I don't mind getting older. I get stronger every year. I hope to be stronger at 40 than I am today at 24.

so i need an opinion.

i need new stripes.

should i get black, or white?

Black would go with the top (but the tops only up in the winter or when its raining)
and white is a really good contrast with the NFR paint

I'm 18- I have you beat. 19 on May 22!

It's not so bad. I realize every year older, I get more and more stress/responsibilities/important things to do. I'd trade places with a 10 year old ANY day! haha

I see your predicament. Personally, I think the white looks good on your car. I'm not sure if the black would be a good contrast. Both would look great, but I would lean towards white.

Then again, you could get checkered flag stripes, then you would have both.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm only 18 (19 in June) and my brother and my best friend are both over 21, so I often get left out of things. Just recently we had planned to go to a local comedy club and it turns out that the day we planned on going was only open to 21+ people. Suck!

hahah! well I was marginally kidding! I think it'll be sort of fun reaching the 24 and 25-year-old status. I think that's where I'll stop having birthdays though

And I'd go with the white stripes for your color!

yeah, i refused to have a party on my 24th. I didnt even go out for dinner

My 25th, i'll just see what kind of quarter-life crisis i'm having (my co-worker died his hair blonde, and bought a guitar when he turned 25 for his 1/4 life crisis)

so we'll see
