I turned 79 last Saturday. Still in good health and driving the Z regularly. The Z recently broke 100,000 miles. No problems with the car this year except that I had to replace the hatch struts. Did this once before but the aftermarket product was a piece of crap. Spent a little more on the new ones and I hope they hold up (no pun intended). I stopped counseling kids in school at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. This means I will put 90 miles less on the car each week. Volunteered to tutor 3rd graders in math one day a week at a local school. It's satisfying, challenging, and I don't go home worrying about the emotional well being of the kids. Longest drive with the Z was to Scottsdale for the Barrett Jackson auction (120 miles each way). I still love driving the car and get a lift each time I take it out. Will keep it until I am no longer able to drive. It then goes to a car loving young man down the street who is part time grandson and part time friend. He has promised to eventually pass it on to someone else. My 82 year old wife is still healthy. One major life event. My mother died last October at 103. I still miss her. She was a kind, gentle woman. Hope to be back here next year with an update.

One question: How do I change the Signature form 78 to 79? I used to know but forgot and can't find instructions on the profile page.

 

Congrats, Bob!! That's all so awesome. I hope I'm still driving my Z in 20-some years too!!

To change your signature, go to the top of the page and move your mouse over your user name (right side) then scroll/click on "User CP" (control panel). Once that opens, look down left side for "Edit Signature". Click and have at it!

 

Glad you're keeping the Z around! Hopefully the grandson will continue to take care of it like you've done!

 

Barrett Jackson! I'd love to go someday.

 

You go, Bob. We could use you as a regular, sir! Come back any time.

 

Outstanding Sir! I hope to be in a position to do that things you are doing now. Come back anytime! You can be an inspiration to some of the individuals that require a role model!

 

Keep Driving the Z, it is an elixir, the fountain of youth on 4 wheels !

All the best to you for the next 100,000 miles !

Until next year's update, Drive on !

 

Hoon that bad boy as long as you can, Bob. Happy birthday and my condolences for your loss. Stay well!

 

I hope at 79 I'm still able to drive and somehow cam work a current computer

 

Good for you Bob and keep on getting on! Many blessings and happy belated birthday. I retired and turned 61 this year and hope to keep driving right along with you.

 

Get off the sidewalks everyone!! Look out!!! Bobs coming!!! J/K, hope Im as capable at that age!! :-)
