I have two grandkids now. When I got into this game my oldest was 4 and the youngest 2. We put them through school and watched them graduate from College. Blessed everyday.

If we would have had kids right when we got married 24 years ago, there's a chance I'd have grandkids by now too. Weird to think that, but then again, I'm still coming to terms with having high schoolers.

Thankfully we didn't either. Too much fun being DINKs for 5 years. Last October was 40 years for us and we've almost made it through another year.

You're all old. My kid is only just now turning 5.

No doubt. My body reminds me every day.

Are most people experienced due to the age of our cars or will I see a venting to atmosphere thread if I check right now

There is a definite potential for a vent-to-atmosphere post at any moment!

Chances are slimmer than before but definitely not impossible.

*cracks knuckles* my time to shine.



Gimme like 30 seconds.



Edit: bi*** you thought it was a joke?

Now those are mostly posted in FB groups for turbo cars now

FB groups have been useful in attracting a lot of the repetitive questions that usually get asked by people who don’t take the time to do much research before they ask.

just being a grumpy old man on a Harley haha!

My wife tells me to go for a ride when I get too grumpy.

I have a senior and a freshman.

Two juniors, a sophomore, one in 7th, one in 6th... we finally got one out of college and then just last week my wife brought home 2 more strays (foster kids). WTF

 

[herostar]

Still here, still the second owner of my '95 GSX

Holy shit Zack, how do you even find time to sleep?

 

[curt-s]

You know what's really scary?

If I had kids, I could already have had grandkids by now, with neither us nor our nonexistent hellspawn having had any before turning 20.

I'm going to go feel old over there now..

 

[blcktalipse]

Im still here. Was out of the car game for awhile then a few years ago got a 350z but all my old forums are dead except this one. Still miss my old gst. I've kinda got my eye on a local one

 

[curt-s]

Go for it.
I mean, it's only money
and peace of mind
and sanity
and relationships

right?

I'll throw an update in here since this thread is still alive and it seems I never replied.

Happy to see you're all doing well! While I was always a troll and instigator in the Hangout, I really always appreciated this site and what Luda & company did. I made a lot of life long friends here, many that I still interact with. I still talk to DSMED (Ray), he lives 5 min away. Still friends with random dudes on FB from here.

I sold my 95 GSX back in about 2005, it was toast. The paint had issues, shock towers were rotting, 2 transmissions and I was living in an apartment with no place to wrench! Then....I got into the bike world (bike was in multiple mags) and the Mustang game for a while. Picked up a 69 Mustang back in 02 that I still have that's kinda finished but explored many other hobbies while traveling full time about 150-200 nights a year for work from 2007-2021. Flourishing in the data center industry since 2002 working for the same company and loving it.

I've mainly spent my time boating & jetskiing since 2015. I still have my 3360 Regal, a Yamaha GP1300R and a Yamaha FZS.
Rocking an S7 these days, I love it. Just talked to a guy about a tune & turbos.

I still find myself looking at DSM's & honestly, almost bought a 4VR 3000GT last year to tinker with.

@Ludachris, I'm going to lose this account one day due to not having the email anymore. Any chance of changing my email?

Speaking of old school, I had a blast from the past today. Mike Huml is here where I work doing a product seminar for Uni Clutch. I had a long talk with him afterward. He's healthy and well and still staying busy working on the automotive world. Pretty neat to catch up with him.

Wow, now there's a name that I remember well. It's always crazy to run into people in other "worlds" who used to be active here, especially business owners.

 

[diambo4life]

You're all old. My kid is only just now turning 5.

I am old and my kid is 6. I can't imagine having a kid in my 20s.


Mike Huml? Name is familiar, I can't remember....was he SlowBoyRacing? I used to run an SBR GT12 back in the day. First "new" turbo I ever bought. They used to call them "race turbos" back then hahaha....

You know we are old when we talk to some of these kids at Meets who were born AFTER the First FAF movie came out.

 

[Ludachris]

Yeah, we waited until we were 30 to have kids. I'll be in my 50s when my youngest graduates high school.

Good old SBR!

They like DSMs because they're old school and classics. And they like old movies too, like FAF, or even some from before that in the 1900s.

100% agreed. I waited until I was 30 to have a kid and it was the best decision ever. Me and my wife had been together for like 11 years at that point so we’d had plenty of time to do couples only stuff.

What's up everyone, can't believe it's been 20 years since I had my Eclipse. Like everyone else I got married, had kids, etc.. I actually feel like I'm having my midlife crisis now as I've been stalking classifieds for Eclipse and tuner cars. I want to be a kid again

 

[steve]

I want to be a kid again

You and me both! But I want to still know what I know now.
