My Model T Roadster was built on 12/16/1913. It is an original car and I am the 4 Th. owner having it's history back to the original owner. So it will be 100 Years Old then but I was thinking...... There are 25 leap years in a hundred years. Would I deduct those 25 days making it 100 years old on 11/22/2013? The engine casting date happens to be 11/22/13 also.
Since I had to retire early due to a stroke you can probably tell I have way too much time on my hands!
Was your Mother frightened by a Gypsy reading Tarrot Cards while she was pregnant with you?
Sorry. A year is a year. All years are the same length 365 1/4 days. Give or take a few seconds due to changes in the earth's rotation and orbit. The day added each four years is a catchup attempt to bring things back in sync.
Mark, in Eastern Orthodox countries where they still use the Julian calendar, your car will be 100 years old on January 10, 2014. On that day you'll be able to stand it on end if you're south of the equator.
Thanks Steve
How do I drive it over the Panama Canal without sinking?
Mark, Carefully!
Mark,
Over the Puente de las Americas (Bridge of the Americas)!

There are bridges over the canal. It is the Darien Gap you cannot get past, no roads from Panama to Columbia. Despite those who have said they drove the length of North and South America, past this section you have to take the ferry.
