How old are we? - Page 2

STEINBVG · 01-24-2021, 01:58 PM

52. New to guns, but a seasoned mechanic, good diagnostician/ troubleshooter.

Ron Wood · 01-24-2021, 02:25 PM

Only 81, and I am appalled at the amount of increasing maintenance that requires.

86 and counting. I will have my yearly physical in two weeks. I had a great report last year. Of course there are no guarantees.

gunbugs · 01-24-2021, 03:30 PM

Just a youngster at 60. And can say exactly the same thing as Ed, as to how I feel some days. But, it doesn't keep me from looking for my "next" Luger.

Norme · 01-24-2021, 03:32 PM

I'm 82. Let's face it guys, with the exception of Herr Kaiser (who may have mistaken us for one of those kinky dating sites), we're just a bunch of old f*rts.

HerrKaiser · 01-24-2021, 04:48 PM

Well Norm, I will say that what I often see on here is sexier and looks better than almost anything on one of those dating sites. And the Lugers wont nag me about getting chores done around the house.

Turned 63 last November, age is not our friend. Right knee replaced a year ago, need the other and a hip. None the less, I'm enjoying our hobby and the company on this forum.

MikeP · 01-24-2021, 06:47 PM

73.

foxdoublegunner · 01-24-2021, 07:47 PM

Well my friends, I just turned 64 and am retired twice. Now I am back in school to prepare for my third career. I am happy to see that I am towards the younger end of the spectrum. It gets tiring to be recognized as the oldest Marine in residence at the annual USMC Birthday celebration.
A friend reminded me this past Friday evening that I should eventually accept that there is a phase of life after work. I felt like telling him that my father died at 94 and worked right up until the final days before he went to the hospital to die.

spripple33 · 01-24-2021, 07:52 PM

I'm 43 but IMHO it's not the vintage of the vehicle, it's the mileage and how it was taken care of.

Compare a pampered 1st gen. Corvette that has lived most of it's life in a climate-controlled garage with a beat-up '89 Chevy pickup that has over a quarter-million miles on it and has never even seen the inside of a garage.

I've had that truck almost 20 years. We both have rust and dents and some aftermarket parts...

But it's been a hell of a ride!

Sonofeugene · 01-24-2021, 08:21 PM

69, here. Looking forward to 70 so I can take my SS. Meanwhile, I mostly feel like I'm in my 50's.

pauly · 01-24-2021, 09:32 PM

61 here.

Vlim · 01-24-2021, 09:50 PM

Mind: 51. Body: 102...

Sieger · 01-24-2021, 10:16 PM

64 but my mind is much younger, or so i have been told by many.

pitsword · 01-25-2021, 09:56 AM

76 here and feeling very blessed.

Schupo · 01-25-2021, 10:48 AM

75 and still having fun collecting.

Sergio Natali · 01-25-2021, 11:16 AM

Some days I feel a bit like Edward does, this year I'll be 67 in November.

MP38 · 01-25-2021, 11:31 AM

I can agree with spripple33.

My mind is 48, but my body has been road hard and put away wet. Feels like 78.
