I haven't in the past, but now that I know it's a thing I'm going to start doing it. Please tell your car that I said "Welcome to the Centrum Silver generation." Also, 50 is the human age when you meet the definition of "community dwelling elderly," assuming you are still living in the community..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Nope. But in CO at 50 we can apply for Horseless Carriage plates. They are very reasonably priced and last 5 years.

i'm getting ready. book em danno is coming up on jan 25.
bought it when it was a 15 year old.
outlasted the first wife.
have avoided a second one.
probably why i still have the car (by the skin of my teeth 20 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

its travelled across the atlantic to its original owner.
and then it traversed the pacific ocean with me.
its got no desire to sail the indian ocean though it has gazed out from its shores.

yea, hope so, will see how it plays out . certainly not something i ever expected to be saying or doing, not in a million years… just stuff in the end, but 75% of the value here is in my blood sweat and tears -sweat equity so to speak, if that were not the case i would be as attached to it. time will tell…

ah sh#t.
been there done that.

i still remember the X trying to say the 14 was worth 40K (aud).
this was back in 03.
i got a valuer in who put 4-5K on it.
which was actually probably about right back then. sort of.
he ticked the box (poor to fair condition).
he'd been through a D too.

fingers crossed for you dr p. hope you can hang on to it.
