Today is her 49th birthday. Owned it for 45 years....looks like I'll be keeping her until she turns 50.
Maybe by then the economy will come back and I'll be able to sell both of the cars I don't drive.

Hi 71 and happy birthday to that beautiful BHG convertible. It’s very apparent from the photos that she’s lucky to have you as her caretaker.
