I'll have owned my Marauder 13 years this Friday 11-25-16!!:D
This happens to be the longest I've ever owned a car and perhaps it actually owns me???:eek:
No matter......IT'S BEEN A GREAT RIDE SO FAR!!:burnout::beer:
Congrats! I own FIT procharger #5. I hope you enjoy it for many more.

Owning a car that long, it actually is part of the family
This coming April my Dad will have owned his HIGH SCHOOL car 47 years
He bought it in 1970, i was probably conceived in it LOL
Neil ( 8uwith6 ) on this site, his dad bought a GT6 + triumph in 1972 and still has it
Strange is our fathers still own these cars this long:
Both cars bought at Chevy dealers
Both cars are red
Both cars are manuals
Both cars used as DD in college
Both our dads married RED HEADS lmao
Fun cars, fun stories:)

Some cars are keepers.
I bought my 1970 Boss 302 in April of 1970. I still have it.
I bought my '69 Shelby GT-500 in 1972 at the beginning of the gas shortage, and I still have it.
I bought the '89 GT in October of 89, and I still have it.
I bought the '04 MM in April of 2004, and I still have it.
There are members of my Mustang club who are the original owners of their 1964 1/2 Mustangs. And they still have them!

One last acquisition:
My wife married me in 1969, and she still has me!

Great cars are just like great dogs... they need to run to keep fit. Use your car...don't abuse the car, but definitely use it. Perhaps a cruise night...or a parade...or a family outing....whatever.
Locking your prize away is like placing the Mona Lisa in a vault.
If your can't share your baby with the world, then why have it?
