Greasepit misfits invade nursing home

Some of you guys may have already done this in your home town, if not, it is a great thing to do for everyone involved. Last month the Greasepit Misfits along with some othe misc. gearheads had a small cruise in at the Murphy Medical Center Nursing Home. They played 50's music and provied snacks and refreshments for everyone. They had a ball seeing the old cars and talking to some new people about old memories.Some walked aroud on thier own and others were in wheel chairs, but they were all having a great time. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My car is the black deuce coupe. Remember, we will all grow old unfortunately.

 

Excellent!

 

That is so great. I love this! Senior Citizens need this!!!! Tirezan 1 you guys did one incredible thing!

 

good on you and friends very good Karma

 

A few years back my club did this too. We also donated a huge big screen TV for their lounge, which was very much appreciated (and easy on old eyes). TVs are cheap now, get your club involved! Gary

 

way to go,thats an idea that needs its props.I never thought of that and its genius!

 

great idea, i got no club but would love to join in and do it .

 

That's a great idea.When my mom was in a nursing home,I met old folks who remembered everything,and could tell the best stories of Back When.Good for you guys doing that.

 

I know how I would feel if a group of guys thought enough to do this for guys like me someday ! Thats Awesome ! Hats off !

 

thats pretty cool glad to see stuff like what you guys did.

 

Outstanding!!!

 

Very nice!

 

Good job......

 

Good for you guys, the old folks will talk about that day for a long time.

 

What a great way to spend some time!

 

Great idea. Very cool.

 

That's awesome guys!!!

 

TIREZAN you are my new HERO...Excellent job you and your buds did.Hats off to you and your crew!

 

Very cool. We did this years ago up in Minneapolis when my wife was activities director for a nursing home. It was a really cool night! I think the SD Vagabonds may have to hit the Veterans home when I get teh Tudor running.

 

Damn, I am so happy that so many people liked this idea !!!!!!!!! I hope some of you will reach out and touch someone elses life and create a moment of happiness. You will be repaid ten fold.

 

working your way to heaven . Good job. Made you feel good & only if we knew what it did for the old folks.
5-star.

 

Kudos to you Man.

They do something similar at a Veterans Home a few miles West of me. Been doing it for years. You're right, we're all gettin there, ....... if we're lucky. I hope someone remembers US when that day comes.

Thumbs up to you and your buddies.

 

Nice work you guys.
The Pair A Dice cruisers put on a car show and bar B que at a local nursing home every year.
We take pictures of the people by their favorite car with a Polaroid camera and give to the people. The stories of their youth in cars like ours is worth the show alone.

 

That is so cool,dont have a club at this time but I would support an event like this in the middle Ga. area anytime. Great job guys!!

 

Nice responses guys. I originally had in mind with this thread was to plant a seed. I think it will be growing in more places than I imagined.

 

Way to go very rewarding for everyone involved

some of the guys around here drop of old hot rod magazines at nursing homes for the residents

 

Very cool for you guys.....remember they drove them new.

 

WOW, thats a really cool idea, I will p*** that one around.

 

Hopefully the young punks will be doing that for use someday.

 

Years ago in Denver our clubs got together and did a poker run to a bunch of nursing homes.We had it set up so they had to stop there cars ,get out to get a card so the old people could get a close up of all the cool old cars.It was cool to see the faces glow with a smile as memories were coming back from happier days of there lives. I had one JUST like that only a different color! - was the first thing they said. We heard the coolest stories from them.
