Age is a place in time. Youth is a state of mind.

You're only young once but can be immature your entire life.

I'm working on proving the latter. BTW I'm still 17.

Yes, to us old farts Did not get a chance to try scanning pictures, but I did not forget. Maybe I should write a note. My first car was a 64 GTO and I sold it to buy the 60 vette to restore. Went from a 64 GTO to a 61 Rambler for my daily driver.
