God bless you Bob!! At 42 I thought I was too old for a Z, but bought one anyway. Posts like these make me proud of the decision I made. Frankly I think I'm still too young for a Buick!!!
BTW... My Dad (75) only started using a computer when he retired at 62. I bought him one figuring it would help him pass the time when the weather wasn't good enough to play golf. Now he's a pro and can Google with the best of them. Goes to show you are never too old to learn new tricks!!!

It's good to hear that you are still getting on with life and enjoying those little things.
Age did not stop my father, visiting from Atlanta, from driving my 350 and 240 this weekend. He was so happy driving these cars that he took my girlfriends M Roadster for a spin and was promptly pulled over for speeding! 72 years old and speeding in a convertible. No ticket and absolutely no humility.
Age is a number!

Way to go Bob! Nice valve caps. This is great that we have such diversity on MY350Z. People of different ages tend to look at things from different angles therein increasing the knowledge of all.

Only old people speak using "steam engine" references. It's all about the hydrogen engine now.

Okay, younger guys, what is the oldest one can be on here and still talk about doing the deed(s) and related topics?
trains, nice report. I've had several trips over 500 miles but back always bothers me. You've got me on the age thing by 6 years.

I'm 56, Dad's birthday is tomorrow and he will be 93. He loves riding in my beautiful super black. He got to old to water ski and ride motorcycles in his 70s and he hasn't been able to play golf since he was 87. Pisses him off. Oh, and he's a WWII hero, Purple Heart, Bronze Star. D-day+2 90th Division TO.
Living long is a trait in our family but it is both a blessing and a curse. I'm afraid I will live to be 105 but run out of cash when i'm 95. Ha
