Excuse me, little youngster, but I have an AARP card and an SCCA membership card in my wallet. We can still see over the steering wheel and find the clutch and brake pedals, you know (well, some of us, anyway).
Yeah, and some of you can run over people at markets while confusing those pedals. 
Didn't he have a Buick? All bets are off with people with Buicks.

I didn't mean to be insulting. It's weird to be called a youngster though ; I'm 29.

You weren't being insulting, I'm just jealous. Somewhere back in the mists of time I was 29...at least I think I was.

I made my own CEG shirt, although nobody has ever asked me about it. I am going to get some lettering and put the site's addy on my back windshield. I have nobody to get stickers from yet, so I will have to do that.
I also tell a lot of Contour owners I see about the site. Of course, I don't tell the Silverhairs, but most everyone else.
Today I was surrounded by Contours on the way home. Had a Post 98 White SE, the a post 98 SE Red Sport, another post 98 Tan SE like mine, as well as several others going in the other direction.
