Nah. 60 is the new 40, 80 is the new 60. I heard a statistic that just this month a person was born who will likely live to 150. I think at that point, 100 will be the new 40.

All I know is that everyone looks SO much younger to me than they did when I was in my 20's.

Here's another classic I almost forgot from the 1970's (seems like a lot of the best car chase scenes were from movies shot in the 60's and 70's.......Before everyone got lazy with CGI and "Green Screens"). The clip is in the middle of an interesting article that explains how the scene was shot.

I don't think we want to recreate this chase with our Boxsters.......Way too much body damage! However, it does remind me of my drive up to LAX on the 405 on a few Monday mornings!!!
