    I've had my 40 for 25 years this weekend .
    I was 12 when I got it (I'm 37 now). It's been on the road for 16 years this weekend.
    Wow, looking at those numbers seems strange. I don't know which amazes me more...that I've had that car 25 years, or that I'm already 37!
    P.S. It's never wore a hood in those 16 years!
