What is the most incredible thing...

Father inlaw gave me a brand new in the box Benelli Super Nova 12 gauge... (he won it in a raffle, and was never gonna use it, so he thought I should!)

When Dad bought me a z120 snowmobile when i was 6 years old . I had so many miles on that thing when we sold it.

Two rear US90 balloon tires were given to me by a farmer who was looking at my machines at a 'Show'n'Shine'. He always wondered what they were for. He's had them for thirty years. Neat thread!

I met this elderly gentleman when I was 16 in a country town we were visiting. He had some vintage cars in his backyard and I asked if I could look at them. No problem at all and I was in heaven all afternoon. Jump ahead about 20 years and I am having all sorts of problems with the carb on my 1923 Dodge I had been restoring since I met him. My wife and I were traveling through the same country town and I said we should call in and see Mr H. He was really surprised to see me and went into his shed and bought out a perfect 1923 Dodge carb and gave it too me. He said he found it amongst his collection and thought I would like it. Still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

Very cool responses so far! I'm enjoying this one. Beats my usual rants right?!

My grand dad and my uncle gave me the last Farmall tractor grandpa had left in his shed. 1958 Farmall 450 in pretty good shape still. This was a couple years ago and grandad passed this last January. 96 years young and lived a great life! I have two boys 6 and 20 months and I guarantee it will be passed down the family line for years. I was so happy the day I loaded that thing up.

My TR200 was a gift from my wife, although it only consisted of a frame and wheels when I received it. Now she has reclaimed it as her rider after fully rebuilding it and a new engine.

This is what prompted me to create this thread...I just wanted to have some other folks post first to defer the idea that I was trying to brag.

As some of you know, my grandmother passed away recently and my father bought this and handed it down to me as my "inheritance". I all but grew up here and with my recently expanded family, it was very greatly needed.



It's a late 1800s 2-story farmhouse with an addition and sits on 5 acres of land. Included is a 35x70 pole barn/shop and the original farm barn.

I asked the neighbor when he was ready to get rid of his sons '98 TDI Jetta let me know. He gave it to me after it needed a starter. I told him and he said I'm done with it take it I don't care.

This thread was challenging for me because i did not grow up with rich parents, we were not poor but still. I am only 19, so i have no children to be graced with. So i would have to choose the environment i was raised in and the people i met along the way. That was all i could ask for. I was raised to work for what i want. And my father and his father.
Aside from that i have received a few generous gifts from my father.
My dog.
A bolt action 30-06, .243 from my father. and a 30-06, double barrel, pump 12 gauge, and pump action 30-06 inherited when my pap died.
Chinese 4 wheeler we eventually scrapped. Obvious reasons.
And, his '85 200s he got when he was 16 or so he let me ride a while back which brought me into this crazy world with the addiction to buying more and more trikes. His father bought a matching 200m which was barely ridden and garage kept and when he died it went to my cousin which babies it. It is damn near mint. I have not seen it in 10 years or more. His pride and joy. Maybe one day i can own that too.

Damn, now that's a gift.

My parents gave me a brand new 200S for Christmas in 1984. Yes, I still have it.

Fast forward 25 years >>>>>> My brother gave me a great condition 1986 Polaris Scrambler P3.

Three wheelers..... The gifts that keep on giving!

This old 3-wheeler called a 250R when I was 16. It had been sitting outside of my grandfather's shed for 10 years. Used to be my uncles. One year at Easter we loading it into the back of my step-father's truck and took it home. It taught me a lot over the years, and introduced me to these boards. As far as physical gifts I would rank this the highest.
