Once we were playing soccer with em. Well she mostly sat on the very small goal meant for hockey or something and I'm not the greatest fanatic socker player myself. A man biked there and he yelled: Hey!! Boys against the girls? Lol.

I think the car should be pensioned off.

That's great. I'd like to do that again. I was able, at one time, to coordinate the clutch and accelerator when I had to stop without even using the floor brake. It took some practice, but I wanted to prove I could do it.

I remember doing that, but stopped after a mechanic friend told me it was a good way to wear out the clutch.
New clutches were a frequent auto repair back in the 70s, as I recall. I sure paid for several of them...

"In June 1953, former President Harry Truman and his wife, Bess, took a 19-day, 2,500-mile road trip from Independence, Missouri, to the East Coast and back. Driving their 1953 Chrysler New Yorker without Secret Service protection, they visited friends, toured Washington, D.C., and saw a Broadway play in New York, famously being pulled over in Pennsylvania for driving too slowly."

Understanding the Impact of Aging on Driving Ability
"As our loved ones grow older, it’s natural to become concerned about their safety on the road. Aging brings about various changes in both our bodies and minds, which can affect driving capabilities and raise worries for families."
"Addressing the topic of driving with an older family member is often challenging. For many, driving represents a crucial aspect of independence, making them hesitant to relinquish it voluntarily."

Its nice to see pictures of other old folks here. I'm age 91 myself. When I was born the greatest US President in history was in office. His name was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He beat the Axis powers in WW 2. He served FOUR 4 year terms before dying in office in 1945.

I wasn't around yet, but I do agree with what you said! He made some mistakes, but in general he was without a doubt the best this country has ever had.
