Age....it's just a number. Stay young at heart and you'll do just fine. BTW, a vette will certainly help accomplish this.

65 and currently running a '10 GS Vert. This is number 12, started at age 17 with a 63 Vert and since then 11 Vettes. They keep getting better but C5's were the best touring Vettes ever.
