What's up now?
Thought I'd start a thread to see if any of the 100 odd (some very odd) members from the past drop in want to share what they're driving or up to these days.
I've been retired for three years now, still have a G coupe and continue to enjoy it. We've got two hondas on the driveway as well, a CR-V and Civic. I've started a small business that keeps me active and may even make some $ some day. I"ve done a little travelling and am enjoying the fruits of some 40 odd years of work.

Neat thread Sam.
I must be one of the odd members you are talking about.
I also am enjoying retirement. Doing lots of travelling, fishing and boating. Still enjoy cars, I now have my 2010 FX50S.
I just took my 21" wheels to Toronto and am getting them done in Hyper Black.
Karen and I drove Route 66 a couple of years ago and finally got to meet a great guy from here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. That person was ABQ G35 (Tom). WE also met up with Wannabe (Janik) in Minnesota.
WE gotta have an Old Farts Meet soon.
Here's a pic of my FX, it has my 20" Enkeis on it in this pic which I will be selling soon.

Gonna look sharp with those Hyper Black rims Wayne. No where closer than TO to get them done. It looked great at the Meat Meet. Another meet would be fine, maybe in the Autumn.
I've been retired since July, 2011. Mostly during good weather, March/April to Sept/Oct I ride my CBR1100XX SuperBlackBird. I still have my G35 sedan but it's no big deal, just decent transportation. The only mod is four winter tires. I'm a house husband and enjoy making my wife's life easier. Two grand sons, two daughters. We have a home in the Philippines so we can escape dark, wet, West Coast winters. My sisters have a home in Merida so sometimes we go to the Yucatan as well. I usually tour Wash, Oregon and Northern California on my bike every year. I'm 70 in the Spring so some stuff has slowed down. We live very close to the beach with a 110 M outdoor pool on the beach so swimming is an easy relaxing exercise. Been doing it for years. I highly recommend retirement. So kiddies, stay out of debt, save for both the end days and rainy days, don't smoke, dope or drink and you might have an ok life. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myloma last October and I was on my CBR in August. Avoid needless anger, love your family, and give back to your community. End of lecture.

At 32, I'd agree. GL with retirement at 35. I waited until I was 60 and now wish I'd planned for it more aggressively.
I was lucky, I was able to retire at 52 and just love it. I am always busy.

It's amazing how we lived a life, raised a family and worked at the same time. Now that I'm retired I seem busier. Nature abhors a vacuum, eh.
