When I hit 60 I slowly started drifting that direction. I have always loved working on cars and motorcycles. I still have the tools, a place to store them, and an enclosed workspace. What's fading is the desire. Particularly for things like the coilover/strut replacement on my F150. I don't mind getting under the car and I don't mind getting a little grubby - truth is, I still like doing that. I think, though, that I may have replaced my last clutch and, perhaps, plastigauged my last bearing. And that's OK.
There are many kinds of "enthusiasm." No one should be excluded because they don't spin the wrenches.
