Give or take a few days, since the build date sticker on the car only lists the month.

Happy birthday to my car! May go out and light up its candles later in the day.

I thought you were about to say, "Sgt Peppers taught the band to play."

Happy B-day!

I hear that 20 is the new 10.

Get a cake, light some candles... get someone to rev up the RMB and blow 'em out. Make sure to make a wish.

Uh-oh.. this thread's reminded me. My car turned 20 on 11th Oct and I forgot (I have the date it left the factory from Porsche AG - needed it to import the car)

To be fair to me, my younger daughter was 2 days old that day, so I was fairly busy

You picked a nice day to come home, Bob. When's the 2-post asymmetric lift install party? I will have to put 1/10/10 on my calendar, the GT will be 20 then, and eligible for Hagerty classic insurance.

There was some change left after the kitchen granite project, so funding is already in place. The installed lift costs less than the sinks and associated hardware. Whooda thunk?? Lift party will most likely occur in late January, but might happen sooner. We have a Honda Odyssey, compliments of American Honda and the Tournament of Roses, until mid-January, so there are three cars plus the shop stuff and the normal junk all crammed into the garage right now. The 928 got an oil change today just a few months overdue, and sits on stands waiting for a coolant and brake fluid swap tomorrow.

Another charity/holiday event tonight. Fun tomorrow with the car. Another event tomorrow night, a party on Saturday. We haven't done any holiday decorating at all, and may not this year beyond a few interior items. Presents go in the coal bin again this year I guess. I keep getting mine mixed up with the coal.
