Getting OLD kinda sucks...
 
Turning 30 this year in a few months. My hair is thinning out faster then I can cut my hair. My body aches more when I run. dreading getting old guys. Sometimes I feel misplaced wanting to buy a BRZ when I am 30. Can't really hang out with them young bucks anymore because most of them can't even remember shows like Martin, Magnum P.I., Quantum Leap and so forth. Not to mention when you talk about the late 80's and 90's and the cars in that era.

On the plus size my income has gone up and my insurance is SO much cheaper. :thumbup:

We have senior citizens here.


Just be glad your **** still works

Assuming it still does

I'm starting to see many seniors driving twins in my area, perhaps the same crowd that used to buy miatas. I was 30 when I bought my FR-S :D !

I was going to say!!! 30!? I just turned 32. I'm in better shape than I eve have been and doing better financially than I ever have! Only gets better, man! Keep your head up :thumbsup:

I turned 32 this year, I don't mind it at all.

I'm 19 and I feel old already, I could only imagine how I would feel about me turning 30..

I turn 30 this coming January. Definitely feeling it, but I like it. I feel more mature and "adult." If anything, 30 is where your life really begins, because your 20s are just extended childhood.

I am nearly 56 , but when i get into BRZ i am only 18.
These cars are so much fun , that they mess with my head.

I definitely wasn't looking forward to turning 30 either but I tried to make the best of it... I spent 4 nights in Vegas and bought an FR-S ;)

Just turned 24 on the 18th.. It's weird lol I'm engaged, out of college, making good money. I don't party except every now and then. I guess I grew up too quickly?

I mean, I can still heavily drink, but I feel pretty crappy instead of mildly crappy, and that's enough to deter me a little since I don't like feeling unhealthy even though I am pretty unhealthy in general. I do a lot of faked handle pulls and then pretend like I'm more drunk than I really am, works pretty well. Definitely prefer just sipping a few glasses of something nicer though.

The day I can't get hammered anymore will be a sad day.

Just wait till you turn 60 !! I will be 61 this year.. Holy shit!! WTF.. How did that happen..
Aches and pain is all part of the landscape at this age.. Gravity is not your friend, staying up late and partying is also becoming a faded memory.. Lol.
I got Grandkids! One is 9 years old already.. Me with Grandkids? Still seems unreal..
Yet I still think and act like a kid.. I don't see myself as 60+
I still play video games, smoke pot and listen to rock and roll.. !
I have fun with the Grandkids and play with them on their level.. In fact I teach them bad words and get yelled at by their parents..
I've developed an attitude at this age that is priceless.. I don't give a shit what people think.. Family or friends.. I do what I want.. And I don't answer to anyone.. I'm financially independent and own everything I have.. House , cars.. Everything.. I have no bills or mortages.. I'm retired!! Left the workforce on my 55th birthday and never been happier!
So you see.. There is much to look forward to.. Life is funny like that.. When you lose one thing you value.. You gain something else that becomes important to you.. Wisdom from experience makes you see things differently..
So fear not young man.. You have much to look forward to.
Everything changes and you always find new joys along the way..
Hang in there.. Look forward to many years of new and better moments.. And don't dwell on what your losing or think is so important..
