Life changes as you get older and so do your interests.

I used to be the FIRST one in a deer stand the morning bow season opened and spent every possible minute in one thru the rut. I'd lug my gear for MILES if it put me over a HUGE buck that no one else was willing to put in the work to harvest.

Then like a light switch I lost interest in trophy deer hunting.

Same thing with these cars, especially racing them. I used to race 2-3 times a week if I could find tracks open and get the car to them. I was hooked on it like a cocaine habit. Then, almost like you turned off a light switch I lost interest in that as well.

I'm 63 this year and still very active with quite a few hobbies, but they are different ones than when I was younger with more energy and ambition.

I still love the older cars but really don't care much about even attending a car show, but I take my grand kids to a couple every summer and walk them around answering any questions they have, etc.

I lost interest so much in the cars that I sold my last one earlier this year and have no interest at all in getting anothe one. IF i do get an older vehicle it will be an old Blazer or 4 X 4 Chevy or GMC truck because it's something I'd use quite a bit and enjoy driving couple of times a week. My Ventura was lucky to get out 3-4 times a YEAR the past few years so it spend most of it's time sitting on the lift. It became more of a PITA because I had to move it to use the lift for other things, so I decided to send it down the road and not missing it at all.

I'd also add here that no one else in my family has the first bit of interest in older vehicles, so it wasn't something I was going to pass on. The wife and grand kids actually LOVE fishing and boating, so I bought a Pontoon boat and we spend quite a few weekends on the lakes around here. Everyone loves it, and the smiles on their faces when we're pulling them on the big tube and bouncing them over waves is priceless..........
