    Got my Stallion 30 years ago today, went out in the garage and drank a beer sitting beside it. I always do that on its bday. Would be interesting to know how many original owners are on here. Seems at the Roundup we seem to have 4 or 5. Getting ready to take the drivetrain out and detail it all, been 13 years since any of that done. Plus working on the model A and fixing rust on my old pickum up truck is keepin me busy. And add to that building a rotiisserie is keeping me in garage and off the puter it seems. Life is wonderful in the garage.:drink: I am now 48 years old,, wonder if I can be lucky enough to own the car another 30 years?:confused:

    Here's to Dan And his Stallion,:beerchug: :clap: :clap: :clap:. May you both have another 30 years together. Do you realize that you have been with your Stallion longer than most folks remain married? That's what I call devotion.:)

    That is a very cool milestone - 30 years. I will help you celebrate :clap: :drink:


    I wish I had some of my cars and trucks from my "younger days". Sadly they are all junk by now. Only pictures and memories I'm afraid.

    Enjoy that next 30 years as much as the first 30 years! :drink:

    Congrats on that! I think I've had my 72 Comet almost 5 years now. I hope someday I can say I've had mine 30 years.

    Well, I'm halfway there with mine, had it 15 years now. Not sure the date exactly but pretty close to about now. What the heck, I'll call it today and celebrate with you! :drink: Wow, hard to believe it's been that long. Aw, dangit, I'm starting to tear up thinking about it... :cry: Anyway, congrats Dan on the anniversary! "Happy Anniversary; Happy Anniversary; Happy Anniversary; Haaaaaappy Anniversary!" :biglaugh:
