Default you know when you are getting old when...

you no longer have an interest in stupid power cars and silly size turbos

maybe my wanting for an ST200 is telling me something - maybe i should be getting a pipe and slippers for my 22nd birthday

is it just me or do other people go thru phases of "i cant be arsed with pissing about with cars anymore" ?

22???? I've got pairs of pants older than that.

maybe you wanting an st200 is just a sign that your taste is becoming more refined rather than more mature. Have you developed a taste for fine port, cheeses and literature?
