I'm so old, I remember as a small child fearing that the Japanese were going to bomb us on a Suday morning....like Pearl Harbor. That's when we referred to them as Japs, certaimly not PC now.

I was in my 50s when I got mine. I have had muscle cars for the better part of my life of one kind or another. And sold all of them.

Also I find it easier to give my age if I leave off the first 4 numbers and just use the last two over and over.

Ron,

They tell me wisdom comes with age. Here is the question--would you rather be wise or old.
I'll be 65 next month--but, young and stupid was fun

I would say most of us are stuck somewhere between 12 and 14.

Pushing 42. Had mine for 3 years & loved them since I can remember.

Also thought it would be a little safer than getting a bike. Hopefully!

Maurice,

If I were as wise as my age should dictate I would be right up there among the best. But unfortunately, I don't think in my case wisdom progressed with my age. I seem to be stuck somewhere in the teens wisdom wise. I agree that young and stupid was fun. I still have the stupid part, now if I could just get the young part again.
