Nice preservation, not a restoration. Cool.

Awesome story!

Lifetime warranties FTW!! 3 set's of shocks, 7 midas mufflers, and >10 interstate batteries!! And she has all the receipts.

I say YES she's a car enthusiast.

i am actually pretty confused on the lifetime warranty. i would think stuff like shocks are tear and wear items
