I am amazed that a 79 year old can get in and out of this car with out breaking a hip or something and that he can use a computer. Well done sir.

Yeah. I understand it was a really neat week-end but I paid a penalty for being there. I was booked at the MGM. I had no idea what I had let myself in for. By time I got from the parking garage to my room in the west wing, carrying my luggage, I had totally screwed up my back. I checked out early Saturday morning but was so twisted up I had a hard time standing. I went to the Toyota dealership at 9;00 am but I just wasn't able to stand around and left to head back to Tucson. I regret my week-end turning out the way it did but if we do it again I'll just grab a cheap-o motel where I can park in front of my room and not kill myself. I really appreciate the effort that every one put into making this a happening. |

45 is good stuff.. I bought my first vette at 45.. A 99 FRC C5. The most inexpensive model at the time.. And the least weight..
One time I was washing it.. And this young girl about 6 or 8 years old Comes over and says nice car.. "Thanks". Does the roof come off, "No" I say.. She says... Oh you must have got the cheap one.. LOL.. Kids say it like it is.. It took the 04 z06 to get me out of it.. |

47. I'm usually the oldest when hanging out with the import tuner crowd but it's a breath of fresh air. I'm always learning new things and love being able to pass on a little wisdom once in a while.
My son just graduated college with a major in chem and I feel more connected with his age group than I do with my own. Sometimes I feel like a freak but whatevs.. Being in IT and having an interest in tech has also provided some of that perspective. It's really nice to see such a diverse crowd. I certainly hope I have some of the same enthusiasm as @whaap when I get to that age. My mother is 76 and I feel like I am raising a kid all over again. Not that I'm complaining but I find it humorous and ironic at times. I love her dearly |
