Well this week is our decade anniversary with the car. Very hard to believe. Our then 4 year old was with me driving off the lot, our other was in a carrying car seat (with mom, so we were all there). Yes I drove it home with the covering on the steering wheel. The selling dealer's software could not handle the 6th digit, they wrote it in by hand.... Sold at sticker (plus clear film, a wax, GPS tracker, and doc fees, none of which I wanted, but were done already). Wish I bought a few more at sticker... A few pics from then, and now, parked in about the same spot. (orig wheels are off car in storage).

My first track experience was in the right seat of your car. You took Donna and I both at NOLA and it was quite an experience.

How much do you want for those useless old tires and wheels??

The GT guys are overpriced and I need a set. ;-))

That is WAAAAAY better news than us just owning a car for a decade. Hope there are many more decades to come with the same status!!

Guess it would make you sad that I have 3 sets....

Nice try, black works.

Great stuff, fun to do it!

3 sets??? That is unconscionable!

You should really give serious consideration to unloading those wheels, they only have a six year shelf life according to the government. They are quickly approaching scrap value.
