My birthday was last Monday the 21st too.

[njccmd2002]

33 here, and?

car is a car. enthusiasm has no age limit.... some in their 60 s play nintendo.

[Fastbird]

Wow, I didn't know there were this many old farts like me here? Just playing guys, although admittedly I don't like the fact that I'm 30 now.

[CelicaST_CALI]

there needs to be like a little area under name that says ur age..it would make talking to ppl easier.

[SeverX13]

on friday i was passed my a supra TT right? so i sped up to see who it was and the guy was about 55 or 60. he jsut grinned and pulled away. Thats a cool old man IMO. would have been cooler if it was a celi tho

[Batman722]

I think I'm the oldest !

[Fastbird]

I think I'm the oldest !

Survey says??????

[Batman722]

35

[CelicaST_CALI]

16!

[azian_advanced]

so is this now a 'post your age' thread or what...
anyway i'm pretty young compared to most of you.. ha! ha! *points finger*

[Crem]

Damn I'm 32 and a chick. Does that mean I have 2 things against me?

[manphibian]

I'm 30 next year, pretty disappointing

.....and i still got ID'd twice last week buying beer

[frisp]

40 going on 16

I'd KILL to be ID'd. I quit getting carded at about 18. Starting to lose your hair young has it's advantages I guess though. Now that I've been shaving the dome since I was 20.......no carding at all.

[97Celica]

<--25 and I've owned several Celicas.

[99GT]

Turning 21 in a few weeks!

[axelrduvirage]

happy b-day Fastbird. you are never too old for your Celi. it's all in the attitude, dude!!!!

i know 30 can scare i guy. it's the age where you start to doubt yourself, your exploits and your dreams. you still have 10-15 years to make amends before you hit...DUNH-DUNH-DUUUUUUUNH...middle-age. live life as you see it. don't let others tell you you are not "acting your age".

take a look back to where you were 10 years ago and rejoice in the fact that you've made it this far. your contribution to society, the legacy of your efforts and the lives you have touched are why you are the person you are today. not how you act or what the date stamped on your driver's permit says.

i turned 46 in March this year. i refuse to "act my age" in lots of ways. i drive my Celi with gusto. i love to spend a few bucks on it once in a while. i just installed 2 10" subs and a 700W amp. i listen to BOOMBOX [39] on my Sirius, i listen to drum&bass compilations, i listen to Asian Dub Foundation, reggae, rock, techno -- with the top open, the windows down and the stereo turned up.

don't let a date on a calendar get you down. you still have lots to give and lots to learn.

[Bricy]

You sir are awesome in my book!

[x_itchy_b_x]

i knew the celica was an old man car!

God I'm old. I can't believe it either.

First, let me add my Happy Birthday wishes. Also, the 21st is a good day for a birthday - my son turned four on the same day. Second, 30 ain't sh*t! You're not even to the halfway point, yet (well, hopefully ). Admittedly, though, 30 is kind of a down year, but it gets better. I had quit smoking shortly before 30, then once I passed that threshold, the inevitable decline in metabolism rates came into play, and I found I no longer had the energy of a twenty-something. Consequently, my weight went up to 231 lbs (at 5' 9"), I was always tired, and felt like I couldn't keep up. Now at 40, I log a little over 20 miles/week running, I ran my first half-marathon last year, I'm training for my first full marathon this year, next I'll be looking at a triathlon, and I top out at 189 lbs. Also, I routinely outlift a buddy of mine who's into Crossfit and is the supervising lifeguard at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. I actually look and feel younger and better than I did when I actually was 30.

But ultimately, the age we are in our hearts and heads is the one that most makes us who we are, not a recorded date on a document most of us haven't seen but a couple of times in our lives anyway. Live on, get older, be better, and enjoy the experience. It beats the alternative.

[lagos]

I just turned the big three-o this year too. And I will fully admit that it sucks. Time just goes by so fast.
One positive thing though, is that it really motivated me into thinking about what I want out of life and to go back to school (what I should have done all along instead of getting drunk, going to parties, or working in dead end jobs).

The funny thing is, everyone tells me I dont look my age. I normally get carded, at bestbuy when trying to buy an xbox game! hahaha, I get a kick out of that. Bars on the other hand are a 50/50 split. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they wont.

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

40 going on 16

lol 25 (26 in 3 days, wheres my presents?? lol) going on 10 here.

i dont think your ever too old to drive any car. heck i always see 60+ people sportin cars that are geared towards younger people (like scions, seem to be the "in"thing in colorado for the elderly) as long as you still like your car drive it till you kick the bucket lol

[GriffGirl]

Well hot damn! I finally found the geriatric crowd! It's like Burning Man, and I've come home! (Burners? anyone? anyone?)

