Can't believe I forgot about this... Happy birthday... October 20, 2007, 03:25:03 PM ...To my car :D I was in the garage taping it up, getting ready for paint (the air is still too ed wet to paint - you actually get your hand wet touching the car because it's "sweating", but it's supposed to improve for Tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday) and I noticed the 10/87 build date. My baby is all grown up, 20 years old and getting a makeover for its birthday...I also noticed, when taping up the passenger side, that the tire placard is in french. Not bi-lingual as we Canadians are used to seeing, but 100% french. It shows tire pressures for "XR7", "Coupe Turbo" and "Tout" Quote Selected

With a daily driver (first the Volvo, then the Lincoln, now the Saturn) I don't have any need to rack the miles up. The safety sticker expired last October - it has 105k km on it, so that's as of Oct '05. Now it's got 106k km. Granted the car hasn't been driven at all in the last year... Quote Selected

I originally thought it was 25 classic, 50 Antique, but someone corrected me recently and I never thought to look it up. Another decade, eh? That's a hell of a commitment. I've only been with my wife for seven, and trade-ins already look hard to resist. (j/k) Quote Selected
