How Long Do You Keep A Partner?
I am going to keep my 1989 model for another few weeks maybe a few months if it doesn't give me any problems. I've been thinking of giving a Y2K model a try since they've just been released; but alway hesitant to try such early new releases. How long do ya'll keep ya'lls spouses and girlfriends/boyfriends and why?

You have one of the infamous "Big Lick" editions. Those run well if taken care. Should get at least another 15-20 years out if w/o major upgrades. Might have to start adding those blue additives at one point depending on type of fuel you use and if the bushings have been maintained.

I've got an 81 model. She's pretty low maintenance. I've upgraded her headlights. I've probably got another 7 years till I'll need to change then again. I first laid eyes on her in 98, but she was too expensive. I ran into her again at a used car lot in 04. I picked her up on the cheap. At the time she was a package deal with 2 smaller cars. I picked up another small car 2 years later.
Anyhow, in 2012 I had to let her go. Too many issues. 2014 came around and she was on the market again. I swooped her up and have been in love ever since. |

Detailed pics of said upgrades? I've test driven models with such upgrades but never ponied up for them myself. That being said, a big fan and love seeing other's investment just in case I need to make it one day.
Did you get a frequent flyer discount and better terms on the latest purchase? Also, clear title? |

I ride a 1966 model brunette than was painted blonde ever since I knew her 35yrs now. She looks better than a bunch of early 40's models and still weighs a 115lbs. Very happy with her couldn't see me trading her in on anything. I remember some really good advice I got once.

I've got an 84 model... We've upgraded the headlights. she needs a little suspension work as the right strut gave out recently. I got the title back in 2008 and thankfully not much changed in her oil change intervals. We also picked up 3 mini's along the way

Do you think our wives would be if they knew we were referring to them as a set of wheels?

I got rid of my '63 model last year. After 26 years it just wasn't as comfortable as I'd like, especially since I could only drive it on rare occasions.
I'm leasing a replacement and even though it's a similar year model the ride is smooth and the driving excitement is much higher. Cushy seats, great headlights and quite the rear bumper too! I really like that she seems to prefer a firm grip on the steering wheel and a little choke really gets her motor running! |
