Age is a matter of mind - and I mind being old. Actually, I don't mind growing older. That is a state of being. What bothers me is growing up! I have had to do that too! 15 years ago, I told my son to turn down the volumn on the stereo. His reply - "If it's too loud, your to old." It was to loud. Amen

I think the only time that age should matter about ANYTHING is when you discover your girlfriend is only 14. :_dupe:

However, when it comes to owning a Corvette.....anything goes. :auto:

Seems to me life is a continual process of growing up. I'd never go back to those young years again and try to live through that unless I knew what I know now!

Perception is the only reality. If you perceive you're 29, then 29 it is! Time does seem to go quicker once you own a corvette!!!!!!! :steering:

I'm much older than that ricer next to me. My car is much older than his Mitsusushi too. I do have to admit that a few moments later neither he or his car look too bad in my rear view! :auto: :auto: :auto: :D

Does age matter - yes, it absolutely does! You've always got to keep in mind that you only get so much time. If you're 40, don't be thinking you're 20 with all the time in the world left. You don't have all the time in the world. Like Bob Dylan said, 'those not busy being born are busy dying'.

Not to be depressing but its true. Now I will let you all in on the secret of life - get through it as best you can!

Yeah...like you have a choice :rolleyes:

Given a long enough timeline the mortality rate of planet Earth is 100%! No one gets outta this life alive!

Yeah kid, age, like size, matters. If it didn't...you wouldn't be askin' :seeya
