I've found that any old (male) person who's an actual car enthusiast and not just your typical old person behind the wheel of a Buick or Cadillac is actually pretty decent at driving. They actually respect their car and drive much more sensibly than the majority of the people on the road.
 
Hey, if he's still got the coordination and the physical/mental ability to both safely drive and to enjoy the car, then more power to him!
 
Maybe he wants to go out like Nick Swardson said he would when he's old.

“Your friends are like, ‘Hey, I heard your grandma passed away—what happened?’ ‘Psssh...She flipped her ’vette, man.’”
 
Not bad looking for 101 ... I just hope his reflexes are still moderately ok. Would hate to see him hurt due to the cars power and potential handling quirks. (as would be the case with any high power rear drive car)

At least the car is bright yellow so you'll have a better chance of seeing it coming.

Hey, My 87 year old mom was a damn good driver. She was no stick in the mud and had her wits about her. Probably more so than some of the younger nitwits around here.
 
Holy shit.

I already know ill die in my 70s if im lucky.

I wonder about the lifestyle this guy lived to look and act like that past the century mark.
