Why By The Numbers?
At the time I started this blog, I owned three cars, none of which had names, manufacturers, yes, BMW, Ford, Volvo. But no names, just numbers, 325, 150, 850. Hence, By The Numbers.

My wife had her grandmothers 64 Comet 404 as her first car!
It was cool and I was sorry to see it go.
Bravo for finding this....
Somewhat sounds like Mom wanting to drive to Florida by herself....
What a woman.....
gotta love her spunk.....
I empathize. 135,000 on the Stinger Missile and even though I threaten to sell it time and time again, I'll probably keep it equally as long.
Love the piece she brandished.
Love this story and her spirit.
