I guess i might as well be in this club, I'm 39

George16 02.27.2009 07:00 AM

42 years young but I still feel like in my twenties especially when I outrun 20-something year old sailors on our 1.5 mile run:lol::party::whistle:.

JERRY2KONE 02.27.2009 09:32 AM

Ok.
 
Ok well I guess I qualify for this one:intello:. I just turned 50, but that is just too hard for me to believe:eyes:. Being involved in this hobby does help to ease the pains somewhat. We have 8 kids total but it is only the younger ones that give us a hard time about being old. We have two grandkids already, but we still have more fun then any of them. Haven't you heard that 50 is the new 39??:lol: Hey lincpimp you are too young to be in here looking around. Your ID is not good in here young man, so stay out of it:diablo::whip::rofl:.

Most gas stations require you to show ID no matter what. Sorry to burst your bubble. :na:

Not bursting yet. It was a small local grocery store and she did not card the two people in line in front of me!:yes:

Im 37, with all the bones I broke skateboarding and mountain biking I feel about 62 when winter hits or rains coming lol. I was in the supermarket buying smokes (yeah yeah) and the lady carded me. I was like are you serious im twice the age to buy these cancer sticks, the guy behind me said I should be flattered. I said sure if i didnt have to go back out to my car and get my ID in a freezing snow storm. I can't get no respect

40 years young here! Funny thing is, that I am more into rc's now than when I was racing 20 yrs. ago

After 35, you definately don't heal as fast!

SidewaysLS4 02.27.2009 05:37 PM

I feel for all you old guys, but I cant join, I'm only 39

trev3813 02.27.2009 05:55 PM

Im 16 :mdr: if you live in upstate new york and see a blue 85 dodge with a sled in the bed, go the other way, thats me!

I hit the big FOUR-O last August.

To all the younger guys...

Stupid shit that you do as a teenager and in your 20's, will catch up to you! When I hit 30 I started falling apart, manly it was my back. So two back surgeries later I started acting like I was no longer a teenager. 40 has been ok so far....except my perfect vision isnt so perfect any more. Now im having to use reading glasses.:intello:

Has anybody in the 40+ club noticed that your vision is starting to go south?

So far my vision is still great except when I'm driving at night. I seem to be more affected by the glare of oncoming headlights :neutral:.

Bingo.
 
WE HAVE A BINGO. Yea I started having to wear reading glasses shortly after I started into this hobby, because I was having a hard time seeing the tiny screws during installation. I have had 20/20 all my life up to now. That sucks. In my mid 40's I noticed that I am loosing muscle tone and just cannot do all of the same stuff that I was able to do before. Luckily for me I have never had any broken bones or major injuries that can plague me now. I keep telling myself that I need to start working out, but just cannot seem to get myself to actually do it. I am truely spoiled with the comfortable life that we live. I am loving life though. I have two pensions coming in and really do not have to work anymore. Even with the economy going into the toilet I can still get whatever I want without worrying wheather we can afford it or not. So life is good at 50.:party::yipi::yes::intello:

No problems with the eyes, joints or back, but if I don't get enough sleep my friggin' pressure goes up. So no more all night parties are build sessions. It is at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night because I hate taking pills.
