well gang.. with tax season in full swing (and me waiting until the last possible second), I'm doin' tonight's post a little early! Peace out!

Okay... as I personally haven't owned a car newer than 1983, I have noticed a bit of diference between the older and newer stuff!

TOP TEN WAYS TO RECOGNIZE YOU OWN AN OLD CAR:

1. When you get into a newer car, you're first question is "What does that do?"

2. When someone hands you the "keys" for the car... it's a single key, and you still demand to know where the Trunk Key is.

3. You laugh at those pansies with V-6 or less of motor... at least until you hit the gas pump.

4. You've heard of ABS... but you've never experienced it

5. You'd "Low-Jack" your car with a GPS unit... but the unit would cost as much as the car (unless you restore/maintain classics).

6. You can take up three compact parking spaces...

7. The folks at the auto-parts store wince when you come through the door... but at least you don't have to tell them what kind of car you have 'cause they KNOW!

8. The Junk-Yard says their lot doesn't go back that far.

9. Whenever someone sees your car, they start talking about "The Good Old Days".

10. You get into an accident, and you can just scrape the other car off your bumper... 'cause your car is made of actual STEEL.

my car isnt old its just crap, its brand new 1987 toyota camry with only 236,000 miles

You pull into the gas station and tell them to fill the oil and check the gas.

You qualify for "classic car" insurance ... even though no-one in their right mind considers your car a classic.

The registration document says your car is red ... but it's actually a faded pink (or rust coloured).

Your car has a sticker from a car dealer that went bust 15 years ago, or you have a bumper sticker that says "Vote Reagan".

Your car has a 8-track fitted. And it was original equipment.

heh, heh... I'm headin' up on 300,000 on my Merc... When I rolled my Folk's Jeep, it had over 200,000 miles on it...

I guess a little maintenance goes a long way

I'm headin towards 150K on my 91' caravan. Ain't old, but it's been abused... hell, we did some pseudo-rallies with it on a couple campin trips.

230k on my 83 VW rabbit GTI....
200k on my 65 chevy impala ....
heehe,just gettin broke in

"When the best matching paint to your car is entilted "Rust"

"When your using a towel on the front bench seat cause the springs are pokeing de balls " (im hard on the seats )

Hehe just hit 350,000 on the old '83 Yota Pickup.

i have a two tone 85' cutlass.. two toned because the hood/top was rusting so i wanted to stop that, some garage door paint fixed that right up, stopped the rust in its tracks..

so, its dark green, with a light green hood/top/trunk.

2 chrome smoke stalks sticking out of the hood, and a big 2 foot blue spoiler on the back (i like to mod, and im an attention whore)

i should take pic's of it, so u guys can see..

old is "when your a truck bed has beer cans with pull off tabs in it"
