Old gummers only... no young whippers on this thread.

[M.T.]

OK so I have an opportunity to sell a 1974 Volvo ES1800 for some pretty good coin. The old guy who wants it I'm sure is going to try to turn it for a buck most likely back in Sweden. Its a very nice and straight California car with no rust. For you guys that aren't as familiar with the off shore tin its the old James Bond station wagon Volvo. The money would be nice but Id just piss it away into another vehicle.

I also know a kid that has been drooling over this car for a few years now. He doest have the cash and most likely never will but for some reason I'm thinking about giving this young gun the car of his life. Can you remember the first really cool ride you got? Did someone help you get into it? This kid has nobody and is a hard working guy that has a heart of gold. Not my kid but just an acquaintance. I keep thinking of when I got started in cars and the doors that opened for me to make it possible to get a few very nice cars. For some reason I keep thinking this young buck is supposed to have it. It could cost me several thousand dollars but I'm thinking seriously about getting this young man in this car some how. Id give it to him outright but I'm thinking nothing in this world is free nor should it be so maybe let him make a few payments and then give it too him? This would be the ride of his life time. I'm thinking a random act of kindness might be in order here... Thoughts

They say with age comes wisdom so what would you old gummers do? help me out here. They also say age not beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... so you decide how old you are when you can wear the Old Gummer Title...
