    67 and still cruise every chance I get. Still feel 18 and hope I feel that way for a long time.
     
  11. turning 65 next month, been slowing down the last year, body is not working to get shop liquidation going, but by the grace of God will keep on trying.
    of course when tired out, its time to take a cruise in a cool car so I am blessed with a few toys, a nice shop, a ton of tools ,and a little ambition so life is good as long as I can keep moving:D

    Yeah I qualify. I'll be 66 in a few months. I never thought that I would reach 35. We were told not to trust anyone over 35. They were right.:D I'm still on the green side of the turf.

    Just turned 60 in June :D
     
  28. I'm 60 when I'm not in my car. I'm 18 when I'm in it. why is everybody so concerned about age? Drive, build, pass on what you learn, we all only have 24 hours in a day. Don't try to live past it, just live IN it. KEEP DRIVIN!
