Joe is 29 and Phil is 68. Interesting how Guttag is so well known he doesn't even need a first name.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-19-2004 10:38 PM                     Age 20 Cars in order: First car @ 17 1991 Mercury Tracer LTS-Actually a very nice car...I beat the out of it though. Bought for $2000, Sold for $300 1983 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4X4- Still own, have had for 2 1/2 years. This truck never quits. My parents owned it for 6 years before me and never put a clutch in it (yes, manual tranny) I had it for a year and a half and finally had to put a clutch in it in early 2002. I have replaced the radiator, starter, power steering pump, alternator, water pump, steering column, clutch pedal, and soon to be an air pump. I hope she never dies. Approx 300,000 on the second 2.8 V6 engine.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-19-2004 10:48 PM                     Yeah, I didnt include anyone with a fake or missing age.
