So what do you guy's think, at what age are you old? I just turned 50 today so am I actually old now to go with my old man with a hat status? When I was in my teen's I thought 50 was old, but now that I am 50, 85 or 90 looks old.
Is it just a matter of your only as old as you feel? Any thoughts?

I do Bill. But like I don't have my baby tooth, my first cap pistol iz long gone too but I can still remember playin' with it, lol
I can remember beating them with a rock against the sidewalk. If you hit it just right you could explode the whole roll with one hit. It's a wonder none of us got hurt!I do Bill. But like I don't have my baby tooth, my first cap pistol iz long gone too but I can still remember playin' with it, lol

My first apprentice. The kid just graduated HS, he drove a $50 escort with a $500 stereo (I still haven't invested that much into a single sound system). The car broke at least once every week, usually another alternator or battery from the stereo. He drove slow and didn't care if the car was fast as long as the music was loud.
My second apprentice. The kid had a beater 4 door parisienne. He spent multiple minimum wage paychecks to buy big wheels and tires. To fit said wheels the "expert" at the wheel store ground metal off the control arms at the ball joint. He never did tune that car up, so it never really ran very well...
That's when I decided I was old and the younger generation had screwed up priorities.
We have a young guy coming in the shop that wants to be a mechanic, he wants to learn. He went to a school, but from what he knows it sure wasn't UTI or Lincoln. He has a long way to go and a lot to learn.23...

My first two came into it because of limited options, they were available and pumping gas vs I needed help and the owner refused to hire anyone older than me, to work with me. He felt that I wouldn't be able to control an older tech and I was running things to his satisfaction. I couldn't afford to give them much slack, but I am proud that they continued on from there. One went to a dealer after a few years, the other wound up managing a dealer parts counter.We have a young guy coming in the shop that wants to be a mechanic, he wants to learn.
