Well, I'm 71 (12th of next month) and I'm holding on to my 40th Anniversary Ruby! It has a little over 32,600 on the clock, even though I drive it almost every day. For the record, 71 may make me an old guy, but the Corvette keeps me thinking young! I've perfected the entry; it's getting out of the cursed thing that gives me a bit of a problem. Sort of, groan and roll left, with hand firmly on the sill. Sometimes it takes more than one try, though. :D
