I must admit it felt a bit odd writing that I’m turning 60. A milestone though.

Cheap enough to repaint it?

I turned 60 just a little less than 2 years ago. When I turned 50, my son told me I was an official geezer. He slacked badly when I turned 60. He had nothing. Imagine my disappointment. I though I had raised him to raise the bar...

That’s what I’m going for anyway

I believe so, I think the white one got me in.

So is the consensus opinion that a 91 is worth some extra effort and $ to acquire? As opposed to a 2008?

I would check out the '91 if you can.

Don’t know if it’s consensus or not, but yes I would pay a couple hundred dollar premium for a 1991 over a 2008 all else being equal.

…and the other thing that begins at 60 is the realization that every bone and joint and muscle injury you had when growing up suddenly aches now even though it hasn’t for decades.

Looks like fun. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how bold and aggressive the Greco can sound vs a modern Tbird.
BTW - Toes dude!

Sad that they removed the opti-grab and painted it. I’d pass.

Just turned 63 on the 5th

I was 8 about to be 53 on the 3rd of January.

60 on 12th January.

I’m January as well, I was 7.

Capricorns unite! (J1) (...did I leave anyone out?)

Happy birthday! I’ll be 64 in February. There’s a Beatles song there somewhere.

These days maybe. But without the opti-grab there’s no point IMO.

That Sgt Peppers Beatles song inadvertently was part of the impetus for starting The Sean Conneries 4 years ago. We performed a Sunday J1 B-day show at Winters and learned "When I'm 64" to play that day. (on my 64th B-day) We needed a name to put on the marque and since we were all in Bond Girl (BG minus BG), I just wrote in "The Sean Conneries". I was thinking of changing it when Kirstin joined, but she liked the name so it stuck.

Glad you made it another year! Mine was today (59), and I told a friend for the first time since turning 16 or 21 I feel like making it another year was a real accomplishment.
