Dave Ambrose Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 How true.At present, I'm in limbo and worrying, testing is not complete yet. I don't feel well, period. New stuff for me.Dave, I'm pleased to read of your recovery!Thank you. Not knowing is the hardest part, and they often have to run several tests to rule out certain conditions. I'm a dyed in the wool technologist so all the instruments and what-not are interesting. I ask a lot of questions. Stay with it. They won't give up until you do.

disabled modeler Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Glad all of you that are in recovery are doing better and for the ones still working on it hang in there. Me Id be happy to feel my age instead of feeling like I am in my 70s or 80s....I am just glad I wake up in the morning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm 51. I was born in '65. Didn't we talk about building cars from our birth year a long time ago? That could make a fun community build! I'm 43,and I second (or 3rd,4th,etc) that that would be a fun idear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGTRUCK Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think it was George Burns that said "If I new I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself" but then again Im lucky I remembered the quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Building a birth year car.. I was born Sept of 1958, and the 1959s were headed down the assembly line by then. So I collect 1959s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Building a car made in the year of my birth is gonna be a problem as darn few 1942 cars were built.I do have a '42 Chevy complete line brochure in color so I would have starting reference material.

Snake45 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Building a birth year car.. I was born Sept of 1958, and the 1959s were headed down the assembly line by then. So I collect 1959s. Same story here. I was born in '54. There is no 1954 car that interests me, but if we're allowed to count anything BUILT in 1954, that opens up the wonderful '55 Chevy.

10thumbs Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thank you. Not knowing is the hardest part, and they often have to run several tests to rule out certain conditions. I'm a dyed in the wool technologist so all the instruments and what-not are interesting. I ask a lot of questions. Stay with it. They won't give up until you do. Got a green light today after long term ECG. Zero heart problems reported. Arteries all clear and fine and things are pumping as they should. Even a compliment about the blood count, low cholesterol and other values are very nice.Tomorrow a renewed checkup about blood pressure, apparently the meds need to be re-arranged due to incompatibility. I'm much happier now.Great to read lots of older guys still at it here! Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) In Sept. of '58 the 59's were already on the car haulers heading to the dealers. I use to check them out on our road trips to Buffalo. This would make for an interesting thread. My birthday is October of '61 so I guess I could have these choices as seen here................. This would have been brand spanking new sitting on the dealers lots just as the '62's were being intro'd or soon to be. This is a '61 Chrysler Imperial. Or this............. '62 'Vette... Or maybe this......... Or.......... Hmmm interesting.............. Edited November 12, 2016 by MrObsessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Worked on my truck today, raked leaves and cut the grass and I ran out of gas. No not my lawn mower, but me. Guess my body is aging faster than I though that it would. Getting older is not easy at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
