He /W//7WS said that he wanted me to wait a month or so until the 2000's came in. It sounded so strange to hear him refer to a vehicle as a 2000. We always refer to them by the last two digits, such as '98's or '99's. I sup pose next year, we'll refer to them as '01's. Won't it sound strange when some one asks what year your car is and you say "1"? But 2000's will probably always be labeled by all four digits, because "00" would sound really strange.
