Old fart here

[Qcman17]

57 here be 58 next month and yeah this car gets hooned on a regular basis. I often take it out for just a drive and find some back roads and let it rip. This car is stupid fast and I love it! I need to get better rubber on it than the factory Pirellis as this thing can break loose at nearly any speed.

Right. They seem like they never break in and get past the new tire feel.

Yes good analogy. I was out last week and had the traction control intervene twice around 70 mph on a couple hard pulls. I thought something was wrong with the car at first.

60 in a couple of weeks, and drive it as much as poss. Bonus time here in Mn. since no real snow, and or road chemicals have been put down.

I'm 52, not as crazy, as I was as a younger man, but still love that tall pedal down to the floor. Not as often as I used to and pick my opportunities with more prudence. I picked just about the loudest exhaust I could so I didn't have to be stomping on it to have the audio sensation of doing it. But when I do stomp it everyone within 2 mile knows a gear head in heaven got their wings!
I actually bought my car last Oct. from a 79 year old gear head that bought it to celebrate his 75 years. He put 6500 miles on it and decided it just might be too much car at this point in his life. He loved that it was going to another mature gear head.....instead of a "snot nosed over-prive ledged unappreciative little a- hole". I think he may have meant his own grandson who was on hand to see me pick it up and drive away!
You fellas with 10 or more years on me got mad props from this old dude!

Hey guys Like the title says I'm an old guy [57] But I still drive it like I stole it! Not all the time of coarse but a lot. I bought this car to have fun and it sure as hell is! How many older guys on here drive their cars hard sometimes?

55 and drive hard all the time

Thought I smelled something....

LMAO - kidding....

but at what point is one considered “old”? I’ve seen 100yr olds that look like they’re 60.

I plan on still driving at 100...and being in a Mustang.

 

[stageron]

62 and gearing up to buy a 2021 base Mach1 manual....nuff said.

60 and i still do burnouts

 

[slammer223]

Yeah, but you get the SS payments soon, no?

Old-timer!

Soon. Yes.

 

[CJJon]

Soon. Yes.

I actually have to retire a month early. SS payments are going to change. They will be lower when you first retire and then gradual increase until you get to your full benefit. This all happens the month I am supposed to retire. If I go early, I get 99 percent of my benefit. If I wait a month until full retirement, I will get 80 something percent.

I just did a burnout with my 83 year old mom in the co-pilot seat! She loved it!

 

[mustanghammer]

You mean 56 is old? I am the youngest guy in the race shop I prep my race car in. Age is a number....

 

[johnscousin]

65 and loving every moment behind the wheel!
