Slither's 200k mile Photoshoot
Snapped a few pics today in celebration of 200,000 miles on the ol' girl.
1999 GT, built in 98'
Purchased on Halloween in 2003
Mileage when purchased: 54,265
Purchase price: $14,888.00
It has been a good car. It started out as a stock GT the day I picked it up. It still has the original motor, tranny, rear end, etc. Never been rebuilt. Everything that has ever been replaced is from wear and tear. Power steering pump, rack and pinion, fuel rails (after a near fire last year due to a busted fuel line), and other odds and ends such as ball joints, tie rods, shocks, etc.
Just a few new pics on this special day. They are a little grainy..had the camera on the wrong setting..DOH!
The church me and Mandy got married in

Had to have it striped down and repainted back in 2008 to fix all the damage that was done by the previous shop which at that point had gone out of business.

Thanks and yeah...not a whole lot of places to shoot around this town. I feel the same way so that is why I snapped a few outside while I was downtown. Silver is not a very friendly color to take pictures of in the sun so a parking garage is always my friend because it really brings out the metallic in the paint and shows the edginess of the body.

Twice. Once back in 2006 when I got the hood, front bumper, etc but the paint shop screwed me and cut corners with the clear coat and it started fading on the top of the fenders and flaking off on the roof.

It looks rather pristine now!
