10 years and going strong was created by the flying scotsman
I was going to title the thread '10 years and loving every minute' but that would not be quite accurate.
It truly is a love/hate relationship.
When shes running right and everything is functional there's nothing like it. When I park it and walk away then see strangers stare at it I'm so proud and they've no idea its 23 years old. When I wash it at the local car wash which is in a very small town and the local teens tell me they really like my car, I smile.
Then on hotest day of the year after being parked in the sun all day the a/c decides not to work. Then you take a co-worker out for lunch and returning to the car you open the passenger door for her, she gets in, I walk around to the drivers door and the handle breaks in my hand. Then, you venture out after a long hibernation of frigid Canadian winter, fill it with fresh gas, check the tyre pressures, oil levels etc then go for a little run only for it to quit on you miles away from home and of course in a valley between mountains with no cell service.
It truly is a love/hate relationship.........looking extremely forward to the next 10 years

You know I have been in the Shark Tank for over 14 years now and I have to say, I have really, REALLY enjoyed it! I have been fortunate to have company cars all along the way but man when I would jump in the S4 or GTS after having been away for a week or two, it was like heaven!
I SOOOO LOVE THESE CARS! All of mine have different personalities too and getting to know them has been a joy! I can't wait to get EURO85 home next week with all the little things done to it and get to know that one!
It will be nice to get a new tranny in the S4 too so I can rekindle that relationship! I LOVE that car! You know there is something to be said for your FIRST...you never forget them!
The '88 S4 sounds SO SWEET and while it does not pull like the GTS's it really is STRONG!
LOVE 928's!
