Big day tomorrow.... 40th Bday!!!

Boy did this ever sneak up on me! Tomorrow I will be hitting the big "four oh" and it feels like somebody has made a mistake in accounting. I can't possibly be that old already! I remember as a kid thinking that 40 was like, almost dead or something. lol.

Well, a co-worker told me that I'm the oldest teenager he's ever met, and I'll take that as a compliment. I still feel like a teenager. And I'll be damned if I'm not getting better looking with every passing year (yeah, I was pretty ugly to start out with).

So, a word for all of you youngsters out there. 40 is not half dead by any means. Tomorrow I'll be partying with all my relatives, but I had to tell my friends today.....

I may grow older, but I refuse to "Grow up"........

Happy B-day to the 2 old guys.

I'll be at the marker in several more years. Scary how time flies. Doesn't really seem that long ago when I bought my 7, but it has already been 13 years! Man, I'm getting old too.

Happy B-day, guys!

I'm celebrating my birthday on Sunday, by going out and flogging the car amid the sea of cones. The date may be off by a few days, but we can't always have B-day's fall on a weekend.
Instead of taking the 12A car, I'm taking the SE with it's 6P 13B topped by an edelbrock 600. This old dog still has a few new tricks up his sleeve.......

No its more like 3/4 dead hahaha. Just kidding. That being said turning 20 wasn't overly exciting. (golden years are over! :S) hahaha just kidding though, looking forward to many more years of knowledge coming from you!

Happy 40th Kentetsu!!!

Happy 40th Kentetsu!!!

May you have another 40 yrs more to enjoy and may all of our first gen rotors last as long as we do.

I'm planning my little Bro's 40th in Vegas as a way of treating myself to a good time.

Those boyz on the cake are the Aussie kids entertainment troop known as The Wiggles. Probably headed to Wiggle Bay... Glad my 7 year old son is through that phase... and into his Star Wars phase.

Wow, puts things in perspective. Where will this site be in 5, 10, 15 years? Cool thing about this site is there are alot of old school players as well as younger generation "rotor heads" learning from them. Keeping the legacy alive!

H-Bday Kent
