Uses for old Hearses

  I always wanted a hearse since I was a little kid. For some reason I am fascinated with these custom cars used for your last ride. So about 10 years ago, a used car lot had an old 1980s Buick hearse for sale on. My dad swore he saw an elderly couple looking at the hearse when he drove by the car lot one day. Years later I came up with a joke about that. Here is that joke. One day there was this elderly couple who was looking at a used hearse. The salesman came over to the couple and asked them are you going to use that for your funeral?
   Anyway I thought of some really cool uses for old hearses. Since there is no backseat in a hearse, there is plenty of space for putting things when you are moving or helping a friend move out. The rollers for the casket would come in handy for sliding boxes or furniture down so you can have more room to put more junk in the back.
Hearses are great for moving
  Also a hearse is also ideal for junk pickers. When I was a little boy, the city of Hazleton, PA would have a junk drive every spring. The junk drive was the only time of year you could literally throw away anything away in the garbage with no restrictions whatsoever. In fact I remember people who would drive
their crappy hatchbacks and station wagons packed full of junk and drive up and down the streets looking through all of the various junk that people tossed away. It was literally The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.  Sadly the city of Hazleton allows you to toss anything away at any given week now so the Junk Drive is sadly no more. However a hearse would be great for picking up junk that people throw out.
  Did I mention that hearses are great for yard sales as well? Nothing will be able to turn heads at a yard sale by no other than a hearse. You can go to yard sale to yard sale with your hearse and not run out of room thanks to the large amount of space. Yes you might get stared at and talked about but don't let that bother you too much.
   You can even enter it in car shows and car cruises. Hearses always attract crowds and get a good reaction with the spectators. Bringing an old hearse to a car show or car cruise guarantees a lot of questions from people. People will ask you is it haunted or are you a little bit creeped out by the hearse? Just say no.
   A great use for an old hearse is using it for a haunted trail, or haunted hayride. Have it parked outside your event and you will attract visitors to your Halloween Attraction. Be sure you have a casket with it.
  Finally you can Kustomize it. Custom hearses are always cool. Especially lowrider hearses with black satin paint, ghost flames and hydraulics and spinners.
