I was born in the wrong era!!!!!!!

Id rather been born in the late thirties. Coming of age in say... the early fifties. Too young for WWII, too old for Vietnam. V8 becoming the main stay. Making good money in the sixties and driving bad *** muscle cars the whole way through the seventies.
Retire in the eighties from a company that still offered a retirement.

Die today @ 80.

On the flip side... I did drive a 2015 Shelby GT 500 the other day. That was fun.

I'd say that's about right without being a Debbie downer and dwelling on death. I think that a lot. If I had a choice, that might be it! Those 50's and those peaceful and prosperous times of that growing post WWII leave it to beaver era.
