65 here…
I just developed some new Knee (both) issues in past 4 months out of nowhere. Some days I cannot walk 5 minutes if I actually get up and stand. Slipping on some Ice 8 years ago is suspect no1! Word to the wise : better fall on your ass than trying to recover the slip .
It takes some planning to get the car out of the garage and gassing it up.
No problem getting in. No fancy driving: The Heal-Toe downshifting no longer an option, the twist for that is just too painful & the hell with any quick breaking, some tire squeal is much more entertaining.
Sometimes when I get home I try to get out and its not happening and fall back in & then decide maybe its better If I just go for another ride…
We have a few new Roundabouts around here; I’ve taken a liking to go-round a few more times than really needed… The second gear seems to be the most satisfying at forgetting any pain.
Anxious young Neighbours I never met are now inquiring”How much for the BRZ old man”… It’s not for sale it runs fine.
Friends asking why I don’t have any Ought-to-matic cars available…
I’m a avid cyclist and staring at my bikes for the past 4 month is even more painful.
Waiting for the results of x-rays…
Never thought I would say it: getting old is no fun.
Any doubts if buying the BRZ at my age last year was a fools plan? GTH!
My biggest Bug is will it be my last car before they pull my licence!
