Name them, I'm honestly curious on this one :)

Of the top of my head, PainterOfCrap is in his late forties/fifties, daslog and possibly Bulk Vanderhuge and Viggen are in your general vicinity, I'm not sure about IOC but he's probably a bit younger than you. Das Volk strikes me as fortyish, but I really have no clue on him.

(This is based upon general posting maturity level and who I can recall that has younger/teenage/adult children, I am sure at least one of these is way off base)

I've moved to Edmonton last month and won't have a chance to own another car until much later this year. If there are any goons in the area who need a helping hand and free/worthless advice, I'll be glad to get in the way of repairs.

In related sad news miata prices in this province are horrible.

IIRC Viggen has 2-3 years on me, which would put him in his late 30s.

Motronic is close to painterofcrap's (assumed) age, I think.

A few years back when I worked my grocery store job, I carded a guy for beer. He was a regular, but I'd never seen him buy alcohol before.

He went off about how we always card him and how he's really 42. I told him to take it as a compliment. :haw:

Next time he was in I carded him just to be an rear end :v: (then pulled the JUST KIDDING bit)

I still get carded occasionally, but only when I have a hat on (it hides most of the grays). :corsair: I turn 36 in 2 months...

I've got one more year until I hit forty, but I still get carded if I'm wearing a hat or am in lighting where all the grey at my temples isn't obvious. It's happening a lot less often now though. :(

Daslog, Bulk, IOC, DV and Viggen are a few years younger. Dunno about Painter, dont think he's in his fifties? Motronic is 43-44 I think, def not older.

I'll be 31 in a month and people consistently guess 25-26 if I haven't mentioned anything about my kids or family. Nobody on my dad's side of the family looks their age at all. My dad turns 67 this year and he's looking more his age these days, but that's mostly due to Parkinson's Disease. His older brother turns 69 this year and honestly looks about 20 years younger than that.

I just got a haircut yesterday and the grey hair is coming in fast in my temples. Only one bald relative (mom's brother) and he started going bald at like 23, so I think I missed that gene. My paternal great grandfather lived to 102 and still had a full head of hair when he died, so hopefully I take after that side of the family.

Got an interview this afternoon for a job as a lab safety specialist at a college (the college I graduated from, actually). It would be closer to my house, more active and engaging than what I'm doing now, and would be a 40% pay increase for me. Fingers and toes crossed on this one.

Everyone hyperfocusing on age is hilarious. 34 at the end of July for me and it's just a number guys. Sure, I'm not in as great a shape as I'd like and slowing down isn't the best and more grays are starting to appear, but every year is better than the previous. Home life is awesome, work is (comparatively) awesome. Life is what you make of it. Right now, I'm making it my bitch.

Yeah I don't really give a drat. I just turned 28 and discovered I can pick up and carry engine blocks.

I know I couldn't do that a couple years ago.

The last birthday that mattered was 21 and the next that I care about at all is like, 40 or something.

The ennui has been getting worse and the distractions aren't working anymore, the next step is going to be a doozy.

As for the Mini chat CT covered most of it. Rust and crash damage are the things to look out for, everything else is readily available if you're in the UK.

I didn't realize 27 was such a big deal. I'm 28 in July and don't feel particularly old.. except when I hurt my back lifting tires with my back instead of my knees like I did last night.

Under 30 crew here (28). Had good years and bad years but whatever. I'm working back towards getting into the physical shape I was before the last health fiasco. I'll agree on the 'it's just a number, gently caress it' thing.

I look early 20's at best but have the fun toys and freedom of someone almost 30. It's like a win-win.

I'll be 24 this August. I've felt like I was 40 for about 3 years now, most people my age just irritate the hell out of me. I feel like I haven't done anything I set out to accomplish in life like most of the 20-something's here apparently. Looking forward to getting older, job prospects an pay will get better, hopefully.
