Birthday Coming Up
July 23 - my '98 will be 21 years old. Picked it up in August '97 from Criswell Chevrolet. Maybe the first '98 they had in. Fully loaded for that year, including that critical "option" - a 6 speed.
Spent it's first 5 years as my commuter car. Well, if you have to commute, enjoy it, say I. Then my DD for most of it's life. Lately though, I tend to sneak out the Genesis for anything other than local travel - comfortable, excellent seats for long haul driving, Lexus quiet, but more than capable on twisty roads. Plus it's AWD, so copes well with our winters. At about 15 months, zero problems - hope that continues! Only "mod" has been to replace the donut with a full size spare. Did that before we headed to Canada this last spring.

Congrats on having your car for 21 years - a rather rare occurrence these days.
