A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Me too. I have a 20 year old buddy with a V6 Mustang, and the other day he kept talking about top speed. A few years ago, I would have been like "Go let 'er rip and find out!" Now I find myself lecturing him about downforce, tire ratings, deer...I left that conversation wondering when I got so old -- and more to the point, how I ever lived to get that old.