Get in line, sister. I'll be 35 in November. (and as for having 2 things against you, so far as I've found on here, the answer to that would be a resounding no!)

[CelicaST_CALI]

my car is almost older than me....hhaha

[OOBE]

Don't feel bad, man. I had my birthday last month and now I'm closer to the 30s than to the 20s. I feel...like dying.

[Supersprynt]

I feel...like dying.

At your age, soon enuf.

[j0e_p3t]

you guys shouldn't be complaining yet. 30 is the new 20. a few of my cousins are in their mid-late 30's and still got game. a couple of them doctors and one with 2 teen daughters, but they're definitely not "old."

The actual number is not what sucks about it. I mean, I dont feel any different from when i was 25. Its just the idea of being that much closer to actually being old that sucks.

FTMFW!! (even though i sometimes need MUCH caffeine to act like i was 18 again )

my car is almost older than me....hhaha

That's sad.

Last time i had a car that was old as me it looked like this:



But it's True

[GriffGirl]

DMan what's sad is that car probably looks better than you did when you had it LOL

a few of my cousins are in their mid-late 30's and still got game.

The fact that this is even worthy of noting makes it sound old still. It's like saying "you look great for your age"


or worse yet, being called "ma'am". WTF!!!!

[DEATH]

33 [21 in the head] and I still get carded. Finally staring to put on some weight but I'm on the fence as to whether it looks better or worse on me.

[shaunrichard]

Get in line, sister. I'll be 35 in November. (and as for having 2 things against you, so far as I've found on here, the answer to that would be a resounding no!)

You've got 2 other things against you!

[OOBE]

LOL. On a serious note, I always hang out with my neighbors, who are in their teens, and people think I am their age. I do not look much older than high school kids nowadays. I can blend in easily.

Now, experience-wise, while they were in middle school, I was dodging bullets in the Army. When it comes to a ¨time to separate the men from the boys¨ situation, then the age difference is apparent, LOL.

Yeah but I've got two things going for me if I just look down

dirty bird.

Edit: wait. That zeroes me out. So I have nothing going for me now.

whenever i hear "Sir" i look behind me to see who they are talking to. it is one thing that really irritates me. sir and ma'am should be stricken from the English language.

x2, when i'm dealing with some of my "old timer" clients, they act with a sense of respect, but it pisses me off That and when i'm around lots of family, and i have to be the grown up and make the little ones quit acting crazy (*sigh*) i require them to tell me "Sir". Something that my daddy taught me; just as a way to "show em who's boss" or something like that... I really hate doing it too... "sir" & "ma'am" is FTL.

That is just rude and completely uncalled for. Yes, we all know the blue dots refer to post count, not intelligence. Way to insult someone. That is real mature.

I'm gonna have to get Ripley and Joe drunk this weekend on 6th street just so I can hear these stories

[GriffGirl]

^Yep, I went in 2004 and can't get back soon enough... unfortunately tix are expensive and I no longer own an SUV to haul a week's worth of food and water down. I will be back though - it was absolutely one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Truthfully, it is life altering. It just changes your perspective on the world as a whole.

[DEATH]

Sounds a little to hippy-ish for me But then again I like being a conservatively minded, Gothic/Industrial walking dichotomy

[GriffGirl]

LOL by how much, a couple of months? ha ha ha

Actually IIRC I think you're like 32, aren't you? Then I've got ya beat by a few years... ugh. Man, I can't believe I'm turning 35. Somehow the math just doesn't add up. At least I don't look 35! (or so I'm told)

Sounds a little to hippy-ish for me But then again I like being a conservatively minded, Gothic/Industrial walking dichotomy

Nah, you'd totally dig it. It's really not hippy-ish. It's more like a naked rave but with barter instead of money for commerce.

[darthripley]

I'm gonna have to get Ripley and Joe drunk this weekend on 6th street just so I can hear these stories

LOL! i'm the one with all the stories ... i had some wild times back in the day
I stop before I get anywhere near drunk & have done so for about 9 years now ... I have my reasons that I don't want to make public to the world.
a couple of beers is my limit

I've heard that from several people that have gone & we're definitely gonna make it out at least once.
Thankfully the Camry can hold a small village in the trunk so we don't need no stinkin SUV

You're farting in the wind. There is only one Griff sighting on this entire board (and out of friendship to her I will not point you in its direction). Seriously, though, Howard Hughes was more open to publicity than her!

Just kidding, Miss Griffin. I'm trying to flush you out.

[GriffGirl]

ROFL!!!


but w/out pix




I'll see if there's any pix to be had this weekend. Between Halloween and my b-day, there's bound to be at least one I think. Maybe. Hell, I don't know.

Edit: here's one for now
