Have You Driven a Hearse Lately?

Or

Built for the Road of Dead

(Both from the mind of Monty)
Josephine Clay Ford, a leading philanthropist who was the only granddaughter of automotive pioneer Henry Ford, has died at the age of 81. While her brothers and nephews have been involved in building the family fortune, she was responsible for giving it away, to charities including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Josephine Ford Cancer Center and the College for Creative Studies. Keeping in the Ford family tradition, she was more successful outside the home than in, as her younger son, Alfred Brush Ford, has shunned the family business and joined the Hare Krishna religious sect, renaming himself Ambarish Das.
