Bacardi11, I'm in Naples, will be here till the end of the month. We come to Naples every winter and totally enjoy the experience. The Ferrary car show on 5th avenue in March is not to be missed. If you come down next winter let's plan to meet at the show.

I live up in the Orlando area, but I get down to Naples every chance I get. One of the most beautiful areas of Florida (other than the Keys)

Gene, I'm only 65 and turning to the next number May 30th. When are you coming to Naples? And how long are you staying? I'm like 125 miles I think. I know I'm not walkin'! Did you ever make it to one of your granddaughters football games? Is she still on the cheering squad?

I am 78. Have an 02. When I bought my car, my wife and I were both looking for new cars. I had an 84 Mercedes that I had had for over 20 years and really didn't want to get rid of it. So I told my wife that I would not buy another car unless I LOVED it. We looked around for two weeks, about every luxury car dealer in the Raleigh,NCV area. We went to the Lexus dealership after a Volvo mechanic told us that Lexus was the car to buy.
I saw the SC 430 and told the salesman that it looked too small. He said get in and drive it. I drove it two blocks and told him that this is the car for me.
My wife bought a SUV.
I still love to drive the car and at least once a week someone tells me how good it looks. Except for changing the timing belt and water pump I have done nothing to it except changing the interior and backup lights to LED.
I may buy me another car but I will probably never get rid of this one. My son and grandson both said they want it when I can no longer drive.
I'm still riding my Harley so I don't think I am ready to quit driving a car very soon.
