I became old today, Oppo. My 20s are officially gone.

What do the 30s have in store for me...besides more Phaeton repairs? A lot, I hope. I'd like to travel more, hike more, write more, and drive more. Sometime in this decade, I'm going to add another car to the stable...a diesel, I think. A house too, if I can swing it, but cars first.

You stay classy, Oppo. And don't go trading me in for a younger model.

Happy birthday, you young whipper snapper!
I like where your priorities are at, cars then house! That's how I did it, and now I'm looking to build a bigger garage to protect the cars...

Welcome to the thirties! If 30s = wife addition, be prepared for an equation for any car application. Space+time+money=project success! However with the thirties factor applied, one of the three formula pieces will always be randomly removed. You will always look for it especially when kids are introduced to said equation.

You have been warned! Overall thirties are fun but only when your job is good n secure.

well played old bean. I get the distinct impression that, on oppo, 30 actually is old, or above the average.

Yowen conducted a poll some time ago, and I think the average turned out to be something like 28.

Happy birthday! I lol'd at that last line.

Think of it like this, because your older and wiser and all that good stuff, you can make dumb decisions without having to explain them!

You said you want to travel more, and you said you want a diesel. You should go on a trip to Europe on a quest to find the perfect diesel!

Happy 30th!
My 30s were great. Went back to college for another degree. Got married. Traveled to South Africa, Ireland, England, Japan, Boston, Seattle, NYC, San Diego, Hawaii and drove up hwy 1 from LA to Napa Valley. Climbed the Grand Teton and Rainer. Completed triathlons.
Hopefully my 40s will be just as fun.
