Smile Car's Birthday

Not that I am going to throw a party or anything, but come next month my TD will be 20 YEARS OLD. I don't know the exact build date, but it was in Feb. Just curious, how many other 20+ cars out there?

Mine was built on 09/18/1978, so that makes my car roughly 4 months younger than me

hhmm my car was born in June 1983. Maybe next year I could buy it a bottle of Dom Perignon :p ...

Imagine me drinking champagne next to my car in my parking garage...since the car can't really drink it... i'd have to drink it..

people would probably think I've lost my mind..

congrats rick, it sure doesn't look 20!
does NJ exempt cars over 20 yrs old from emissions/inspection and the like?

My car's 20th is coming up this year (it was made 11/83 - I believe only one week after the US introduction of the 190's). It is motor number 354 of the 2.2 liter variety.
