Having been to Puget Sound area many times, the fact that it wasn't raining was a blessing. No prob, just a few puddles.

Yes we have been having really nice weather the past week, part of the reason I decided to wash my Legend and take pics. It has been the warmest winter we have had in years. But I liked that.

Great pics, I have a friend in Bellingham that I visit every couple of years in summers and I always enjoy the scenery. Do you use this car as daily driver or is it more the weekend toy now?

Wow Bellingham is quite a drive from where I live. I live near Seattle. I go to the sound often because it is so close! Yeah it is my daily driver for now. In a few more years I will buy another car and put this one away in the garage for a weekend car.

Well thanks. I did a lot of work to the interior. I just put that wood trim in.

Yeah for sure they did. They brought it in for every service at the dealer since new and kept it garaged for the majority of its life.

Wow the '89 LS was a nice car! With the Bose sound system and auto climate control, and info center. Mine has all of that except the bose sound system. It is my first car too.

Thank you. I am happy to have this car. Yeah and they are so reliable too. It has almost 170K and has no problems. Well the cassette player doesn't work and back left window doesn't do down. Not bad for 22 years!

Yes thanks to me restoring it too. I did mostly cosmetic work to it. Mechanically I didn't do too much.

Thank you, unfortunately for WA it is 30 years I think. But CA it is 25. But I am going to go to CA for college. So I might register it as a classic there.
