Speaking of older cars..

SWMBO's 1995 Civic still drives like a new car -- tight, quiet, and rust-free.

My '98 Scooby Forester is also running well. This fall I decided to try and keep it on the road for another five, no mean feat here in the land of calcium chloride abundus.

So, new struts, new windscreen, elimination of the only rust spot (next-to/under the old windscreen), lots of touch-up paint on chips, new tyres, new belts, and another anti-rust treatment.

I did nearly all of the work myself.

Time will tell if it was worth it or not. Go Scooby-Doo!
