End of the Road?

Hey guys,

I have a macabre question. I'm both Hindu and a car enthusiast. Hindus customarily get cremated when we die. I'm putting together my will and would like to require my ashes to be deposited into the gas tank of my favorite car. Then, I want the car driven down my favorite river road in California. This is how I want my ashes poetically spread. My question is: Will this also poetically destroy the car? If so, I need to make sure the car is then driven directly to a Pick-N-Pull.

Thanks guys,

Sanjay Shah
