Are there any Pintos that still run? b/c if not I need another old age indicator.
Got a tip for us?

You know you're getting old when you watch that guy in the Evolution of Dance video and all you can think about is how that's going to be killer on his knees....
My first car was a '67 Mustang. What I'd give to have that baby now How quickly 30 years goes by. Now my oldest is 16 and going into his Junior year. Remember Aerosmith "Rocks"? For some reason that album is definitive of that era for me. Oh, and Queen "A Night at the Opera"... and "A Day at the Races". Good times!

My husbands first car was a '67 mustang and we still have it ... for now.
I've had a couple of strands of grey hair sense as long as I can remember. I used to pull them out. Now, I sometimes try to style my hair so that I can show them off.
Also, I realized that I was driving at 10 and 2 the other day. And, I was comfortable. No slouching the the drivers seat with one hand on the shifter. No one hand on the wheel and one on the window sill. It was one firmly at 10 and one firmly at 2....

combating the ravages of old age
5 things to do to fight old age
1. avoid shopping at Josesph A. Banks or Norstrom, instead shop at the Bannana Republic or J. Crew
2. exercise so that you can have a lively walking gate.
3. get into the latest music. you can't coast on what you listened to in college..it is just lame
4. dye your hair and pay attention to grooming (much cheaper than plastic surgery)
5. think positive and opportunistic of the future
5 things to avoid because people know that you are desparately trying and failing spectacularly
1. getting that sport/convertable/antique car
2. don't ride a Harley/Davidson
3. your jean waistline should not touch your belly button
4. for god sake avoid talking about getting the Led out...yeah you know what I mean (in case you don't, Led Zeppelin)
5. don't get into wine unless you drink to get drunk

That was a nice car. My father had a 65 Galaxy 500, blue, and completely restored it; new upholstery, rechromed bumpers, new paint... then the brakes failed on it while he was backing the boat and trailer down the boat ramp.xsedrinam said:Sorry. Couldn't pass that up.
He hit the brakes, nothing, pedal goes to the floor. He grabs the handbrake, but by now the rear wheels are floating, so that didn't help. In desperation, he guns the motor, just in time for the hood to go under, and suck about 20 gallons of salt water in through the carbouretor... Now he's about 20 feet offshore, and sinking fast, so he crawls out the window and stands on the roof. He's going to have to swim for it, but he has his father's heirloom wristwatch on, so he takes it off, shouts to the people on shore "Catch this!" and throws it. The throw's short and the watch smashes on the rocks at the tideline. He swims to shore; by now the car is on the bottom in 15 feet of saltchuck, and the boat is bobbing around nose-down where the cable from the trailer is pulling it down. He crawls out, climbing up the rocks, and finds the watch, in 100 pieces. He turns the watch over and on the back it says... "Waterproof".
They had to get a diver and a towtruck to get the car out.

HS tends to define us: music, cars, fashion, etc.
So the first time you realize that you are twice 17 as in 34.
The second time when you realize that you are three times 17 as in 51.
etc.
BTW, I have CDs that are older than some college grads that I know!
You think that band names are way too silly! And of course you don't recognize any of them.
All your old clothes have shrunk alot in the closet.
You drop everything to make an important phone call, then forget why you were calling! (I hate that part)
You appreciate $200 dinners and bargins at the dollar store.
My HP 12-c calculator is 23 yrs old!
First car? '64 Dodge Dart.

Your faverite songs in high school are now played on "oldies" or "classic rock" stations.
Cute young girls call you "sir."
You make that "uhhhmph" sound every time you get off the couch.
You know what an 8-Track Tape player is or used to own one.
You drive at or below the speed limit.
You remember what it was like to have to get off your butt to change the TV channel manually.

Well, considering I bought my '67 Mustang for $800 back in 1976 and today they can be worth as much as $25K I'd say you did good to hang on to itnjmac said:
