all you young guys out there - please don't buy into this thing about how great your golden years will be - sure if you get lucky & retire you might not have to drag out of bed in the AM and head to work - my feet hurt - my back hurt - i have half the hair i use to have - my ***** takes much more time off then he use to - even have to buy him a special pill to keep him happy - hair grows like wild fire in my ears - well thats about all i have to say about that - t
PS one good thing - my insurance is only $234.00 for 6 mo's for my 02 - so i guess the above is all worth it

Yeah
Yeah, but what do you want to do when you grow up? 
I still don't know! At least when I feel the need, the need for speed, I can grab my sweetie, hop in my 02 MY coupe, and take a "road trip" and forget all my problems for a bit. Most comfortable ride ever! Beats our Deville and Silverado hands down. Save the Wave!!

60 here.
For some, a nursing home would just be a continuation of their sedentary life. For myself, it would be pure hell. Ain't going there.
I speak from personal experience when I say the alternative is a noble option.

53 years old and life is great. Kids are old enough to be on their own so wifey and I get to do things like vacation without kids. Finances are much better than when I was younger..... more toys. I'm my own boss. I still get to jam with the younger guys. Wife still looks great and sex is still great.
I DRIVE A VETTE!!
Feeling old is mostly is mostly a matter of attitude. I wouldn't change a thing!

You are only 60
...wait till they shove you into a nursing home and see how you are abused and treated like a non human being...There is no respect for the elderly in this country and all the youngins will soon enough find that out.(when I was younger I used to say ah fooey to all of the above
)
BTW...sory about your personal weenie problems ...at least you can still enjoy your Corvette...most senior citizens never even get to have one
Now on a much brighter and positive note>>>get out there as much as you can and enjoy your Corvette while you can still drive

Tom, your only 60, get going buddy. I'm 64 and doing what I can to slow the aging down. Went to a frienda wedding Saturday and the wife and I took a fun drive up to and around Lake Tahoe on Sunday. Fresh air and curvy roads, great fun. Your close enough to enjoy that run too.
Saw some other Corvette's up there and got some waves.
Enjoy life, as tomorrow is promised to no one.

One good about getting old and owning a Vette. It's easy falling in and it's hard getting out. Why bother getting out? just take another ride. Trouble is is getting gas, then ya gotta get out. I'll drive it until I can't get in any longer. Old is better than looking at the brown side of grass.
Well said. Nothing like a run in the Vette to make you feel like a kid again. Remember both of you need excerise.

Hey!! It ain't that bad
Come on now LOL! Sure getting older stinks but it's not to bad. I'm 51 and feel pretty good. Have to work out more then I use to and thats about all that stinks. Oh yea, having a 32 year old wife does help! Especially when she bought me my Vette for my birthday a few years back. Plus, don't need those magic pills yet! She can do that for me too!

This kinda says it all,
The Golden Years are here at last,
I cannot see, I cannot pee,
I cannot chew, I cannot screw.
My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks,
No sense of smell, I look like hell.
The Golden Years are here at last.
The Golden Years can kiss my ***!

Or the Little Rascal forum. I guess we could soup it up when it comes time. Do they make Borlas for scooters?
Half a head of hair! Bragging again huh? Look on the bright side, when Mr ***** fails, we can go jump in the Vette and play with our DIC. Thanks to the Vette, we'll have the fastest, sleekest car at the home.
