If you think turning 30 is bad, wait ten years Kev.

Hey, 40 is not bad either.

I have decided I am not middle-aged; I have decided I am "Timeless". Screw the media fostered stereotypes.

Look at it this way: our 944's are OLD cars. They still rock though, right?

I resolve to be a 951 analog as I age... more frequent repairs, but worth the effort and still capable of outperforming the newer models.

I'd give anything to be 30 and single again. Being single again is a distinct possibility, but 30 is long gone. I guess the grass is always greener...

You know, the first 40 years of my life felt like a day. Since 40, I've felt EVERY day! Happy B-day! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I turn 35 this year. 30 wasn't so bad. (My wife threw a HUGE party.) The dog and I woke up in the back yard with a hangover.

There are roughly 9 women for every male in the city of Atlanta. How's that for some odds!! (Oh by the way, of that 9, 3 don't like men, 3 are married, 2 1/2 are cranky and the rest are available.)

Hey Happy B-day!

I am 37 and this has been one of the best times of my life! And if I can date woman in their mid twenties, well you sure as hell can as well!

Just 2 years ago I parted with the fiance who insisted I sell my cars to pay for a big wedding.
Talk about a woman who did not understand me!

Remember that making it to age 30 still beats the alternative... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Ha ha...30, that's unbelievable!!! You are ancient! I'd be surprised if your life is still worth living in any way. Your reflexes are probably shot and as for getting it up...

It's unlikely you'll find any woman who'd take a second look at you, you old dog.

So, please remember to leave me your car in your will, do it right now before you forget.
