Default Would you own and drive a used hearse?

Let's say you can have ONLY ONE car in the garage...

You find this used hearse. Best deal you can find. You CANNOT beat this deal; it's almost like you're getting it for free. It also has great gas mileage, fast performance (for a hearse), reliable, and handles like Heaven.

Would you do it?



BTW, Happy Halloween...

Unless you want to get hexed ... Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee used to drive a used 1959 Cadillac hearse around ......

Logistically I should be able to say 'yes'; but I don't think I could do it.

We're all going to ride in one sooner or later.

The one thing I DO like about them, though, even before I take my final trip on one, is the heavy frame and the smooth, cushy ride. Cadillac, for the most part, has given up smooth-riding vehicles like this in their pursuit of sport and semi-sport sedans.

A friend of mine used to play in a death metal band and they bought a hearse to get to gigs in. Never saw it but thought that was pretty funny.

Not my choice for a daily beater though.

This might be better, at least it's a limo, so you go better than most people too.

Before you end up in the skies, make sure to write the review on that ride

I would just convert the hearse into an Ecto1 mobile from "Ghostbusters" There is a old shop on a backroad near our house that has two Ecto one conversions in the front that look exactly like the one from the movie.
