Stopping driving is one of the hardest thing that you have to do as you get older. Driving provides freedom and letting it go takes that away. Letting go of the Model A is right up there at the same level. Some people let go of their Model A too soon and some too late. My goal is to hold on to mine as long as possible but set some rules to follow to know when it is time.

None of my 4 kids seem to have an interest so it will be sold. If any of the kids steps forward they will have to buy it, with the payment distributed among all 4 kids. In other words, the one who buys it pays 3/4 of the selling price. (A 25% discount.)

More: Age is not the determining factor. Safety is. Our neighbor, suffering from dementia, had to give up driving before she hurt someone.

Step on the gas, for tomorrow I die. Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past. Last edited by nkaminar; 10-17-2025 at 06:43 PM.
