Retire 2012 and now consulting.

Enjoying the work and the money, but it does take away from time with Lucille (75 convertible)

Retired in 2004 at age 64. Check the Forum several times a day. Still manage to wrench a few things on the Vette but I have to admit not as much as when I was younger! But, all the suspension and engine modifications on my '74 were done by me.

I'm spending 6 months at home writing a book. I'm keeping a rigorous schedule with it, but that doesn't mean I can't check this place out every few hours...

I've been retired for 7 years. I never went on the forum from work ... it's too addictive and I would have been fired.

I own my own Auto repair shop. Not only can I check in whenever I want but, I can work on the 73 whenever I want. Best of both worlds.

I was in the same situation before I retired. You couldn't ask for anything better except for being fully retired. I now go down to the shop everyday and just work on my corvette.

I'm retired but went back to work...sort of...I check in on the C3 and C5 Z06 forums almost daily, especially when I need an escape...like when someone's filibustering! I use my smart phone for the mobile side of the forum, works great and seems I'm always on the dang thing!
