    If you are 60 or older you’re in. We have 70+ and 80+. All are welcome. As far as being confused, we are all a little confused.

    When I started the thread, back in the dark ages, there weren't a lot of us over 60 that had Tacomas. But as time went on and more folks that turned 60 and signed on and here i am now getting ready to turn 77 :eek: ! Many that have been on the thread have left for one reason or another but we still have a great group on here even with all the aches, pains and SS and medicare issues we still manage to post. When you read the posts, we have a very diverse and knowledgeable group that has more information available than Google :D:thumbsup:. Enjoy the posts all.

    I hang out in the 50’s thread, I hang out here as well. I don’t think we need a over 70’s thread, to much reality :D Morning kids :hattip:

    I was born in Detroit, moved to San Diego California when I was 4, came back to metro Detroit in 1976, been here ever since. My roots are pla Ted here and I'm too damn old to move. I'm not going anywhere. I'm humble and happy where I am. Going on a blessing of the bikes motorcycle ride today after church with some friends I have known since we where teenagers.

    Lots of Detroit references today; I lived in the Detroit area until 1975, then moved to San Diego. After a stint in the Marines I landed back in Detroit in 1979 through 1980. I love the Greek food, the music, and many of the suburban areas around the city are very worthy of a visit, which is a good thing because I'll be back there for my 50th high school reunion in September. :)

    Lahser up in Bloomfield Hills; what's funny about this is we lived in Troy, but due to a quirk in how the school district lines were drawn, me and my siblings, along with the kids of four other houses on our street, went to Bloomfield Hills schools; go figure.

    Welcome to the thread.

    Good Morning. Lots of Motor City talk. My wife lived in Farmington when she was born. We go up to the Detroit area about 3 times a year. My Neice and Nephew now own their parents cottage and I love staying up in Caseville for a summer vacation. Extremely relaxing and always a good time. Family is everything to me and the wife.

    Welcome!
    I imagine I would not go to the 70’s thread, it’s too far from here and I am not as fast as I was in 50’s. :anonymous:
