    So clean - nice car.

    Welcome.

    Thanks.  I found a mostly rust free car that car that has either never been driven in winter or only a couple winters back when it was new so it is pretty clean.  I say mostly rust free because there is some surface rust on some of the components underneath.  But otherwise really clean, like even the relays under the hood aren't corroded.  It has about 60k miles on it (documented).  Unfortunately, it will need to have one rear quarter repainted due to a poor/aging re-spray of that area.

                    I see you have a couple Triumph bikes (from BF.com). I own a 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 myself. :)

                      Cool!  I have a '97 Speed Triple and a '00 Daytona that I use as a track bike (I know a 675 would be a waaay better choice).  Since I ride like an old lady, moving up to a 675 won't help me much.  I've owned the Speed Triple since '99, it has ~110,000 miles on it.  Attached are pics of this outdated machinery.

                        110,000 miles is some impressive seat time!!!

                          Very cool!! Still gotta be some fun riding on those bikes. & yes, 110,000 miles is amazing! My 675 has around 25,000 and I thought that was up there for a street bike. :P

                            Whoa, doing 25k on a 675 is the equivalent of 100k on a Speed 3!  Odo pic from when I rolled it over in 2012.

                                Well I was talking about the amount of total riding effort expended.  Those 675's are a torture rack compared to a speed 3.
