GG is five years old tomorrow

GG.....(the Gray Ghost) is five years old tomorrow!
Picked her up brand new with 5 miles on it on 12/20/2005.


Current mileage = 30,080
Issues = Sun visor, coolant bottle, alternator(about a month ago).
Pre-mix - Idemitsu ~5oz per tank since about 23k.
Daily driver and redline 2nd and 3rd at least twice a day
Oil and filter change every 3k with usually 5w30, sometimes 10w40 in Summer months.

She still looks better than ever!






We shall have cake!

I clearly work too many hours!

At least it's not too far away...............but I guess that can actually be a bad thing in some respects.

wow, I put on 19500 miles on my car in the past year. Your car will last forever, or just fail one day.
I want a cake like that.

Congrats and happy b-day to GG!I'm sure there are many years of happy motoring ahead.

I'm getting closer to one year with my baby...got her with 19000 and now she is at 35000 and will most likely hit the big 40 before the one year mark...she has run flawless so far
