(Sept. 9) -- Who says you can't take it with you? Certainly not Lonnie Holloway.

Holloway, who recently died at age 90, skipped the traditional coffin for burial in his green 1973 Pontiac Catalina, which he had bought new, according to WJBF. The former government worker was buried in Saluda, S.C., on Tuesday.

It's not about the driving but the thought of forever being with something you consider sentimental.

I've considered being buried with my '69 Nova when I pass on.

Tenneseestorm would be proud of that Catalina.

this was all over the news here--i think it's a cool idea. After all, why not?
Gas should be cheaper in heaven for that boat, so may as well enjoy an eternal Sunday drive....
