Late December of 1998. Bought her with 27k miles on the clock, she was being stored in a heated/carpetted garage next to a 1984 911. At the last minute the guy tried to sell me the 911 for the same price ($18k)

Everybody who says this car isn't an exotic or high-end car should remember scenes like this... it USED to be considered so, until the FnF crowd got ahold of them. Such a shame. I used to see FDs in the back of Autoweek all the time right next to 911's, lotus, etc. at the high-end dealers that advertise there.
You've definately maintained it, Rich. I wish there weren't so many broke-down roach examples running around.

Aug 2002 - third owner, bought with a low compression reman. Have since self rebuilt the motor, it was down 1 1/2 yrs. Enjoyed during nice weather only! Garage stored and getting the choice car life! Mileage when purchased was 73,030 and it now has over 79,000. If life treats me well I plan on keeping this car for a long long time.

Call me gramps!
I have had it since August of 2003. Due to the distance, it was my primary means of transportation. Now that I have reloacted back to my home, it's my secondary vehicle.

Apr 01 after 1.5 years of looking and countless hours of reading everything I could get my hands on...somehow I didn't stumble across the forum until I owned it for about a year. Thank goodness for lightning in a world of thunder and Rob R, also brook's website was quite helpful, but I don't know how I survived without the forum!

I've been owning mine for almost 3 years now and has been my daily driver since the beggining (although I did have a second car...just in case lol). I bought mine in March 2004 after searching for one for about 6-8months. The car really has never let me down except for the random mishaps thats part of the ownership. It has a decent amount of mods and continously grows but still puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it. I wouldn't trade it for the world.....except maybe for a BB one lol.
