celebrated by going through one of the few car washes I trust around here. hate not doing it myself, but I know I have to to keep all the salt off (and it just doesn't feel right driving her when she's dirty)

IMO black is best looking color when clean, but hardest to keep clean. (although I know palsut for sure will disagree on the best color)

This box of car parts in my room is killing me, can't wait till weather warms up and basketball season is over so I can put all the stuff on

Black and white are the best colors for these cars.

Congrats on the milestone. Now you get to deal with all the fun problems you will encounter.

Thanks guys, I know 70K is not a lot but I plan on having this for a long time. I know there will be problems, I hope to keep them to a minimum. When I bought the car it had just had the tranny replaced with a gm rebuilt, and one of the heads was replaced. I've heard of lot of guys say the engines last forever but the tranny's don't last nearly as long, so I'm happy it's basically brand new.
Most of what's gone wrong so far has been electrical and a couple of busted tie rods, nothing with the drivetrain so far (knock on wood)

lol well I like black color but like you say cleaning is pain the butt. So that's why I like silver because I don't see any dirt on it.

70K is not that bad. My winter car just turn to 61K today.

I heard you. I have many car parts in my apt. I'm looking forward for spring to get everything on my summer car.

I disagree wink

Medium Gulf Blue and the deep red maroon color I can't remember the actual name are the best colors.
