You guys are all a bunch of kids.............I'm 63 and loving the car. I traded in a 97 VWGTI VR6 which was seriously tweaked......It lived on a diet of 5 litre Mustangs.....
Age is a number not an attitude.
The real reason I traded the VW was that my wife refused to drive a 5 speed and she shut me off until I got something she could drive. Let's face it........she had the upper hand here...lol sooooooooo I got the 'benz' with the 5 speed auto!!!

22 at the end of this year, and graduating from University this summer.
I've always expected that my dad will take away the car after graduation, but I think he may have decided to do it early. Having some tension with my parents lately, and my dad makes it seem like I don't deserve the car ANYMORE. I 'm not too sure what that ANYMORE means. My not deserving it I understand; I know I have to start making it on my own very soon. But the ANYMORE part I just don't get. It's as if I wronged him majorly or something.
