Default If you died what would happen to your Porsche?

Since I still owe a year on mine, I'd have a family member take my life insurance policy and pay it off. Then use it as my casket, removing the seats of course so they can be used in the pool room for guests.

Weird question. We owe nothing on it. I told my wife to sell it for whatever she can get for it and put the money in the retirement account. She can't drive it so it is of no use to her. We both love the car and everything about what it is, but in the end it is just a car. There are a lot more important things in life to worry about.

It would probably be consumed by the fire resulting from the crash in which I died.

Considering the place I posed the question I think it's not too wierd a question and it was meant as light hearted. Of course I know there are a lot more important things in life to worry about Debbie Downer. Sheesh. Things like Sapphire Gin and Tonics, Vida Guerra and stuff......

My wife would keep driving it everyday like she does now. I suppose she will have to find another mechanic.

My wife would sell mine as fast as possible. She refers to both Porsches' I've owned as "an engine with a stereo."

To Vida!

My wife has joked (I think she's joking) that I will be buried in it. Strap me in behind the wheel, dig a hole, and drop it in. However, I think the reality would be that I'll be put in a plywood box and my son's would battle over the cars, three boys and two Porsche's.

As others have mentioned, I intend to proceed through the pearly gates backwards, possibly upside-down, on fire. The authorities are welcome to load my Porsche onto a flatbed and haul it around to high schools as a precautionary tale about safe driving.
