Default Definitely not a garage queen!!!

well I made it to 100,000 miles Saturday....

I bought the car with 23,000 miles on the clock about 4 years ago. I had a lot of fun reaching the 100,000 mile mark. I went through a couple of windshields, couple of paint jobs, some vandalism and several sets of tires. It's been a real blast! THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT A GARAGE QUEEN! My car is a DD. I drive it in the rain, sleet, hail ,snow mud and fog Hopefully I'll get another couple hundred thousand miles out if it. Hope all of you are enjoying your cars as much as I have enjoyed mine. Oh yeah! If you see me don't forget to wave.


209TIME!!!

Awesome, I'm moving towards 67k on my 98. I spent the weekend in the Finger Lakes wine country and the Glen. Put on 600 miles the car now looks like it went through a war from dirt/gravel roads and rain on Sunday. It will clean up nicely though and I'll do it again in a heart beat.
