We looked at each other and dropped our heads. Because of my extreme sports, I have had constant pain for many years, but the next time I realized that I wasn't a young pup anyone, I was driving the XJR to pick up the daughter of the lady I was dating to take to school, some clown in a Mustang pulls up next to me, revs the engine and I switched to sport mode, hit the gas and left that fox body in the dust, then I looked in the mirror and saw a old. White haired guy in a nice suit looking back at me and said " damn" that is me. Just like when I was riding my skateboard
And a car load of young girls slowed to check me out, thinking I was a young guy, until they saw my white hair under my hat..
Patrick, believe me, I feel your pain I still think of myself as the young stud doing tricks on my bicycles and skateboards, and still try to, only to see a old guy looking back at me.
