Headed to 77 in 2 months. When I try to get up from under the car it feels like 87.

tom1948 · 02-23-2021, 10:23 PM

I'm 73 and like a fine old wine I've started to go to vinegar.

tomcarman · 02-23-2021, 10:40 PM

I'm Jack Benny's age. Hah! Now that I've got you thinking about that I'm one month away from 63. As my Dad told me, "Son I'm going to live to be a 100 or die trying",

50fordcoupeman · 02-23-2021, 10:52 PM

73 next month but still kicking unless I fall down trying!!

GB SISSON · 02-23-2021, 11:13 PM

I'm 67. I bought my first old ford when I was 19. It was a '28 AA stakebed. That means it was 1972 and the truck was 44 years old. I had my wife get on her phone calculator and we think that would be the same as buying and driving a 1977 ford pickup today. I'd still take the AA thanks.

19Fordy · 02-23-2021, 11:18 PM

Three years younger (1943) than my 40 and
thankful to be alive.

deuce_roadster · 02-24-2021, 12:37 AM
