re: "what to expect w/ old age" - an ever increasing bald spot on the back of your head, then your teeth will loosen up and fall out, your lower back will ache most of the time, the arthritis in your fingers will make it much easier to just read magazines and not work on your car, you won't be able to hear your wife yelling at you, and if you do, you won't give a damn anyway, your eyesight will keep changing, and you'll start complaining that your Honda now rides too stiff, that you wish you hadn't 86th the AC and the power steering, you'll piss & moan that all those ricers are too loud and sound like angry insects (and then rememeber that it's your car making all the noise. . .) Or, were you referring to your car and not yourself? Believe me, it's true, and enjoy all this hot rod nonsense while you can !
