seanyb505 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Boxkita made a comment about the SCCA Wagon's age in that thread and that got me thinking...my LGT turns 16 years old next month. Basic math says no, your 2005 turns 16 next year...unless it was built in 2004! My door sticker has a date of 06/04. I know there's a few others on here that have May and June 04 stickers. So post up! Although I'm not sure what's the most interesting thing to talk about for a 16 year old car. Victories? Then/now pics? Mod list? Need-to-Fix lists? Best memories? GPA? Beauty Shots? Pics of your car, no set up allowed? I'm sure we've all posted something along those lines over the years on here. It's been a good ride at any rate. I've had mine since December 2012, and after 7 years and 235k miles, I think I'm finally getting to the point of emotional attachment. I'll come up with some standard ownership refection survey. For now, a spring time wash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Build date May 28 2004. It was the 194th 5mt GT wagon built. 22 were made on that day. I took delivery late Jun 2004. While at the Dealership the other week for the air bag recall, there were a couple of the tech's checking the wagon out.
