Default Old Age Crazies

Just purchased a 2008 Coupe, 436, fulfilling a life long dream. At 71 the thrill is not gone and I have only about 7 more bucket list items to complete. I am a retired Police Supervisor from a major Texas city. I purchased a cattle ranch with my retirement and I am now the only cattle rancher in my neck of the woods who is seen from time to time "punching" his Corvette along Hwy 287.

I am looking to forward to everything you have to share.

Hello Fellow Texian, "Old Age Crazies"??? Sounds like you are making an excuse or apologizing for having "Earned It".
I have the NW end of 287 covered for you as it passes through Amarillo and I make no apologies for my 71yr. old a$$
being in a 2015 Z06 while cruising it. I earned it too!! Congrats to you, Enjoy!

PS - I don't do the cowboy thing any more as I was in the 4-H Program growing up and had my fill with punching cows.

Welcome from the Central Texas end of Hwy 287. Glad to see a "Younger Oldie" enjoying his dream. I can tell you it's still fun at age 80! (Cows Too)!

I am going to the grave leaving fingernail marks all the way. And I might even do a little kicking and screaming.
