My 85 has just 45,000 miles on her. That's only 1552 miles a year! At this rate it will take another 3.5 years to get to the 50,000 mile mark. Not too bad for a then 32 year old car at that point. Even with that low mileage, it's always been completely documented and extremely well taken care of maintenance wise. I'd be very confident driving it across the country any day of the week. Will I? H3LL NO. I won't be able to hold up as well as the car!

Its really easy Gil. You have to upload your pics to a photo hosting website like PhotoBucket which is easy too, just follow directions. This website will provide a web address to your pic. If you want to put a pic in a post, look up at the top of the message block and you will see a little mountain and sun icon and click on it. You copy that address from the photo hosting site and paste it into the provided pop up. Your golden.
And to the OP, get yer azz out there and enjoy that car!!!

Thank you. The pics are from a while back. It has an older paint job that is starting to have some issues. But I try my best to keep her in nice condition.
