    Mendel I am in the same boat your in.

    I am in my early 70's and have had a couple of close calls medically in the last 4 years. Both issues were resolved by our wonderful medical system and I can still do most anything I want physically and otherwise.
    I don't plan on going anywhere soon but I certainly am aware the clock is ticking down and that it is going stop sooner than later.

    My father is still alive and is pushing almost 100 - I am happy for him but seeing the medical challenge we face as humans when we reach that age I have no interest in pushing the limits on the aging process.

    It would be interesting to know the demographics of people on car forums - I suspect most young people are not active participants.

    When I started posting, I was in my 20s.

    Because I wanted to work on my car. Myself. As much as possible.

    If a particular problem was beyond me, I at least wanted to have some vague idea of what was going on.

    I ended up learning a lot and doing a lot and would probably still be driving my '08 except vehicle safety became A1 after a near death experience. I still avoid driving, but when I drive, I try to do so in vehicles that have a chance in an accident.

    Anyway. I do enjoy working on cars and still do as much as I can.

    As for departing this strange third orb from the sun, know the reaper may make a grab for you no matter your age and or physical condition.
