Discs, pads, suspension arms, stripping rust, painting exposed parts, full lube job, serviced and waxed at 68. Wow. What about the car?
The last time I actually got under the car I dozed off. At 76 and 6/12 my back has gone, my neck is awol, and my hip is looking at travel sites. Draw a veil over the rest. But I enjoy every minute of every day. If I'd known how long I was going to last I'd have done a lot more really bad things.
