The premise of this topic: If offered car X for free, would you drive it, sell it or say "no thanks"?

This is assuming you only get the car: your gas, insurance, and maintenance budgets are exactly what they are right now and any other variables (carting a family around, lack of parking, whatever they may be) also stay the same.

I'll try to post a new car daily.

Feel free to add commentary. Most cars will be complete with pictures, and you're getting the car as pictured: so if I post a skeleton of a burnt wreck out in a scrapyard, you're getting what you see.

And yes, you'd have to keep the rims.

Looks awesome, but could you handle getting groceries in a car formerly used to transport dead bodies? Of note: hearses are known for having quite high resale value.

Personally I'll call the Caddy a drive, and this one a sell. Can't work construction driving to work on one of these; there's no room for tools.

Depends... can I put offroad tires on it and swamp it in my friend's backyard BMX course for a laugh? Will it get me a job as a pizza delivery boy only to have a guy named Carl Johnson kill me every day?

If no to the answers above, then sell.

Why would I choose 'no thanks' over 'sell'?

Hmm, though realistically selling isn't as easy and you might get stuck with it...
That said, I deny the scooter or whatever the fuck, economy-motorbike, that is.

Sell, but I'd have a laugh driving it before the sale.
