I am 64 1/2 and owning and working on these ol' cars
can be quite a challenge, But
driving them makes life Fun.

64 here, although most days I don't believe it.

Still have the '36 in my avatar; pic taken the day we brought it home, at age 14.....

It's really tough being a 23 year old man trapped in this 65 year old body.
