I'll be 59 in just a few days. Been driving diesels for years, and gone through more than a few engines. I'm pretty happy with the Stroker though.
Not to hi-jack......some Dems are so far to the left they're coming around to the right. And some Reps are so far to the right they're coming around to the left. It's a confusing world out there.
..I am now 40something. Retired and working again. Gotta pay Earnest's bills.
BTW Earnest, do you calculate everything? Can you calculate what will be left for me when I finally retire if I ever get there?
Yes I do, and it's people like you that makes my life difficult! How do I enter "40 something" into my equation for average age and expect to get accurate results? I try hard to make all the equations and models that I post on FTE as accurate as possible, but us engineers have a universal model that predicts "garbage in = garbage out"! Come on, give, how old are you?
Regarding your question "what will be left for me when I finally retire?", I'll be happy to email you some retirement planning spreadsheets I've put together, but you'll have to input more accurate data than I've got something like X$ to retire on to figure out how long your nest egg will last.
...and now making a ton of money for damned near nothing and loving the 2000's.
Glad to join this forum, well me and my '05 250 SD V10.

I noticed you're from VA. You must've goten my old job after I retired in 1999. Sounds like you're ex-military and got one of those cushy Beltway Bandit deals in the Wash DC area of VA. Now you can afford the care and feeding for a vintage 7.3L PSD, and keep the V10, if you must, as a grocery hauler.

no matter what numbers or equasions you come up with you can't predict the future
Who would have thought 8 yrs ago a dumb-*** like bush would come along with his infiate wisdom and give the trillions away we had in reserves
another idiot like him and won't have enough for another year
bush is still trying to figger out how many a brazilion is

Riiiight, and how's that deficit doing these days?
I'm 64 and enjoying my first PSD ! Leaving tomorrow for northern IN to pickup my new 34 ft Fiver! That should be a good test for BigRed!

What and where did you buy? The wife and I have been talking about getting a new 5er in the next few years or so, and I know that IN is the place to go for any of the many models built there. We've got a 1998 Holiday Rambler that's doing ok, as long as the duct tape keeps sticking.
I won't get into this -- my last post on the subject here. There's nothing "factual" about calling somebody a name. I'm proud of what we've done over the last several years. The economy is stronger than ever (seen the Dow-Jones lately?), and I've got more money in the bank than I ever have. Looks pretty darned good to me.

Strange coincidence? We do it on purpose to make your life difficult, lol. So for those who care, I am 44. I guess a 45 guestimate for 40s would have been a good swag eh?
BTW, tone down the polital BS before this post gets closed and Earnest won't be able to log a good representative 7.3 age model.

I'll be at the big 5-0 next year (Ernest, that's 49, to be more accurate). For awhile, I was wondering if everybody in this forum was young. I'm glad someone's older that I am.
