Default I think I'm getting OLD!!!!

Well I'm 40 years young and been driving my 2 supercharged bimmers hard almost everyday. Last weekend, I got stucked driving the wife and kids all over using my wife's GS300. Anyway, I still miss the bimmer's road huggin feelin every time I enter or exit the freeway or making sharp turns but I guess upgrading the stock suspension with TEIN CS will fix that. Anyway, this morning I told my wife to drive my bimmer to work and I'll use GS3. What's happening to me???? Is it the comfort and smoothness of the LEX or am I getting old???

LOL...my friend has a 02 M3 decked out turbo, and loved it. He drove my gs430 the other week and asked me to trade him. Of course i declined it! Even though it's nice...i just love the look on the gs and the feel, comfort. Just love it....hey....am I getting old too???
I had a darn 99 civic hatchback with a b20 turbo and a 89 240sx with a rb25det, but yet, ill love my gs more than anything.

You guys under 35 are not old. You just got class, style and know what you want. I think what I have now is what you call "denial". 10 more years and I will be 50. For a guy that runs 5 miles a day, I think the LEX is growing on my veins and I hear voices saying "get rid of the bimmers and get an IS350!"

I think hitting the 3-0 is old.

I get to drive my brother in law's 745i once in a while and on the freeway, it beats me up
After getting back in my gs, I want to take out my 18's and put in my 16's with the 60series sidewall
Talk about approaching oldness at 33 huh?

I felt old hitting the 2-0 on saturday, haha.

I knew what I wanted, and I went after it. You have found what sophistication and comfort really is, and you're going for it.

I love my GS3.

Yeah man, you're old.
I'm 18.

Don't sweat it though, life is always greener on the other side... but get this, you've already been young, dumb and full of ***.

Now it's time to grow up and live life finally!

Thumbs up Like a bottle of fine wine.

If getting old means enjoying riding in my GS then so be it.

Your not getting old. Your just getting better and wiser with age.

Btw, I turned 40 this year too.
