Two trannies from the maintenance records, which go back all 25 years.

Still weird seeing a record with 700miles on it.

Looking for the camera charger now....

Nope. I just bought it a month ago, and I teach during the week. Dealer's shop isn't open on weekends, only the salesroom, so when I finish for the summer I will head in with the papers.

Well, she turned 400,000 today, got pics to prove it, but can't get them off the camera right now. I took one of 399,999 and one of 400,000. Tried to get one of 399,999 and a 1/2 as she turned, but I learned today that you can't stop from 50MPH in time once you see it start to turn.
