Old Codger - New Registrant

I registered on Friday, May 2, 2008. My forte as an Old Codger is waiting. What I'm waiting for is a silver Passion Coupe. I'll just sit here on my rocking chair and hope that I can hear the telephone when my dealer rings.

We may have to start an "OC" section as there are so many of us! Welcome aboard.

Wonder what qualifies as being OC? Found my first gray hair this past weekend.

Welcome to the forums and there's plenty of us mature ones around here.

Old Codger

Well, I just turned 63 on the 29th of April so I'm sure I qualify as an OC. I'm still waiting on delivery of my Smart. LeeAnne at Bloomfield Hills called about a week ago and said it would be approximately 30 days until my car arrived. We'll see. I've waited so long already that another month or two is nothing. I first registered on 30 May 07.

heh. I wonder what the age range for the "OC" should be? I'm 45, but in this culture I sure as heck have more in common with someone who is 60, than someone who is 30! ;)

I second (third? fourth?) that sentiment. Unfortunately, even as an OC, I'm not very good at patience!

I've had grey since I was 21, so I don't think that counts. Let's say that you are an OC if you have been invited to join AARP!
