Scottie, if I could have found a good yellow convertible, it would have been a no brainer. Yours is really sharp. So wanted to reclaim my AVISPA license plate over here in FL.

Beats the snot out of a Z4, huh?

Senior threads rule! Just had to say that. Only 52, but look forward to it.
Hi - Donā€™t be in a hurry to get to seniorhood. At that point youā€™re on the descending slope of the Bell Curve of life and health problems are on the horizon. Donā€™t get me wrong, it can be great to be retired if that is your choice. One of the best advantages of retirement is being master of your own time - assuming your spouse allows it. Another advantage is you get to start spending all that money you saved, like on cars... Bruce

P.S. Old age ainā€™t for sissies!

Hi - I have a similar saying ā€œI used to like fast women and fast cars. I still like fast carsā€... Bruce

Hi - Youā€™re right. Of course being older does make a difference, but I chuckle when I read on this forum about all the add-on speed parts people are buying and Iā€™m thinking this damn car already goes fast enough for me and going any faster at my age (78) would be borderline suicidal. Back in the ā€˜60s, when I was of course invincible, driving my GTO (after leaving the bars) with its skinny bias ply tires, soft suspension, anemic brakes etc, I consider it fortunate weā€™re having this conversation. Stability control, disc brakes, better suspension systems, etc. have made a big difference, but thereā€™s still a limit even for the best drivers... Bruce

All this is a good read. I bought my 18 GT In Jan 2018 and I just turned 60.. Some of my so called friends asked me was I having a mid life crisis. Lol I was like what makes it a mid life thing.. Seriouslyā€¦. I've had some pretty fast trucks and always drove a truck do to safety and room.. I always wanted a sports car but raising kids put a hold on that. After owning it for 2 years I got to say I love it and should have owned one years ago.

I couldn't imagine putting a supercharger on my GT. I agree. Much respect for the car.

Love of Mustangs does not go away with age. Unfortunately ability to get in and out can:)
Definitely agree - I half crawl out of mine. My driveway is an incline making it even more entertaining. When I go to gym I look around before I start exiting.
Part of being a senior piloting a hot rod with a tight cockpit I guess...
