[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] and still changin points! [/ QUOTE ] I guess I'm too young (18) but whats this "points" business all about? the only other time I've heard it used like that is in Bob Seger's Night Moves, "points all her own sitting way up high" I don't think you're talking about ignition points... I don't get it [/ QUOTE ] DUDE.......Seger was talkin' TITTIES....... The "other" points are ignition points......... [/ QUOTE ] ya beat me to it...btw 32 in two an a half weeks Thanks for all the knowledge that you all have...young and old
[ QUOTE ] Yep, too young to be hippies, too old to be gen-Xers... [/ QUOTE ] I'd disagree. Douglas Cupland, who coined that phrase, was born in '61. He considered himself a Gen-Xer. '60 or '61 would be the oldest of the group if you believe in 20 year gen cycles. Kids born in '80/'81 grew up in a much different lifestyle than those in the born in the 60's and mid/late 70's. So there you would have the end of the X's (61-79) and beginning of what some call Cybers [(80 - 00) due to the proliferation of home electronics and communication devices]. So you're an Xer whether you like it or not
[ QUOTE ] Same here. I'm 32 but I still get carded for buying cigarettes & in bars. [/ QUOTE ] Same here. I'm 33. An they said too much smoking and drinking will make you look before your time...
I'm old enough to: Remember, and have USED those plastic spacers for 45 rpm records... Have driven before mandatory seatbelt laws... Recall what it was like to have only about six or seven channels on the TV... The day that Elvis died... and...DISCO!!!
35. Lucky enough to still have a full head of hair (altough it is a little grey). But I blame that on my kids. 10, 12 and 15. We started a little early, but I think that's what keeps me young. That and the sneaking out to the barn to work on the coupe...
32 and been hooked on hotrods ever since I can remember. The muscle cars and rice grinders just never did it for me. Traditional is just plain coool man.
45 still messin, with old cars and ridin' the rocket.3 kids 10-8-3.I hope it's true they keep you young.
I'm 58 and STILL getting in trouble for drawing pictures of cars when I should be workin'. Now that I'm getting older, I'm building the cars that I want to keep forever. My '49 Olds 98 Holiday, I just (today) bought a '64 Ranchero and my still vague roadster project. I had to have gussets installed in my heart and I want to get these finished in case I croak. It'd be cool to leave the kids and grandbrats my toys as something more than unfinished projects that I use to hang out with my Viper brothers in the garage. Even though none of them have expressed an interest in a period perfect Valley Custom style taildragger.
Uh,, Hummm, Let's see Oct 27th 1943. I'll let you figure it out. Still love old metal just to old to bend anymore.
22 yrs old, wish i coulda lived back in the day when u could get away with a little. damn rice burnin fag-wagons ruined it for me around here. spendin their mommys money on their stick on hood scoop bullshit! but hey i dont let it stop me from doin what i love, buildin real shit.
33,but not aware of it!feel like,well,32?he-he!when my friends had posters of Samantha Fox on their walls,I had a wall full of hotrod pics,so I was heading in the right direction early.
I'm 48 today. If I knew I was going to live this long, I woulda took better care of myself. (yea, right) I seem to have forgotten more then I ever thought I knew... Won't let me vote either...maybe I already did and I forgot it already? I like this board, you guy's are more tolerant of me then some other places I've been. I seldom get lost, people are always telling me where to go. I must be really having fun, they say time goes by fast when your having fun, and it's really flying by. Who's "they" anyway? I think I'm going to go to bed now. Gene
