Default unique observation in villages

Today on my way to Publix, passed an 80 plus year old in a really hot Camaro, with very very loud radio playing elevator music that could be heard around shopping center....I had to giggle...Have you had any to share?

No, but I find that really funny! Granny is kicking up her heels at TV! I'm not done having great times, either!

Not quite that old, but I have a new Mustang convertible. I love to crank up the classic rock when I'm riding around. And I got my first ever speeding ticket in it earlier this year. Wasn't going that fast, but the speedometer goes to 160.

Why not? We're never too old to enjoy life and often our joy can be make others happy too. Looks like the 80 + lady added some joy and laughter even without knowing it.

Got my first ever speeding ticket driving to my cardiologist last year.

Well, I do think it is unique but not weird. I am 70 and you will see me in my Camero conversable SS. Why not? Its just a car and of course the music is loud...I couldn't hear it other wise.

Yep that's what The Villages needs more slower reactive seniors driving muscle cars on roads that have speed limits built to accommodate golf carts

Elevator music at full blast in a muscle car is, well, um, just wrong. Heck, elevator music is wrong. But the image did give me a giggle.

I don't drive mine in TV. That's why I have a golf cart.

I kind of agree about the elevator music - but whatever floats your boat!

There are, however, certain songs that are MEANT to be played L O U D !
