86SS, 90k miles, original, no accidents. It's always had vibration from 55 mph up since I've owned it 5 years now with the original Goodyears and now the road force balanced new Coopers. The vibration makes the dome lamp housing buzz.
Some observations and comments: rear u joint replaced 5 years...
Yes, we are just temporary caretakers of our possessions. We all have stories of cars we've built up, restored and just babied and then sell to someone with a totally different vision of it. Moral of the story - enjoy it while you own it.

I have a rebuilt, by the PO, 4L60 in my 06. I'm debating whether to do a shift kit of just a 1-2 Vette servo. I don't race but do haul sometimes. The trans was rebuilt about 20K miles before I bought the truck and I changed to synthetic GM trans fluid.
