    27......Im so glad that there are so many people my age and younger. It really shows that those younger generations really see the oil crisis in reality. I just hope that it continues and we see a bigger influx off youth straying away from the "muscle" cars that the big three seem to be pumping out. We are making a difference!!!!!

    Well, I'm 50 this year, and I remember 4-track stereos. First stereo I had in my '60 T-Bird was a combo 4-track / 8-track player. And all the rest, like "duck and cover", of course, and the neighbor who actually dug a bomb shelter in their back yard.

    And I remember my mom exclaiming in exasperation "Then just hold her hand, you ninny!" at Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan Show. My brothers thought the Beach Boys would never fade away until that night. It was when I first really became aware of music.

    But what really bothers me is that AARP is sending me invitations to join their organization. I am definately not in the "R" camp yet ... working way too many hours! Leave me alone, you codgers! ;)

    I still have the J.C. Penney 8-track machine on which I recorded my own 8-tracks. It cost $19.95, including a genuine wood cabinet.

    You'll get 1-2 mailings per year from AARP until hell freezes over or you expire, whichever comes first.

    Governor Nelson Rockefeller had all of us digging bomb shelters in the 50's when I was in N.Y.

    It seems a greater proportion of our newer members are younger than was the case two years ago. That's probably a "heartening" thing for Toyota. The Prius was getting known as a geezer car in some circles.

    I had an employee bring in a "giant cassette player" he found in a thrift store, complete with some "continous play cassettes". He was convinced some large corporation had bought up the techology and buried it to keep it from destroying the cassette tape sales. He couldn't believe that the 8-track and cassette coexisted at the same time, and the consumers choose the cassette. He looked at it with wide eyes and said "I found the Betamax of audio tapes!"

    I'm still upset we don't have our robots, our cars don't fly, and we can't teleport ourselves to work. We did get the microwave and the watch-phones (well, almost ... now we use our phones for watches).

    Wow.

    20 here, 21 in August.

    It looks like I am the youngest Prius owner here.

    It's good to see such a wide spread of ages - 20's to 60's.
