    Reminds me the scene from 'Married with children' when the Dodge gone wrong and they were burying it in the backyard. In his grief, Al leaped into the hole onto the hood and Peggy started showeling soil on both of them.

    At a graveyward about 20 min away from my house, you can see the final resting place of a man and his original Corvette ZR-1. Apparently, he bought about 8 plots for it back in the 90's and after they drained all the fluids, they did the same thing as this guy.

    So his expectations of the afterlife involve navigating his Pontiac across a barren wasteland where weaponry will necessary?

    Rest in peace, man....in PEACE.

    Sounds like he expects the afterlife to be a Mad Max-type reality.

    To me, if you truly loved a car, you wouldn't want to see it destroyed even if you died. Pass it on to a grandchild or a collector who will take care of it or something.

    It's like Leno says about his Cord. I forget the name of the man who restored it, but Jay basically said "I own it now, but he restored it. I won't be the last person to own it, but no matter what, it will always be his car."

    @AustinMiniMan: Heart-click. I respect Mr. Holloway's wishes, but if you love a car, wouldn't you want it to pass into the hands of someone else who will love it?

    Besides, so many '70s B- and C-bodies have been slain in demo derbies that not too many are left.

    Some archeologist 2,000 years from now will dig it up and speculate about who he is. A, powerful king, or leader of a mysterious religion. Buried with all the honors and implements of his power.

    Ashes to Ashes, may Mr. Holloway's earthly kingdom serve him well in the next life.

    Though if they really wanted to give him the big send off, they'd have set the Pontiac on fire and rolled it into the Detroit River.

    @mytdawg: I hate to be buzzkillington, but it's a common mis-conception that just because the city is dirty, the river is too. I lived, and boated in Detroit for many years and wouldn't hesitate to eat fish out of the river, or go swimming in it for that matter. If you want a dirty river near Detroit check out the Clinton River. Or Metro beach. Both are leaps and bounds worse. Now, who wants to hear a story about a train?
