48 feel 28 and working on my 76. Life is good.

Here is a favorite quote:

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud
of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --
WOW--What a Ride!" -- Hunter S. Thompson (1938-2005)

Default Age?

I retired at age 63 in '06 have now turned 64 and I watch the cartoons too; much to the dis-pleasure of the "old woman" but she still likes the ride with the T-tops off and the '50's station on the XM radio!!!

42 here Fred. But after being on this forum for a while I'm convinced that most of us are never going to grow up. Grow older, no choice there, more responsible, well there again. Growing up just doesn't seem like much fun. I think I'll go have a beer now!

It's nice to see some 20ish people with a vette instead of a 700 hp VTEC honda civic (With 20x6 rims).

Howdy Jim.......Good to "see ya around".......You are right, most of us just won't grow up. I think my body is breaking down from spending my last 25 years at +30,000 ft and running mach I. Might as well go out in a "Blaze of Glory".

I'm older than my teeth, and too sexy for my hair! (what there is of it).

I feel 40ish...I think I remember 40ish...

What was the question? Oh thats right I'm 58! The cars only 32, I love younger women.

I agree! I was 21 when I got my 68 and now I am 26. I might be 40 before I ever drive it if it keeps dragging on like this! LOL
