PS- I'm 65 and wondering which will come first... my inability to physically ride my motorcycles... or the lack of gasoline available to ride my motorcycles... I've told my wife several times that I'm glad I'm 65 instead of 35... I couldn't take 40 more years of what's going on, for many, many reasons...
Same boat for me. I focus on the now. Most major changes usually come out of left field. That's why most predictions of the future fail miserably. I for one think humans will not be allowed to "ride" or "drive" anything 50 years from now...

An example of this transition is from back in the day when I was a motor head with V-8 muscle cars. We did all we could to wring near 400 HP outta our rides. Lots of time and coin spent.

Now, you can drop either a factory or aftermarket mill in there with 600+ HP
Someone is converting them (classic cars) in England. I forget the name of the company
