Depends on the car...My car has a bunch o exhaust leaks so it's probably like smokin a pack o smokes when I drive it.

Anything that gets you out of your La-Z-Boy and off your duff is a good thing.  I just returned from VIR instructing for a club HPDE, will be doing a couple of car shows before doing more HPDE's later in the Fall...that plus doing the service on all the vehicles, yard work and "honey-do's".  I'm not the kind of person that says "Guess how old I am." but, for the sake of this discussion, let's just say I'm closing in on 80.  My dad always told me "It's harder to hit a moving target" so I don't intend on slowing down.

Cars are like women... a good one most certainly can but a bad one is nothing but trouble, stress and will kill you

And there are so few good ones. Those of you who found good ones, hats off to you.

I don't know if you are referring to cars or women but I have been blessed with both for over 45 years...

There, you see?  All the good ones were taken.  All I was left with was B grade Detroit scrap iron.

There is certainly a lot of duds out there Richard. A cold beer and your red lady is absolutely all you need. Cheers

Well 82 year old dad had a serious health scare the other week.  I emergency flew from Europe to be at his hospital bed. He rallied extremely well and was released from hospital.  He then immediately wanted to collect the 64.5 convertible he bought the week before

So yeah, cars help longevity

Very glad to hear about all the older dads who still have gasoline in their veins. 

My dad, when he was in his 80s, loved it when I'd do a smoky burnout and run it hard through the gears, when giving him a ride.

Probably like most of you, I'll be boiling the hides until they cart me off in a box. 

So +1 for cars extending a man's life.  Make that "fast, gas-guzzling performance cars, preferably with carburetors."
