Life gets more interesting with every passing year. With age certainly comes great wisdom as they say. The things people don’t say about getting older gives rise to interesting experiences. Every stage of life brings awesome challenges and change. The opportunities in the first few decades of life can be exciting and quite frankly, fun! As we get older the fun and frolic takes on a totally new meaning.

It is easy to let aging get you down. With this stage of life, your body might not work the same as it did when you were younger. It is true, life becomes less complicated or you have figured out how to live it without as much stress as when you were younger. Without a doubt, the engine leaks, the tires go flat, battery drains easily, exhaust pipes get clogged and body has dents.
Even so, care for the car as a “classic”. Keep it in on a rainy day, take it out for a Sunday drive, wax and polish it carefully so it won’t scratch, change the oil regularly, patch the leaks, and recharge the battery.
Enjoy it, cherish it and make sure to create as many memories as you can on your road trip.
