Holy crap. How can I be 50? It sneaks up on you, that’s for sure.
This morning I rolled around on the floor trying to armlock people and not get armlocked by people (jiujitsu).
It warmed up to 75 degrees here in DC, so I walked the dog around the local park.
Then I washed the car. I think it’s been 2 months since I washed the GTI. I still like this car, and the heated seats will feel good on my back this evening.
I can’t wait until spring to put the summer tires back on.
The day shall end with a family gathering, pizza, and perhaps an Advil to sooth my aching back (see jiujitsu and car washing).

Happy birthday mate. May the pain be worth it and the tears be tears of happiness.
Nice car. Black is a sod to keep clean and safely maintain from scratches, swirls and micromarring but worth it.

Happy birthday - mine, too! And I also have a blue Mk7 GTI with PP. And mine is very overdue for a washing . . . and really, needs a detailing.
It’s like we are twins, but born in different years. Enjoy the rest of the day!

Happy birthday! Told myself I’d take advantage of this weather in NoVa and wash the car but ended up hiking instead lol.

My 50th is coming up in a couple of months. You sound pretty spry from where I’m sitting. Happy birthday. Sounds like a good way to spend it.

Happy Birthday!
Also, that’s what I loved about my old GTI, the heated cloth seats. They’d hit the spot after a long day at work.

Happy Birthday! I have you beat by two years, and it certainly does sneak up on you. I have to agree with Indy, though, it’s not the years it’s the mileage.

3 more months for me. Am trying to decide what car to sell and what new one to buy to celebrate coming one year closer to my demise.
But congrats to you!

I turned 51 last November. My mom asked me how it felt to be 51, and I told her it felt a hell of a lot like it did the day before when I was still 50.
They say you’re only as old as you feel. My corollary to that is that you don’t have to feel as old as you are. I like that because it gives me at least a sense of still being in control. At least a little bit.
Happy Birthday. Your AARP membership form should be arriving soon.
Love the GTI, and love the VA plates. I grew up in Norfolk, and the first car I ever drove was an 82 Rabbit. I drove some sort of VW until my 01 Golf was murdered by a drunk driver two years ago.

Happy half-century! Sounds like a pretty awesome day, and probably not the weather you’re used to on your birthday either.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! We had a great drive through Old Town with the windows down and the music playing - pizza and presents were had - now it’s off to bed so I can get up early and “adult” again. Good Oppo Night to you!
