Bill:
Think of it this way - you're only 77 and Vermin is 84! Hang in there, he will always be older than you! Not sure of what you think too oooold to drive is, my mother-in-law is 89 and drives everyday.

Well, My great, great grandmother got her drivers license renewed at 97!

She was one tough montana frontier woman! They had her do a drivers test and she passed with flying colors, although she drove very little after that and preferred to get rides from friends and family. She didn't slow down ANY until only a few months before she passed away just shy of 101. So you see Bill, If you eat your veggies and be good you should have at least another good 20 years of driving!

Mitch//pa · 01-25-2013, 10:57 AM

the key to a long life is exercise and eat baby food. ask my 95 year old g-mother that works out in the gym everyday, rides bikes, and does pool aerobics

Ross/Kzoo · 01-25-2013, 11:00 AM

Bill, both working on the A and posting to the FB will keep you 10 years younger.

CarlG · 01-25-2013, 11:17 AM

Bill, You are only 6 years my senior. I still find time to post here AND work on my pickup. Go for it !

Willie Krash · 01-25-2013, 11:21 AM

Bill I'm new here and hope you're not serious about taking time off from posting. It's folks like you and others here that contribute so much for us on a learning curve. Besides a sense of humor such as yours takes at least 80 to 90 years to cultivate.

Bill everyone has a different approach to problem solving, I'm a big fan of "time in the saddle." That approach is most appreciated.

ora masters · 01-25-2013, 11:34 AM

hey Bill you are just a kid i will be 86 in April working on one now and trying to buy another one a 34 witch is first car i ever drove in 1941

dennisonk1957 · 01-25-2013, 12:40 PM

Bill...I agree with Willie Krash....do both...we enjoy you here!

Ha Ha Bill, got you beat, I'm 77 years & 40 days old (be respectful of your elders), guess I'll go out in the shop, turn up the heat and use up some of that $6/ gal. propane.

Buenas dias,
Didn't post this thread to attract attention, just thought I might be BURNIN' folks out with too much B.S. I spend HOURS a day pokin' around here to keep my FEEBLE brain busy.
As I get back to the car, I'll need your help on crap I've FORGOTTEN! Like, do I use a - or a + screwdriver to get the floorboards out? Or, I ordered this part?? Where does it GO?? Maybe I'll "discover" something "new" to share??
I'll just limit my time here & quit being too LAZY to finish the car. Fortunately, there's just a LOT of SMALL details left to do.
THANKS all, you've made me feel like my FARTS don't even STINK! Bill W. & Buster T. (My farts don't stink either!)

mass A man · 01-25-2013, 03:29 PM

Go for it Bill! In one of my Ford books, it shows Henry Ford riding a bicycle at 77!
