another old fart post

I found this on Jalopnik. While it's not a C3, it is in line with the "old farts" post, I think you will enjoy this old fart's video on how much he enjoys driving his vette. Fascinating the longevity of his car. I don't think we C3'rs could have the same experience.

Thanks for posting the link. I really enjoyed it and got a big laugh at his comment at the end about stamp collecting.

I hope I’m still rowing gears at 73. Good for him.

I'm sure that '57 still has plenty of get up and go. Old guy and old car, both showing their age, but still running through the woods.

Love it that he just likes to get out and drive it and doesn't give a crap what people think. The vise grips at the end of the vid kind of sum it up....just make it work and I'll fix it later
