Default Cha-ching......

Bought it in August, 2000 with 82,839 miles on it..... picture taken today (12-09-05) on the way home from work. Nice straight road with no traffic; no animals were harmed in the making of this picture.

Guess I shouldn't worry about turning my 86 over 81000 this past weekend, huh?

Thanks everyone, I bought this car to drive, I'm not saving it for the next guy. Drive it, enjoy the hell out of it.

The 55 is a direct result of an encounter with a CHP (she was a blond and cute..... and as she handed me the ticket, she says, "Sir, you have a beautiful car"). It was for 73 in a 55 and I deserved it.

We took our suburban to 280000 before selling it for 2k... Glad to see someone isn't afraid of putting some mileage on it. I drove the hell outta mine when it was my daily driver, especially when I was scouring all corners of California interviewing for jobs.
