Default Old guys step in here please

Okay, I am a member of several forums as I am sure most of you are. I have a ’03 Mustang that I have mod’ed quite a bit and drag race it some. Before it, I had a pro-street truck that I showed and raced. It seems most of the forums that I visit are primarily dominated by the younger set; maybe it’s a drag racing thing. It seems like there are several of us older folks on here. Just looking for a head count of us over 50 young'uns.

Old enthusiats started out young don't feel bad by seeing a bunch of youngins out there just share the wisdom and steer them away from the fast and the furious mindset that seems to be taking over

We had a poll on this a while back. It gives an idea.

Does "just over 40" count?

I know I'm only 35, but on certain days, I feel twice my age.

I'm not sure which of these quotes is correct:

"You are only as old or young as your body feels." or
"You are only as old or young as the body you feel."

"Old guys step in here please"
Old? I'm not old, I'm only 50, old is 15yrs above whatever my current age is, so with that logic I'll never be old, dead someday but not old.
