Judging by your sig, I would say you have one hell of a car collection for them to call the NB your mid-life-crisis car.


On topic.... I am 26, wife is 25 (the NB is hers, even though they are all ours).

I hit 37 on March 11th. I certainly don't feel like I thought 37 would be when I had my daughter at 19. I thought I would be "old" when she graduated high school. She graduates this June and I don't feel "old" at all, tired and stressed sometimes, but not "old".

Well, here's a number that will skew the old bell curve. I'm 59 and will be 60 in June.

I still think young, but I know better.
But hey, I can still break 80 for 18 holes!

I used to think "Don't trust anyone over 30"
now it's 80!

I'm 21 - young but not the youngest And like most men here - acting like a child from time to time (some might call it childish - I like to call it "knowing how to stay young" )

Isn't driving age 16 in most places?

In Nova Scotia if you have your Tractor license you can go in for your road test without going through Driver's Ed or having your probationary license.

A friend of mine who grew up on a farm had his full drivers license before lunchtime on the day he turned 16.

You can get your permit at 15 and be driving by your 16th birthday here.

I'm 58. Feel like I'm 28, sometimes. Other times 98. Depends on how many ladders I've climbed, how much yard work, etc., etc. Thank goodness for Advil.

King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
Well, this year I will be 37...but until July the 2th I will am 36.

If that is the current average age of the people that have mentioned those in this thread, then I AM the average age

Now I am 32, but will turn 33 in May.

Default Your Chronological Age

According to this: Age Calculator

I am presently 41 years, 7 months, and 1 day young.

When you drive a NB or NBC I think you subtract 20 years.
