Mrs. Olsen: Any questions?
Caulfield: If Einstein was right and speed reverses time, why is it mostly old guys you see in sports cars? She said something about peak earning years.
Frazz: Not to mention peak desperate-to-test-the-theory years.

Not to mention that you also need to go past light, and those guys are too pudgy.

It does not. It affects interaction with the energy field we call “empty space”, slowing the quantum processes by which we measure time.
I just made that up, but it will eventually be part of the New Standard Model.

I doubt Einstein said higher speed reverses time. Slow it down (if traveling near light speed). Old men and sports cars, on the other hand: too much money, too little time (among other issues).

This old man will never have a sports car. They’re too hard to get in and out of.

The reason is they read too much Dylan Thomas (whoever he was). But that’s alright ma, everybody must get stoned
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

It isn’t a theory, it is a stereotype though of post 40 year old men feeling weak waste money on an expensive muscle car.

I’m in my mid 40’s and bought a new Mustang GT last year. I have a full head of hair with very little, if any, grey and I’ve never dyed it and never would. I bought the car not to prove anything, but because I’m a car guy, have always loved Mustangs, and finally got to the point where I could afford one.

Caulfield may be onto something — old codgers drive old sports cars, but the hot cars that get totalled in street races are owned by (what appear to be) Asian youngsters!
