64 in a couple months.
Company determined everyone must come back in and work in windowless buildings with cubicles.
I bought this tinycar to commute with every day. Then they decided to move to Alabama.

Yeah, no.

Grew up with John Carter, e.e."doc" smith and Richard Haliburton who swam the Bosphorus and the Taj Mahal reflecting pool, slept on top of the pyramids and flew a bi-plane around the world.

48 Y/O Younger... When I start to drive was the time when have an "automatic car" was a luxury. Also was the time when if you have a radio like this in your car, then you have the "latest audio technology" ... waiting for your cassettes!:lol:

I never realized until just now how close a resemblance your avatar has to real life! It is uncanny.

65 in Dec here. Still reasonably lucid and active.

Work from home office. No commute gives me back 2-1/2 hours a day minimum.

Rarely in a bar these days. Better beer and liquor and music at home anyway. Although I do kinda miss the pretty ladies on the hoof. So no time wasted there.

What are we talking about again?

I'll be 73 yo on this coming Halloween...and I've not yet learned how to drive an automatic transmission equipped vehicle.

I drive a 2015 FRS, which I bought new almost exactly 5 years ago.

Car has only 67,000 miles because I did not take any trips last year.

I've driven this car Round Trip, coast to coast 5 times so far, yea, that's 10 one way trips.

Why did this car come with a warranty ? I've never found a use for it before it's expiration.

Cars actually Made In Japan are the only cars to buy. Must have a J as the first digit of it's Vin number, otherwise, forget it.

I think I had that in my 79 Honda Civic. (yes I owned 1 civic in my life but when you are 16 and that car was only 4 years old it was great!)


but I also had one of these powering my 6x9's in the back. At that time it was the loudest system in my high school. 18W a channel baby!

I have my a/d/s separates and power plate stashed away in a closet for some unknown older car that I might get in the future if I don’t want to be robot driven. Also a nakamichi cd head unit.

This stuff was in my wife’s 1994 Honda Dx. I think it was the only one with ABS brakes. Nobody knew about them back then. Hard to find on a dx trim car.

Heck if a stereo
