Default Rolled it today!!!!!!

To 40,000 miles that is. Heat index of 105 degrees here. Turned on the AC, put the top down and took her for a drive on some twisty back roads. Good thing that I had the camera with me.

Don't make titles like that! I almost want my click back.

I just hit 50k in your old car, but I didn't have a camera card, so I used a old timey film camera. Once developed I'll post.
