When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

I am getting close to 61. Everytime I get out of my yellow transformer 2SS I feel like people are saying "look at that old man" Oh well, It is paid for and most likely my last muscle/sports car.
Drive safe and enjoy (136 mph once)

It began in September 2009, when Coffman walked into a Chevrolet dealership near his home in Decatur, Ill., and spotted a bright yellow, 426-horsepower, "Transformer" Camaro with black racing stripes. The special-edition model was featured as the character "Bumblebee" in the "Transformers" movie. Coffman hadn't seen the film, but he was impressed with the car. He set his mind on buying it.

"The salesperson was a little uneasy at first, but I convinced him I was serious," Coffman said—so serious that the retired auto worker paid cash for the $38,000 special-edition car. "I figured, who would sell a 101-year-old man a car on time?" Coffman joked.

Coffman, who turned 102 on January 16, 2010, has a good sense of humor, but his age is no joke. As soon as the ink was dry on the paperwork, he became the oldest known Camaro buyer on record.
and... if he's still alive today, he'd be 103.

I bought my 6th Camaro, a 2010 SS/RS when I was 74 and I'm 76 now. I also have an 05 C6 Corvette. Life isn't worth living if you can't enjoy it.

There is no death record for a Virgil Coffman on Social Security death Index,
age 102 or so, the oldest one listed for that name was 82, so he's probably still alive and driving his SS...

He's saying he's owned 6 Camaros, most recently a 2010.
