talking to her
I have had my car for over 40 years.Through thick and thin I still have her in my life.I sometimes go out in the grarge and just look at her,sometime I talk to her.It puts me at ease when I work on her and complete a project asking how she like it.Am I crazy or dose this happen to others? Just wondering Vince

I have had my vette for 33 years, while I dont talk to it, I talk to myself sometimes working on it. I often drive it when I have some emotional need to remind myself of something, or conjure up a certain feeling. Frequently I will visit old friends and bring her along, just for that back in the day feeling and bring out a few good old war stories. And it never ceases to attract new attention.

As long as there are no "LITTLE VETTES" running around, i think you will be okay...

Only when working on it, and it usually starts out "You mangy miserable POS......I'll be back as soon as I put a band-aid on this!!!"

My 61 which I have had for 43 years just turned 51 years old. Seems content now with the new DART engine and the T-45 5 speed, no demand for face-lift. We get along pretty well.
However, does not like C-3, C-5, to be parked in the garage and REALY hates the 95 C-4. Maybe because they are same color or something...expresses displeasure by intermittent leaking on the floor or squealing the throw-out bearing until warm if 95 in garage.
Does seem to tolerate the Avanti being in garage. They seem to have a common feeling of being older but stylish with lines that get better with age.
