Yes, senior moment! It's a 2016.

I know time seems to go fast as you get old , but 2106 is a stretch.

Dammit man, I thought you'd nailed down time travel and immortality!

And all I get is a typo?

I know there is not time travel in my lifetime because I would have already visited myself.

Wow, this thread still doing quite well since it's start in May.

I've decided to call the ownership of the FRS/86/BRZ, at this age...an end life crisis...seems apt to me.

I have no problems getting in and out of the car, as others state they do. 5' 7" tall, 140#. Don't have bad knees yet, just bad lungs.

As I've stated elsewhere...just completed a 1450 mile trip. Now 38,302 miles on this just two year old FRS. Can it be possible to fall in love more with a vehicle as the miles pile up ? Does seem so. I hope Magyarman finds that to be true, as I have.

Anyone out there who thinks they are getting forgetful ? Starts around age 50.

From The Simpsons GRAMPA in this week's episode:

"I forgot what I was saying at the beginning of this sentence"

My 1st car was a 1966 1300cc VW beetle with Koni shocks/oversized front sway bar/camber compensator/porsche 912 clutch/EMPI headers/rejetted carb.It was a blast to autocross and at the drag strip ( 20.22seconds at a blistering 67mph)
2nd car was a 1969 Nova 2 door with all the bells and whistles---nice car but not for auto sports.

Since then it's been all family cars. Now in my dotage(retirement) I've decided to begin my 2nd childhood. I presently drive a 2007 Yaris 3 door,so a bumpy ride is natural to me.
