DTM Brian Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 It just seemed like the other day I would spend hours and hours in the parking lots talking cars and hanging out with friends. I always thought to myself I would never lose the feeling of wanting to do this. My twin turbo mustang has been sitting since 2004. The motorcycle has been ridden twice this year. I pretty much think of Kenny anytime I consider riding which causes me to leave the bike parked. I am so focused on work that everything else has gone by the waste side. Before I know I will be an old man and not be able to do the things I enjoyed as a young adult. LOL. Sorry for the out of character post. Just sitting here at home tonight which too much time on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I def am feeling this way in the past year. I guess everyone grows up and changes. Even small things as driving a loud modded car for a daily will never fly anyone. In the past id drive whatever daily but now I like to keep my fun and work car seperate.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I feel the same way most days and not being a productive part of society being injured for over 3 months now doesnt help. Hell I have teenage kids at this point. If my son, god forbid is like me, I will be a grandpa in 3 years. I may now be forced to look for an entirely new career with no education and a body not fit any more the type of jobs I always thought I would have.

Mr. Jones Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 lolz. Was just talking to Faigley about this today. I'll be 30 in a year and half, and I feel old. I am lucky enough to still take a bunch of vacations every year to try and enjoy life before I get old and feeble, but I know it is coming.

Cordell Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Funny how just tonight on my way home from a meet, I thought why do I even bother. I need to focus my energy on so many other things in my life. My car and racing is one hell of a drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Jeez, Louise .......... what a macabre group you old guys are To paraphrase a bumper sticker: you don't stop doing the things you love because you get old -- you get old because you stop doing the things you love. When you start feeling the way you describe, it's time to re-invent yourselves. Time for a quickening. Time for a motorcycle ride. Time to go howl at the moon with your buddies, even if your buddies are dogs. I took a lesson from these lines which I had to memorize in high school English class (do students still memorize poems? if not, it's a damn shame): An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing ..... -William Butler Yeats Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. -Dylan Thomas I refuse to get old because it would mean having to give up my toys .... and I do love my toys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 You fuckers should all be out enjoying life. If I am ever able to walk again without the use of a cane I will be ecstatic. Its amazing how we take stuff for granted. I surely have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Life is what you make of it and sometimes it is not easy. I will be 30 in a few months and just want to squeeze even more out of life. Don't take life for granted or live by the way you are told things should be. Life is to short you need to enjoy every day like it could be your last. That does sound dark but you will be a much happier person and do a ton more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiumss Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I know what you mean Brian. Since you are self employed it's kinda the same for some of us with a family and jobs. It seems to me that when you have kids, life really starts to speed up. My problem is that I have too many interests and never have enough time for them. Give some more thought about what we talked about the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
