LTD, I'm 46 & retired from the Army 5yrs ago. Believe me it's not a bed of roses. Sooo much time & not enough money to do all the things I want. Another drawback is you can only get into so much trouble by yourself. On the flip side though you can do whatever, whenever ya want. Who said ya can't have it all? If I had more money I would have it made.

59 here & the 70 always seems to have something wrong even though it was a body off resto by the previous owner. We've had it 10 years. Time flys.

I'd say chances of that are pretty slim....never was too good at ciphering !

But....it was an interesting thread to see how we justify that most of us are over 40.

34 now, got my 77 when I was 31....always wanted a Corvette and finally broke down and bought one. In the process of fixing it up but it'll be as good as new when I'm done which may take me years but hey it's a passion.
