Quite a few kids take it all for granted and drive crazy or otherwise abuse the cars they're "given." My 2 pesos.

You aren't prying.
I have no idea. She just tells me she is going to fix it. Which is humorous because she is a seamstress and would not have enough money to restore that car. And she is close to retiring. I have several theories why she doesn't. 1) She got it in the divorce so it is some kind of trophy against my father because he loved that car. Did I tell you my father cheated on my mother and got married to his mistress? 2) She keeps telling me that she will leave it to me in her will but not to tell my sisters. My two younger sisters have expressed interest in the car as well but I think they have the same stupid ideas in their head as my mother. That it is worth a lot of money. Yeah, sure, after you pour half your life earnings into it... Especially considering the shape it is in. I think my mom doesn't want my sisters to feel like I am being favored. Mind you, my other two sisters never have expressed any interest in cars and one has filed for bankruptcy and the other has considered it. It's frustrating. My mom is one of those types of people though, if you push her too far, she won't blink twice to hold a grudge. Don't want to make my Mommy mad in other words.
