It sounds as if you had it running pretty strong. Hard to believe, but a 2001 P/T Cruiser would be eligible for "antique" license plates in Virginia next year. Those seem to be rare - but you see one every now and then going down the road. 25 years is the threshold for getting antique license plates.

I own a 2004 F-150 that will be able to be registered as an antique vehicle come 2029 - if I still have it. That means that you only pay the tag fee once - and you never have to renew it, get the vehicle inspected or pay the annual personal property tax (one of the bugaboos of living in Virginia). The stipulation is that you cannot drive it to school or work and it's supposed to be for shows, cruising or whatever. Since I am retired and not a student, I would be good to go in that regard.

This thread main topic you created

I am servicing this week several things on my Mazda. Although it is a 2018Mazda 3 2.5 Automatic there are still several close related service item that can be duplicated by a DIY. My thread I do as much as posible in my own garage so that other DIY can see no excuses for not doing some of there own work. lol. The thread is not for technical purposes and as a basic rule I will seldom or rarely answer anything techncial related. On that thread I am trying to be another average DIY. Most of what I will be posting are pictures and not to much commentary. I find that even on forum picture are often better than explanations and long wording stories, and we all know I can post 100+ plus word responses. lol

 

Your photos have always been very, very good!
