How long do you expect to live?

Just picked this up from another forum. Based on your lifestyle, the life expectancy calculator will predict how long you'll live. It says I'll die by age 78 unless I eat more veggies, in which case, I'll live to be 83. Try it out!

79

Seems too old to me.

Maybe I'll get a 550 and pull a James Dean.

I am expected to live to 79 but can add 6 years just by eating healthier and not getting into any more car accidents or getting speeding tickets. If I start exercising more, I can get pretty close to 90 years old.

81 seems to be what our family ends up with. If I make it that far will be happy. Have cheated the grim reaper a few times and feel that its all a bonus from here on out...

I came up with 83.

But, I figured I can take up heavy drinking and recreational drug use and only drop it to 71.

Excuse me while I go get some coke and a case of beer.

I told it I was 42, didn't wear a seatbelt, had a DWI on my record, had high blood pressure, used drugs regularly while drinking heavily, and had a family history of heart trouble. It said I should have died 2 years ago.

88. Quite a few members of my family have exceeded that age so I will give it some credence.

75 for me. Interestingly the BMI says I'm obese at 6'7" and 280#. I had to back my weight down to a cool 200 to be considered normal. At 200# if I turned sideways I'd disappear completely.

Hmm. I'll have to think about that, for awhile.

So, another Time Trial has come and gone at Buttonwillow - where were you? I keep thinking I might see you at one of these events.

The next one is Aug. 6-7 at Thunderhill..........
