Two pictures of my wife. The black and white was taken in 1966. We were married in December of that year. It is my favorite picture of her. The color shot is also a favorite. It was taken 3 years ago at my 70th birthday party. I married an older woman. My wife was 73 when the second picture was taken.

Happy birthday. Whats your wife think of the car? The Z being our second car made me buy the dreaded automatic. My wife will not drive a stick, so after much debate I agreed to the auto. The only greaf I get from the auto is from stick owners.

Happy birthday Bob. You have almost exactly 20 years on me as I just had my birthday last week. I hope I will be just enthusiastic as you are when I turn 73. Incidentally, my wife and I will be doing a 3000 mile driving trip in our Z to attend the Concours d'Elegance and Concorso Italiano this summer. We are so looking forward to the trip. Luggage space may be a slight issue since we have a ZR, the trunk is very small for long trips. Any good tips on what to do and where to eat while in the area?

We share a similar story. I, too, also have an automatic, mainly because my wife has had so many problems with a stick. When we lived on Long Island I had a stick Honda Civic that was usually parked in gear because it set on a sloped driveway. One day my wife got in the car, turned the key in the ignition, and used the starter motor to drive it right through our garage door. She couldn't understand why the car kept moving. Fortunately we needed a garage door and Allstate provided us with a generous payment for a new one. After that we joked about finding some way to get the car on the roof since that was in need of replacement too.
Happy BDay to you. Hope you have many more. I just hope to make it to your age lol . I'm 53 and l have loved sports cars since I was a kid but know I have to time and $$ to own one and have the time to play. I hope you have many more fun trips.

Another Z fan with many year's experience
Bob, Happy birthday, you only have 8 years on me. I have a 06 Touring 6MT, love it. And by the way lived in Tucson from 1995-2002. We moved back east for work and to be closer to the Grands.
I agree with you. He is a good teen. Has a part time job and will be working full time this summer and probably most of his senior year. He has vision problems that left him blind in one eye. He is unable to play contact sports but is in track, swims, and plays in the band. He is getting the car on one condition: that when the time comes for him to part with it he must find a worthy young person and pass it on, with the commitment that the cycle will be repeated when that person parts with it.
J/K! Have a happy bday!

I like your optimism. I have a patient who is 102. I have encouraged her to have cataract surgery for the past 10 years. She still drives (and can still see well enough), but would enjoy things more if she saw better. Her answer has been, and was again this year, "Not now, maybe later". At 102, she still is looking ahead to the future.
