AmenOn a positive note being older means I take my time do it right, alot of pre planning gathering parts. There is no rushing or half assing it because I dont want to do it again.

I can't count the amount of times I got out from under the car only to forget why I got up. So I go into zombie mode and walk around the garage looking at stuff hoping I'll remember or get down on my knees and look under the car at what I was doing.Turning from the car to the toolbox knowing what I need and in that short amount of time it's....uhhhh?
Not sure that's a positive...On a positive note being older means I take my time do it right,
6 days post surgery back in september 2023.Happened Jan 10th. Gonna take about a year to regain all my strength but pain is reduced
I know..I have 2 porch roofs to shingle this year and want to build a shed but Im like 'when am I going to do that I want to get paint and body done on the dart" every year starts the same...Not sure that's a positive...
I'm 62 so I have to hurry up and get all the things that I will do some day done.
A friend of mine bought a ratty 68 Impala ss I said " it will take you forever to do the body" hes like Ill leave it as a rat rod" I said "youll get tired of looking at it like that..." he just turned 60. I think I would at least DA it cut out and fix rust and shoot a good primer on it. And after that why not paint right?A sign that I am getting older?
When I see a decent price on a project car I would like to have and say no because I know it will be a lot of work.
When you are so darn old and deaf...you park the truck and get the dog out, but forget to turn it off. yep it ran out of gas.... how many hours later!!!!!When you go to start your car and hear that sick grinding sound because it’s already running and you didn’t notice even though the key is in the run position and you have a loud exhaust
Agree, my next purchase will be turn key mechanically, can do paint and interiorA sign that I am getting older?

Well if you can for example spend 4 or 5 hours in the garage block sanding and your body doesn't ache too bad you're lucky, for me I don't feel it till hours later. I realize i may be out of shape too though. I mean I can still do it it hurts more than 30 years ago LOL I also don't do much during the week 25 years ago I'd spend 2 to 4 nights a week after work in the garage till 10 o'clock at night...that slows me down a bit.I'm 69 and all you guys in your late 50's and early 60's are making me feel old. My body is in good shape and think I look great when i look in the mirror...but then I see myself in those stupid security cameras in the Home Depot and it's, who is that guy?
Some of us have bad genes!I am one of the luckiest people around.
I'm going to be 80 yo next year and still get around well and getting up and down doesn't bother me
My mom is 91 and still going strong. She's had both knees replaced and cataract surgery on both eyes. She was pissed when she had to start wearing reading glasses at 86 or 87. She still maintains her own house, does all the cooking and most of the cleaning, plus she is president of the local artist club and is involved in a writer's group. She has been painting for about 20 years now and has sold several pieces of her art.My dad mowed his grass and maintained his house at 92.
