Default You know you're getting old when...

A couple weeks ago i was off on 1 of my many 'nowhere in particular' drives through the hills when all of a sudden i had the urge to find a quiet no through road, flick the esc off and rip out a burnout, i chose the road, but before i could choose a spot i got distracted by the view, 10 minutes later i was on my way without disturbing the serenity, a few years ago i would've torn the serenity down and spat in its face.
I've never denied that I'm getting on in years ( my knees remind me daily ) but i didnt think i was that far gone, if you had of told me when i was just starting to drive that 1 day id prefer to sight of rolling hills to the sound of a turbo boosting, tyres screeching and smoke billowing, I'd probably have suggested that you find yourself an institution, the kind with comfy walls.

So there it is, i know im old because of that
Surely im not the only person thats had a reality moment like this?

(Doesnt mean im getting rid of the turbo btw)
