Your car looks great! Keep it! I amaze people when I say my car is a 98 and they say it looks better than their new car lol.

Was this always your DD? For 85K miles, you must have extremely short commute.

I'm in it for the long run with my own. As I get close to 90K, I'm going to focus much more on maintenance and on what keeps the car going. As you or somebody mentioned here earlier, the 2GS still has a style which allows it to flow with all the newer cars out now today. I have no plans on letting my car go but instead I'll just keep it and get something else.

Thanks. Exhaust is an earlier version of the RMM. The more recent one changed the tips.

Well, mileage-wise, I "cheated" a little. For about 5 years, it sat in a shop for some work. Things did not work out and it is now back to stock. I got it back last year. (Long story. I've moved on from it.) At about the 4 year mark of that wait, I did get something else.

Project is in the past. It's kind of a sore spot so I'd rather not rehash it.

Definitely Love it. Simple, Clean now that's what I consider a timeless gem. Thank you for being proof of what things can be. Not my direction of choice but it's a great milestone for anyone including myself. Showing simplicity, style for the clean look can be a forever classic, just the same as mild, wild, or exotic.

Thank You for sharing that beauty!
