Welcome!! And it is definitely not too late. Many of us Vintagers came into the car late and are still going strong! And Texas Jim (S1997), our moderator, has had a number of back surgeries and is still tearing up the track and driving to meets all over!

I'd like to report that I've already had a discussion with the local constabulary about acting my age. When I'm testing the limits of tire adhesion I briefly forget about the pain.[/QUOTE]

Yes, the quote about tire adhesion etc., is from me. If you'd like more details about my recent discussion with the local constabulary, visit the Street Encounters section of this forum... look for subject title, It's a Miracle".

I think it was just because there was no "street encounter", ergo you can't post the story there -- even if the story is a good one.

I suppose it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to have purchased an S2000 about ten days ago. At 53 I suppose I should be buying a Mercedes or a Lexus. I've had two major back surgeries and more than a dozen more minor spinal surgical procedures. My doctors tell me that the problem isn't likely to get better. Getting in and out of the car isn't exactly a breeze for me. Also, due the the stock market meltdown, my business revenues are off 30%.
But I have this book, wherein I collect quotes, and I recently reread that quote by Oliver Wendall Holmes and I just decided that I wasn't going to wait anymore. Did I do the right thing? I don't know, but I'm enjoying the car - I'd like to report that I've already had a discussion with the local constabulary about acting my age. When I'm testing the limits of tire adhesion I briefly forget about the pain.

Welcome... your age isn't posted in your profile, but if your aging arthritic fingers can punch that in maybe you can get a badge. Also add your state because it helps us to know where people are from.
