RE: Another kill!
60 ain't old. You're in your prime!![8D]
My Grandad whose 83 years old blew me off the road the other day with his GMC truck. It's a 2004 5.3l and he braggs about it all the time. I didn't see him coming up behind me, but I was running 60mph and he passed me fast enough to shake my car. He had papers and various trash flying out of his truck bed! I ran him down and returned the favor. Later he said, "You didn't know the old man could keep up like that did ya?"
Crazy old ppl

Actually, more of an amusing story than a kill story. Yesterday, I was headed home, and so was my wife. We had been two different places, so it was accidental that we ended up at the same stop light. I was in my 07 GO GT, and she was in her 95 Crown Vic. It has the stock 1995 version of our 4.6L V8 in it. Well, she started giving me "let's go" kinda signals, and I thought she was just clowning around. But, no, when the light changed, she jumped me. 
So she got me about a bumper for a couple of seconds until I reacted and punched it. No contest of course, but we did have fun. 
Okay, it's more amusing if you know that I'm 60 and she's, uh, well, not a spring chicken, either. LOL Our grown kids would be surprised to see the two of us street racing, for sure. Or maybe they'd put us both in the "home." [:'(]

RE: Another kill!
My dad is 64 and a coupla years ago he was at a burger joint cruise with his Grand National (just drag radials, CAI, and boost upped to 22 psi) when some guy with a new WRX STI started talking smack about GNs. My dad invited him out to the street and they lined 'em up.[:-]My dad smacked the other car down pretty good (a bit surprising IMO) and the other guy gave him props. I hope I'm still having fun like that over 30 years from now.

RE: Another kill!
My aunt drove until she was 80, and she used to get pulled over for speeding quite regularly. She would tell the officer, "You're not really going to give a sweet little old lady like me a ticket, are you?" And to my knowlege, she never got a ticket. Actually, she was just about the sweetest little old lady I ever knew. We lost her recently, and I don't think she had an enemy in the world.
