4 year old story so doubt at that age he is still with us, but still interesting. While he CAN drive, should he? And it kinda gives encouragement to those who are certain they will have to stop driving at some point.

Our engineering manager took me to lunch in his AMG63 …
I seriously need to hook him up with this guy for training

Wonder if at age 90 he thought he would still be driving 10 years later, letalone 17 years later.
He seems to be doing pretty well.
If I'm still alive at 107, I hope I'm still able to drive.

Wow. Amazing. My Mom had a friend named Hilda who was mid 90's and still driving. Hope I'll still be able to!
I've heard of a few (very few) around here who are around 100 +/- a only a couple of years who still drive. The ones I've heard of only drive short distances to local places like the grocery store. One just drives 3 blocks to go to McDonald's for breakfast almost every day, then back home.
So the key to a long life is eat at McDonald's every day?
Maybe it is to have friends that they see at McD's every morning. A regular click of old guys who sit in one area every morning.
It's different for everyone. You knew when it was time. I commend you.WOW...I quit driving at age 67.
True! A teen during the Great Depression, 24 at the outbreak of WWII, 35 for Korea, 32 for Sputnik, and 50 by the time the U.S. was up to its waist in Vietnam. Fifty-four for the first moon landing, 58 for Watergate, 74 when the Berlin Wall came down, and on and on ... what a span of history to live through.
Age isn't much of a barrier. One of my docs (an eye specialist) was himself well into his 80s. He was a glider pilot instructor and performed check reviews of older pilots.
He had recently done a flight check of a glider pilot who had been a prewar glider pilot trainee in the Luftwaffe. My doc said this man was the best pilot he had ever ridden with. That pilot must have been well at least 90, and was probably older.

Another worlds oldest 107 year old,
Seems they die soon after their story gets posted on youtube. On the other hand, when you're 107, the chances of making it another year must be pretty slim.

Gets hard at that age when family (inc kids) , spouse and friends long dead.
My wife occasionally works with them at hospital.
