get rid of it because it was such an honored gift and the [censored] things cost a near fortune to keep! All the food and care. And they lived a long long time.
So if you don't like someone... I mean really love someone... give them an old car! Such an honored gift! LOL
