You know you're old when...

Zed16 · 06-01-2026, 09:26 AM

Like this?

Yes, it does happen on occasion. But then I have to decide before I reach down to pick it up, did I really need it?

What's crazy is that some people think BMWs are difficult to maintain after 100k miles. Piece of cake next to this bag of bones that gets me around when I'm not driving.

Fumble fingers. I'm constantly knocking my hands against stuff and causing a mess. Or for whatever reason my grip just ceases to work and whatever I'm holding hits the floor.

Well,, past 150,000 miles you'd better have deep pockets.

Sometimes the good old days might not have been so good?

Don’t remember that, and I am old. Maybe not old enough. And sadly, an ex smoker. Been around 30 years since I touched one. F*****g disgusting things. 🤮

Staying in the same vein but going back a bit further to the '46/'47/'48 Desoto, the steering wheel was available with this optional extra cigarette dispenser.

"...makes it easy for him..."

Um, is that a "him" in the picture?

I don't think so. Cute little hat and painted nails. And manicured eyebrows. And a dress...

My point exactly. The text doesn't match the picture. I guess the ad writers didn't want to make it seem that this was only meant for women.

It may be difficult making new friends when you're getting old

I don't know why but this makes me feel old?

All of us older folks know all about living on the edge, we used to answer the phone without knowing who it was.
