Thumbs up A true geezer

Hi all. In going thru the posts above, it appears that "vintage" is anyone younger than me>

I'll be 75 about 2 days before the Mayans say it is all over (Dec 19).

I have a recently acquired 2002 S2000 Sebring Silver, black interior, a whole lot of miles. I prefer to think of the color as GRS (German Racing Silver). I've been on the fringes of sports cars since the mid 50's last century.

I have a reasonable autobio on my web site http://www.joncallihan.com

I've been a retired computer programmer since the Y2K non-debacle. I'm now a kinda full time oil painter / sculptor artist.

I live in Lafayette, Colorado.

We have about 2 inches of snow on the ground as I write this.

Jon

Welcome, Jon! I've seen you posting over on S2KCA, and I hope you'll stick around here as well. Believe it or not, there are a couple of folks here who would consider you a youngster!

No doubt. No matter how old you are, someone is older. Much like no matter where you go, when you get there that's where you are.

Somehow I envy the snow birds, but my better half has always wanted four seasons, so here we are.

Welcome to the old fartz forum even if most of us are young pups. I'll be 67 next Sunday - I guess that is considered middle age now.

One of the guys in the Peachstate PCA chapter used to change his car number every year. His car number was his age. Last time I saw him, he was running number 84.
