I will be 42 on the 25th of this month.

I have tendonitis, psoriasis, a bum hip, hypo-thyroid, high bloodpressure... but I feel like a Shark behind the wheel of my 928 !!!

An old gimpy Shark, but still a Shark.

Here's to growing old with a beautiful shape !

I'm 37 for a few more days anyway. I've owned a "Great White" since March. Nice trade up from my last vehicle a Dakota pickup. Nice trade up from everything I've owned come to think of it. The list includes a 1962 VW beetle, a Chebby Vega (check the gas, fill the oil please), Monza, Mustang, Honda CRX, Mazda, a few motorcycles, SUVs and even a... gulp minivan.

Hi Jessa--

Speaking as a white-haired guy just barely past twice your age, I want to warn you: Insurance rates never seem to go down. Insurance co's will tell you that "it just didn't go up as much this year because you are now 24." Just a thought.

I often wish I was 21 again, knowing what I know now.

Boy, ya'll are makeing me feel realy immature.

I just turned 20 this last September.

I figured I've got time, why not use it to fix on my dream car?

Right now I've got the girl, I've got the car, and I'm working on the job. What more could a guy ask for?

I'm 33, and a month away from 34. But I feel better now than I did at 24 (sounds like a soloflex ad) and have the $ and the peace of mind to enjoy things, like Porsches, that I could hever have had 10 years ago.

I hope that 10 years from now I look back at this as just the starting point for my happiness and good fortune--and wish the same for the many great folks I have met here.

Now you are ALL trying to make me feel old. <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> I've been driving sports cars off and on since 65 and I was 19 at the time. I'll let you do the math and no fair laughing.

Hail and well met Seth!

Got me Dennis...
Recently cruised past #52.
If I had it to do all over, I'd go AIRBORNE sooner.
Maybe cut back on the leaf containing cannabis sativa ... a little bit.
The late sixties and early seventies ARE a little fuzzy, but , I THINK I had a hell of a good time.

Jessa,
The insurance Scam is sad but true.
My condolances...
