I'm several years older than you. But, most of the crowd I was with were a decade younger than me because I look much younger than I actually am. I didn't mind. At that time, most of the people my age already have a beer belly, loosing their hair, and becoming more wrinkled. Now, even those "kids" younger than me are starting to look older than me. I have a few gray hairs. But that's about it. I also easily gain a few more pounds over winter. But come spring and summer when I'm outdoors, I become pretty lean again.

I'd like to continue tuning cars and speeding. But, married life just isn't compatible with it. My wife already raised a big stink a couple of years ago when my Laser broke down 150 miles away in the middle of nowhere at the desert. Thank goodness for cell phones. But, it still took until the next day before a nephew drove out and picked me up. It's really that deserted over there.

Add: My time was from late 1990 to about 1997 when my wife arrived in the US and abruptly took over. Since I never got to do V8's in my heyday, that's what I want to do as a hobby. Lots of cheap used 4.6L V8 Mustangs around.

I'm not over there. But, one of our neighbors in Nevada was a cop for the Nevada Highway Patrol. He knew all the stupid stunts I pulled. But, the only thing he ever threatened me for was giving me a ticket for having bald tires.

I could've sworn he himself had taken his Mustang chase car for a spin more than once.

"Hey, tell your nephew if he doesn't change those bald tires, I'm gonna write him a ticket!".

I thought he was joking. But, I bought new tires that same day.
