I'm 76 (Seventy six) & almost won the last one!!! But another "OLD GUY" beat me out!!!----I still won't buy green bananas! Good thing Ryan lets so many guys & DENISE, have so much fun yakking on threads like this, there is a multitude of great info brought up by all gearheads of all ages, & thats neat!! Next to the obituary column, this has got to be my favorite!!----HA! However, DENISE is 100% correct----"Ain't youth wonderful?" I married my hi school sweetheart in 1951, both of us teenagers, we just celebrated our 57th anniversary last year, all 3 kids are in their 50's now, & oldest grandkid (6of them) is 34, so time does go by fast---even when you ARE having fun!!!! Next time you think you are hurting too much, think of the others laying in hospital beds that would gladly exchange places in a New York minute!!! Oh by the way, I like the comments "You are only as old as you feel"---------Don
Two notes to you younger guys: #1- You know when middle age has arrived when the mother is just as hot to you as the daughter. #2- NEVER, EVER mix up your tubes of Polygrip with your Preparation H.
Good on ya young Don, you were born in a very special year.......1932 ,dont have that many guys ur age here still doing it (Rodding ),hope you have many more happy years in ya 32. Cheers KUZTOM
I will be 64 next month......................but my mind says I'm 20 something!! I have owned my 32 5w longer than most of you are alive (47 years) but thats OK, glad to see and hear from all the younger guys, keep this hot rodding thing alive. Hearing from the "young guns" makes me feel young!!
Totally cool that you have had a car almost 50 years. You should post pics of how it has looked every 5 years if you have them.
I`m 42 and so many projects to do!! I wana be 25 again. Like the young and older guys here to. It`s a family thing!!!!! And i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with you on that, but I would settle for passing what I know on to my 19 year old son..............But I guess I didn't listen much ether .............the age old battle of youth and gray hair (been there done that,,,,,,,out grew the T-shirts though)
your first group is 5 years then you go roughly 10 years then the old fuck group is 35+ years thanks for screwing the poll up Grey beards win again
Just would like to know, Im 47 just curious, have I fallen into the old farts slot yet ? some days I look in the mirrior and think dang who is that handsome fellow and others its dang who is this old guy looking at me.
I'm 62, have two garages plus packed with projects. I have the time, some of the bucks, and half the energy to get things done. Just hope to live long enough to finish and drive most of them.
Okay, I found my meds. I'm finding the back nine in life just as enjoyable as the front nine was and I'm hopin' St Pete has a cold one waiting for me at the 19th hole.
