I'll be 68 in January. Took delivery of my '23 Lariat EcoBoost AWD in Alto Blue on March 7th, and it now has about 9,500 miles. It's a great little truck, nice ride and I'm enjoying the B&O sound system. The only things I've done to this point has been adding the spray-in bedliner, window tinting, ceramic coating, chrome tailgate letting and used some Ford Pass points for the splash guards.

I'm 74 and waited 11 months and 5 days to finally receive my Cactus Grey XLT Hybrid. It was worth the wait....I love this pretty little rig. Great gas mileage, smooth handling and plenty of bells and whistles to keep this old timer amused. Looking forward to the convenience of the heated seats and steering wheel to get me through another cold Canadian winter.

Looks like my 2023 rollover. I was a month shy of 74 when I drove mine home last February, after waiting 482 days, on a 12°F day in Central Maine. You're gonna love the heated seats and steering wheel

I already do love them...especially the steering wheel. Got her snow tires installed last Thursday...now ready for winter. Let's hope it's a mild one here in the northeast. All the best to you.

How old am I? Well I remember my first horseless carriage was a...uh, never mind. Anyway, picked up my Area 51, 23 Lariat Hybrid last week and I've already spent the wife's butter and egg money on everything from bed liner to tail gate letters. Love the truck so far.

We haven't gone to PEI since 2005 so we're long overdue. Here's to a mild winter and an early spring

Hey now I resemble that. Wait I think that is wrong some how. Let me think about this.

I'm close to 81 and if I'm going to contemplate OGT (Old Geezer Teezer's) I might better eat an extra Brazil Nut.

I believe it is OK to refer to the ladies as "dudesses"!!!

Not to mention "Duchesses" & "Dandies"

Hmmm Roy Rogers $ Lash Laurie & Body Snatchers!

Ahh

Hello all. I just turned 68 and still working in IT. I sold my Toyota MR2 and Tacoma and bought my 2023 Maverick Lariat Lux CP360 hybrid atlas blue. Just 1000 miles on it so far. Enjoying driving it very much. Max mileage on a drive in town was 65 mpg! Average is 40.

I used to make calls by cranking our phone that had two very large dry cells next to it for power. The operator named Tillie would answer and ask what two digit number I wanted (our town had only 350 people). She used the central office switchboard to connect me to who I wanted to talk to. In the 60s they brought in dial phone service with party lines.

Shows I watched on a black and white TV were Ed Sullivan Show, Rawhide, I Love Lucy, The Wild Wild West, Bewitched, Jack LaLane, Truth or Consequences, and Jeopardy when I was home sick from school.

Yes party lines!! Our ring was long-short-short. I had a friend who had a "rich" daddy who paid extra for long-long-short-short for his kids whereas if you wanted to call his parents you would crank long-long-short. The guy had a sister and he complained a lot about when he got calls the other kids in the party group would pick-up to see if she had a boyfriend?

Back in the day, my grandmother had the only color TV in the family. I remember going over to her house on Sundays to watch TV in color. Us kids had to beg the adults to switch from Lawrence Welk to Bonanza.

In the Midwest, where I grew up, Lawrence Welk and Petticoat Junction was on at the same time. Dad would watch Petticoat Junction and mom would watch Lawrence Welk if dad was working in the fields. Also our first color TV was 1985. That was when the US Navy transfered me from Quantico to the USS Inchon and I gave my color tv to my family.

I am 76. My Mav, 2023 Lariat AWD Ecoboost 4K tow black appearance group. Bought it Sept 5, 2023 at Planet Ford in Spring, TX (Houston) I originally owned 2 Maverick cars 1969 and 1970. I have driven Fords since 1965 when I bought a 55 club Victoria. Not exclusively though. Had a few other brands through the years. My dad was always a Ford man but did buy a couple of Mercurys.
