Birthday today
« on: February 26, 2009, 09:07:20 AM »
Something in the garage is celebrating it's first birthday today!

Born in Bowling Green, Kentucky and delivered to the dealership I work for on February 26, 2008!



The first 3230 miles have been a lot of fun!!!

Congrats on celebrating the little one b-day.  :clap:   I guess mine is getting old because this summer I will be changing my registration on my 83 Chevy to a classic. Much cheaper on insurance and no more state inspection.

Anything 20 twenty years old qualifies as a classic here. You get "Antique" plates too!

We've had the car up to 158-160 mph with one gear to go. It really hugs the road at high speed. It's incredible. I baby this car 95% of the time. I don't abuse it, and have never had it in the red. Supposedly, top speed is 190 mph.

I've averaged 270 miles per month on it, or about 5 miles per day. I wash it after driving it, and it's never seen rain. I've not used the windshield wipers on it!

2008.

The first "new" car I've ever purchased.

I ordered it in November 2007, it showed up here at work a year ago today.
