The engine will be 52 this year. Hope to get at least 30 more years out of it. Never know though. Being a firefighter the motor could seize at any time.
Geez,this one is hard to answer,for one with the advances we are seeing in medicine,who knows,but on the other hand,quality of life becomes an issue,I watched both of my grandparents live well into their 90`s,both needing nursing for the last 5 or so years of it,so if they tell me,ya we can help you live to 150,but can not improve on things like alzimers or bone density,I think I would rather ck out at about 80 or 85,so that I dont make my children suffer like my parents did,but then again who knows what medical science will discover next.
I plan on keeping my engine running for many more years. I finally found the love of my life a year and a half ago and I want to stay with her for about fifty more years- that would make me 88, BTW. I hope that having something to look forward to helps the engine keep running.
I'm not sure when I'll seize up, but the way I feel most days it probably won't be long. As it is right now, I'm in shock at the new forum look and think I've spun a bearing. I guess that's what happens when ya don't stop in for a week.
WELL lets just say that the jackhammer has 300 plus pounds per square inch an if i find a nice big three engine to fix it could probably be a while yet......
Maybe this will help answer your questions www.deathclock.com it told me Ill live to be 98 so ive got a little over 80 more years till I go to the junkyard In the sky.
