The status of our 2004 Thunderbird has changed. We bought the car new in July of 2004 and it was Jeanette's daily driver since then. Drove it to the high school where we teach every day. Enjoyed it most on days when it was cold in the morning but she could put the top down in the afternoon.
Back in March, we went to the Richmond Auto Show with the Classic Thunderbird Club we belong to. Walked in just with the idea of seeing what was new. By the time we had been there 90 minutes, Jeanette said she would like to stop by the dealer on the way home. She took a test drive in two different models and by the time we got home, told me she would like a new car. Monday I looked and found 12 versions within a hour and a half drive of our home and by 4 that afternoon, the bidding war was over and a dealer in Charlottesville had made the best deal. Drove over on Wednesday and picked it up. Now her daily driver is a Subaru Forrester and the Thunderbird is well cared for and pampered on the right side of the garage. Not that the Thunderbird sits most of the time, just that it doesn't have to go to school every day.
She wanted a four door car so that we help transport her parents when needed, and something the puppies could see out the windows. The F150 and the Jeep just didn't cut it.
So how many other people are like us in that the Thunderbird started off as the daily driver and over time has moved over to the "fun" or "special time" car? Would like to know about the number.
