0ld Ford Automotive Racing Terror
Of late various sources have reported on how the US has fallen out of the Top 20 Happiest Countries for the first time, but surprisingly there is alot more to the real story than the typical pot stirring. AARP just came out with a report on the actual analysis and guess what , if you are 60 or above you are one happy old fart , placing 10th in the happy go lucky spot. Breaking it down further the 45 to 59 group is in the 17th spot, so the crux of the situation is it is the Millenials and Gen Xers who are not happy.
I will come to the conclusion of this situation that I am sure Blacksheep and a few others will be able to deduce very quickly with the response, " Those are all those folks who don't like cars or prefer EVs ! "
We do have to admit that the Ancient Automotive Racing People (AARP ) on his Forum are pretty damn happy and it must be due to the fun we have socializing with those who like speed, burning rubber, noise, high horsepower, beer and wine and modifications. Throw in the fact that we have years and years of Armchair racing and can dazzle folks with tales of how fast we are ( er, used to be ) and it is no wonder we are actually happy campers.
So now you know the rest of the story, old racers are pleasant , funny, happy people and we need more young folks to listen to us, respect us, and get out and run with us, ha!!
