Default Anyone keep the original oil filter?

I am doing the first oil change on my 05. Since I never had a brand spanking new Vette before, I am draining as much oil from the old filter as I can and saving it - a momento more than anything.

....Let the flames begin!

I like it. Could add to the resale value.
I have all of the original plastic from the inside of my C6. The museum gave it to me and I brought it home and stored it in the attic. My wife think's I am crazy. Maybe she's right.

I pitched mine. I have to admit that I was a bit puzzled with the whole wad when they showed it to me. Kind of like afterbirth but worth even less.

Just think, in the 2043 Barrett Jackson Auction they could be selling the car with the ORIGINAL OIL FILTER!!!!

Could add 10k to the auction price.
