I'm pretty young, i'm only 22. I find it hard for people to take me seriously at such a young age because not alot of people my age build cars and engines and stuff. So instead I hide behind the internet :lol: I guess this is why most of the guys I hang out with are twice my age. They way some of these 40+ year old guys act though, you wouldn't think there a day over 18. Always talkin about cars and girls...you know, one of the guys.

Heh... I was doin' it when I was 16. I guess coming from a farming community where I and other young guys had lots of time on their hands, it was pretty much... well what you did.

I built a '69 Camaro up (bought it when I was 16 for $800.) :chevy

I`m 40 but I feel like I`m 21 when I get into my `77.
Still like em loud with a nice lumpy cam. Maybe drive a little slower than I used
to, but enjoy standing on it on occassion.

54 years old but still haven't grown up, at least that's what my 24 year old son tells me.
Age is a state of mind, and now I can afford the toys and things that I like that I couldn't always afford when I was younger. Can't wait to finish my restoration project so I can go play.
