Default Turned 90 the other day



When we picked her up she had a sticker on the window and 6.9 miles on the clock. Now 90K! Other than scheduled MX, the only work I have had to do is a BCM (under warranty year one-turned out to be a bad ground in the accordian) Both fuel senders (also under warranty), and then both fuel senders again last year (on my $$$). Not too bad, and oh yeah - Chicken Foot!!

Cool, I had never seen the 50th anniversary cluster. They age beautifully.

Remember the day when out Dad's would flip their cars before the mileage got that high. Glad things have changed and Congrats to you!

Hey, I put 2200 miles - Raleigh to Clearwater to Ft Myers to Daytona to Myrtle Beach to Raleigh in eight days! Of course, it's my daily driver, so no biggie.

Getting her ready for another 100K but a tad stronger,,,,,,I hope.

Always good to see when people drive there cars instead of keeping them covered up all the time. I buy toy's to play with them. Not keep them in the box and just look at how cool and fun they could be.
