You don't necessarily know what someone is going through. Someone who is a poor judge of a stranger's age might have been caught in a sting by the local constabulary. OTOH, maybe you look a lot younger than you think! At my advanced age, I would take it as a compliment and move on.

I was never carded all through high school , I was one of two guys that could go anywhere to buy beer , not until I was 21 that the same place I would go carded , to there supprise the room was silent and the sales person gave me that look , kinda like my dad did when he was about to let you have it , if I get asked now , it’s more obout complement accepted , must be the grey around the edges that tips people off,

I am sure if you were to do all the events that Lil bubbles does, you would have a stroke. However, you have to remember, she is in much better shape than you, not too mention younger. LOL Probably a piece of cake for her.

Hello all, hope life is treating everyone well. Rain on the horizon, sprinklers have been off for a while! Hey Scott, ran into Brian Bogle and we were talking about your crazy neighbor.....wild stories man.
Have everything to lower 60, will get cracking on that ASAP-trying to find info on replacement rear shocks after lowering.
Been dialing in custom tunes for the 6.0-my favorite by far is the "SPD Locked" under full throttle it shifts into full TC lockup in 3rd-5th....it helps with traction as I would spin all the way thru 3rd before. The 3rd to 4th shift is HARD! Fast, fast tune with little to no smoke. I did put my catalytic converter back in to quiet down the exhaust, 4" turbo back with new turbo and 10 blade hot side wheel was pretty obnoxious. It is tolerable now. I had some 4" flanges made so I can go from straight pipe to cat when needed .
Have a good weekend fellers
