The odds of finding a car that was beat on by somebody in our age range is just as good as a current 18 year old. Same applies to finding a car that has been meticulously maintained since there are young guys that baby their cars and old guys that still drive the crap outta them.
My father was born in 1910 and my mother in 1914 so yes, they lived through it all. Their experiences obviously had a great effect on me. However, that wasn't really my point. The guy who made the comment was in his late 30's, maybe even 40's and to him, we were "OLD Folks".
I guess we are but I don't think like I imagine "Old Folks" think. I know we both feel older than we wish some days but I still laugh at fart jokes and like looking at naked ladies. (I can't speak for the wife.)
