My brother is 25, and I'm 29. I think I knew more about go karts when I was 15... my first one was PVC pipe glued together and had 3.5 horses of raw snow-blower power. Age is like mileage: high or low numbers don't matter.... it's all about maintenance.

43... I had no idea so many young'uns were on here.... Jeez. I have t-shirts older than some of you guys. I'm serious about that too. Oldest t-shirt I have is from 1983. I obviously don't fit in it anymore but my 11Y.O. daughter wears it to bed sometimes.
