Talking Getting Old??

I know I must be. Looking at the content of many of the posts I can safely say that you may be getting old if....

You have a full set of tools, but don't change your oil anymore.
You would change your oil, but you are afraid you couldn't get off the floor after.
Your sig would have pics, but you don't have a digital camera.
You can afford an L, but don't drive that fast anymore.
Your radio presets are Talk radio and traffic reports.
You only listen to the radio loud because you have to.
The girl in the L guy's sig looks a lot like your daughter.
Your truck is stock.
You spend more time in Towing and Hauling than Superchargers.
You aren't sure what MP3 players are, or if your truck needs one.
You aren't sure what "bling" is.

Any others??

Actually your post is quite funny. It reminds me of the guy that I was behind in traffic yesterday.

That's what I was afraid of.

it's not the years - it's the mileage that's starting to get to me...

Peacemaker, You better be kidding about that 26 stuff and "that's not old is it?"

I'm 56 and after a comment like that I want to take my Depends off and mail it to you in a plain brown wrapper.

I didn't think that I was that old until I read this thread. The majority of the list hit pretty close to home except for the fact that I still change my own oil, my wife bought me a digital camera for Christmas, and I don't do talk radio

Will the MP3 player give my truck better fuel mileage

Try using some Icy-Hot or Ben-Gay on your sore legs. It really works. And put a hot damp towel over the sore spots. That helps too.

I can't be too old. There are only a couple on the list that apply to me. I am 31, as of today and I still feel young. I just realize that old isn't all that far away.
