mad respect man! Most people I see that are your age are driving boats. Like buicks, cadillacs, lincolns etc. :respekt:
If you don't mind me asking, what did you do in your younger years? Motorsports industry?

LOL. I had two career type jobs. I was a young LEO in the suburbs of Detroit for seven years and then spent the rest of my working life handling automobile insurance claims. I retired in 1989 at age 55. As far as motorsports go, I spent 60+ years riding motorcycles and driving a few neat cars along the way. A good number of boats, power and sail, were thrown in for good measure.
Your comment about buicks, cadillacs, lincolns, etc. reminds me of a story I have to tell. In 1982 my wife and I were looking to buy a new car. The only foreign cars I had owned up till then was a few VW bugs. After some extensive shopping we were setting in a new Volvo and honesty I was pretty much impressed by the car. I suggested to my wife that we buy it and she said: "No, let's wait till we're old." We went across the street to look at Toyotas for the first time and ended up buying a Toyota Celica.
We still haven't bought a Volvo!
