Still a car guy. But different. When I was young, I was like Ricky Bobby. I wanted to go fast. Bought "fast cars" and tried to make them faster. Tracked cars via driving events. That made the gofast attitude on the street halt as i realized how not wise it is to use the streets as a race track. And I think, for me, modern sports cars are way too capable to use the car to even 50% of its potential. (I live in silicon valley, so congested. And the roads by and large need repair.)
Now, i bought an old air cooled VW (I have a water cooled P car as well) and just want to cruise around with no radio on, just myself and my thoughts. Still want to work on it, as it's my "me" time. It's a swing arm car, and I spent a few hours raising the rear passenger side 1 degree to satisfy my OCD. But I enjoyed it. So, not out of the game yet. One day, I know my body won't let me do what I want to do. But until that day comes, I'll be tinkering. :-)
