Will I go to hell?

I'v been changing parts on a beautiful black 1985 380 SE for five years trying to get it to run. Finally, a fuel distributor install and it purrs like a kitten. After it started I shut it off and now ordered chain guides. The chain has only 5K on it though I put new guides on with the chain six years ago. Trust me, these things don't need wear to break, just a few years of age.

My kids have worried the hound out of me trying to buy that gas burning pos so I found a way to kill two birds with one stone. I'm trading it to my 24 yr old son for 'what ever he get when he sells his crotch rocket.' I know its wrong to sell a gas burner but its more about getting the kid off the death machine than getting rid of my dose of crabs.

Do you think I can sell this story to God on judgement day or will I burn?

It's a good thing that God is rich in mercy and slow to anger!!! If this would keep you out of heaven, we're all in big trouble!!

Listen to that guy, he knows these things. Personally I'd bring a canteen of water and wear thick soled shoes.

Getting your son off the motorbike has to be worth a few brownie points.

Agreed, plus he can find someone to sell the so-called POS to, then graduate to a diesel. And you will have aided and abetted him in that honorable pursuit.

That adds much to my excuse. "Lord, my goal all along was to get this boy into a 617!"

That sounds quite like some excuse Adam would have use in The Garden so I'm sure the Master has heard that storyline used too.
