EH> I know several people who still drive cars from that era. Some of them

My car has 180K miles on it.  If I am careful about scheduled maintenance,
and I am, I should get a half million miles out the engine.

This summer, I will drop a bucket of money getting hail damage fixed from
two years ago.  To lessen the bill, I have bought a hood and trunk deck from
a parts car (damn the luck, the parts car was a different color).
