The life of a 16k mile survivor...

...it thought it had escaped this kind of use! Driving home from work in a downpour (26 mile one-way commute):


Safe at home...


And then washed/waxed for the weekend...

I guess if you ever sell it, you can't say it's never seen rain.

Looks like you got a few outages in your gauge cluster lights, especially on the tach.

Hmm, think it's just the angle of the photo and lighting with an iphone 3, but I'll check tonight. Got a pic of what right looks like? Thanks...

Those 91-92 dashes always looked like that I thought? Mine pretty much looks like that. Kinda dim in the top of the tach and speedo gauges.
